Remington Rand

Today's flashback is a promotional film for Remington-Rand's pioneering UNIVAC computer. The film is from from about 1952 and is from the collection of the Computer History Museum (website, YouTube channel) in Mountain View, California.

I particularly enjoyed the exasperated reaction by the female clerk at 1:35 into the video as the man brings her more work to file away. Good thing computers have completely changed that and no one ever gets frustrated handling company data any more!

The video is 17:31 in length. Enjoy this fascinating look back at computer history.
