History of Computers: Video Commentary

I find it interesting that people were so much more close-minded about technology just 50 years ago. I started thinking about this when the video stated that in the beginning, they only thought that the entire world needed something like 7 computers. There was no need for anything more. It's funny because the science fiction of the era was incredibly creative. The minds of writers were open to the future and what could happen, but the scientists who were staring at this amazing technology, couldn't see anything beyond it's current state.
