I love how in the day they used "ESS" as a mass noun, even though it's basically the same part of speech as "computer" |

ha, that was back in the day when commercial silicon crystals were an inch in diameter |

the end of the narration and beginning of the credits make me slightly wonder if they're missing a few words, like "the twilight zone" or the outer limits or something |

the visuals bounce between the two versions |

it is almost like these are two separate lab elements, but that doesn't explain why it keeps in sync between the two |

I am amused by the "Incredible Machine" one, because they talk about writing programs to render computer-generated animations to film. and I am WATCHING THIS ON A COMPUTER. one that is much much faster than what they had then, and only 54 years later |
