The History of Computers from SUPERBROTHERS

Filed under: Computers and Peripherals,Retro Gadgets — Laura Moncur @ 8:24 am

This is a pretty fun video showcasing the history of computers. It’s called Dot Matrix Revolution from SUPERBROTHERS and I found it delightful:

Even their description of it is fun:

Following an early morning status check of their vintage electronic equipment, two computer engineers “throw down” in an awkward dance-off that seems to echo the development of information technolgy and the internet from 1951 up to the present day (!?). The film features a catchy jingle by pop impresario Jim Guthrie. This is the second film by SUPERBROTHERS.

Next time you hear Steve Jobs talking about uploading things to “The Cloud” remember this little rendition of what it may look like.
