Computer History Archives Project (CHAP) | Vintage Educational GE Computer Film 1969 General Electric DATANET 30 Data Processing @ComputerHistoryArchivesProject | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Vintage Educational GE Computer Film from 1969, Produced by General Electric. A short intro to the computer's functions of INPUT, STORAGE, CALCULATION, OUTPUT and CONTROL. A low-budget, educational film, a bit dry, but several scenes of 1960's GE Computers, GE 435, DATANET 30 and other hardware. Audio is a bit choppy. Probably intended for high-school students of the 1960's. This was one of the very last GE Computer films made, since GE sold off its computer business to HONEYWELL the following year (1970). Your comments are welcome. Runs about 8 minutes.
