It's amazing really - this used to be cutting edge technology - I thought it was at the time. When I was young, I read tons of science fiction. Today not so much, because it is happening all around us. The feats of Watson on Jeopardy last week illustrate this point well. Thanks for the comment, Peter.

Just listening to the sound of the teletype on the video took me back to my first job after leaving the farm in 1968 where there was a "telex" machine - as they were called in British influenced parts of the world. I had a later, quieter model in the early 90's, when daisy wheel and golf ball typewriters were still around. Word Processors with huge cabinets of electronics were just starting to appear and fax machines were becoming common. Thanks for that trip back in time J.Daniel.
