|
the need for socialist propaganda makes you invent incredible things all with goal of lying to people
|
That reminds me of the first ever computer that I saw - I was still in school and they took us on a tour to a facility with like 10-20 computers, each of them probably weighing a ton and using that paper with the funny holes...

I love old tech. I don't k now why but reel to reel computer storage devices always interest me. Maybe its because they were in all my favourite sci-fi flicks as a kid (Colossus: The Forbin Project, 6 Million Dollar Man, etc).
Cool video, thanks for sharing! |

One of the computer classes taught punhcards, even though we had no punchcard reader or puncher (whatever it was called). So we had to make the holes in the cards by poking it with a pencil. The teacher would then hold up the cards to the light to see if we punched the right holes or not. LAME. |

Impressive for 30 years ago

That's pretty good, it doesn't look like he's retouching it manuallly so it could be like the content aware filters photoshop is coming up with now. Of course they probably just cut out the 120 hours of pixel pushing, but you never know with Russians...
|
Nice share, thank you!

Stalin invented "photochop" as it is...

cool stuff :thumbsup
|
looks complicated
|
I'm sure that somehow this technology was a precursor to stealing credit card numbers.
