it's not supposed to be exciting, it just shows the very early technology in it's infancy on very large computers at the time, this was pretty amazing technology at that time

Paul&John 11-03-2010 01:21 AM

Damn that's pretty impressive for 1980...

Yeah. That was pretty interesting even without understanding the narrator. I knew 3 words.. mosaic, command and photograph. Imagine how much that computer cost :1orglaugh

So was this prior to the quantel paint box, with an 80 Meg drive that was 4 feet by 2 feet?

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!

You mean punch cards:

When I was in high school in the early 80's, the TRS-80 was just making its way into our school but we still had Terminals connected to an HP2000 mainfraim. 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.

In Russia? Probably 2 cows and 8 cases of Vodka.

ottopottomouse 11-03-2010 04:53 AM

Impressive for 30 years ago

Hentaikid 11-03-2010 05:13 AM

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...

Tjeezers 11-03-2010 05:29 AM

Nice share, thank you!

Stalin invented "photochop" as it is...

Nikolai Yezhov, the young man walking with Stalin in the top photo from the 1930s, was shot in 1940. Following his death, Yezhov was edited out of the photo by Soviet censors. Such retouching was a common occurrence during Stalin's rule.

cool stuff :thumbsup

madawgz 11-03-2010 01:26 PM

looks complicated

bronco67 11-03-2010 02:46 PM

I'm sure that somehow this technology was a precursor to stealing credit card numbers.

That's taking censorship a bit harshly.
