All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace - 2nd Episode

Alt URL (whole documentary in one single video).

I kind of agree with Deano. The abuse of montage and trippy soundtrack gets tiring after awhile, and you wonder why computers are supposed to be the central character/concept. Also, Acts Of Sloppiness Spotted: South Korea is not in South East Asia (in episode 1); and it's Ukraine, no "the", thank you.

And in case you're wondering, the grossly glossed-over genius demoing what would basically become the future of computing, around the 24-minute mark (Graphical User Interface, mouse, network, Instant messaging,etc...) is Douglas Engelbart. His demo is called, in all simplicity, The Mother Of All Demos. Remember this was done in the 60s, so even basic components of modern computing like the C language or Unix were not invented yet. Many people were still on punch-cards back then.
