Computer History: Memory & Storage 1950-1985 - (Core, disc, vacuum tube, etc.)

Computer History: Memory and Storage: 1950-1985: A very enjoyable talk about the early evolution of computer memory and storage with lots of examples. Well paced, good explanations. (Excerpt from British TV series “Micro Live” one of several very professional British TV programs from the 1980’s that focused on educating the public about computers.)

This very brief minute clip also mentions the LEO 1 computer by Lyons Company and the ICT 1300 computer of 1962. Provided for historical review and comment only.

(Micro Live was produced by David Allen as part of the BBC's Computer Literacy Project, and followed on from earlier series such as The Computer Programme, Computers In Control, and Making the Most of the Micro.)
