Modern Marvels: The Creation of the Computer

Few would deny that the modern computer has changed the face of the human race, and in this technologically-minded installment of The History Channel's Modern Marvels series, documentary filmmakers explore just how the remarkable machines helped the information age soar to historical new heights. From the Victorian "counting machine" of Charles Babbage to the punch-card counting machine that helped to launch IBM during the 1890 census, the room-sized behemoths of the early 20th Century, and the desktop machines that revolutionized life during the millennial crossover, this compelling look at the history of the computer is sure to capture the imagination of devoted techies pondering just what wonders lie ahead on the road to technological nirvana. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
