個人電腦演變(The Evolution of Personal Computers) (2) – 十年前預測的今天

今天是2011年4月13日，在十一年前，有人拍了一段科技影片，預測了今天的科技應用，其實當時仍是微軟^W的世界，流動科技^W及網絡^W通訊仍是遙不可及的高檔玩意，同學們可從影片中看到，ICT科技在這十年間的變化是否如影片所描繪呢？

優秀ICT教學記錄片系列(6) – 2005《The Creation of the Computer》

相比其他的學科，ICT科的記錄片不多，所以iGardener老師幾經辛苦，除了早前介紹 BBC的虛擬革命和 Nerd1, 2系列之外，今次找到一套有關電腦歷史的記錄片，叫 The Creation of the Computer。

這是 Modern Marvels^W® 2005年的製作，影片會展示電腦之父Charles Babbage^W的維多利亞式「票機」的機械計算機如何解解決數學問題，和 IBM^W 是如何通過推出打卡機加速1890年的人口普查。

在此觀看48分鐘的的記錄片吧！（2018年更新了YouTube 連結）

The machines at the center of the information age have revolutionized our lives and digitalized our world, making previously unthinkable tasks automatic and linking people from around the planet.
Modern Marvels® presents a fascinating exploration into the history of the computer. See Charles Babbage’s Victorian “counting machine,” a mechanical computer that produced perfect results for any mathematical problem of six figures or less, and discover how IBM was launched through a punch-card counting machine built to accelerate the 1890 census.

Trace the technological advancements that led to the first modern computers and witness the rapid progress that allowed them to shrink from room-sized monsters to the desktop units that revolutionized life in the ’90s.
The Creation of the Computer journeys into the fast-paced world of technology and innovation to expose the phenomenal history of the most influential invention of modern times.
