Computers Are People, Too!

About This Movie

So, 'Computers Are People, Too!' dives into this fascinating blend of tech and humanity back in the early '80s. It’s not your typical polished documentary; it has this raw, exploratory vibe that really captures the era's curiosity about computers. You get a taste of how people envisioned human-computer interaction, along with some historical context that feels both nostalgic and a bit ahead of its time. The techniques showcased, especially those that were later seen in Tron, are intriguing—mixing real-world photography with computer animation in a way that feels experimental. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but that adds to its charm. It's distinct in its earnest approach to a subject that was still so new and evolving.
