So, this doc, 'How the Computer Became Personal', dives into the peculiar intersection of Orwell's 1984 and the rise of computers. It’s fascinating how it weaves historical threads from that era, showing how the tech we take for granted today started to take shape. The pacing feels reflective, almost like a slow stroll through a time capsule. There's a real sense of nostalgia, but also a touch of unease as it discusses surveillance and connectivity. The interview clips, while sometimes grainy, add a genuine layer to the storytelling. It’s not just about tech; it grapples with themes of privacy and autonomy that feel alarmingly relevant today. An intriguing watch for anyone into the evolution of personal computing.
