Well, I stand corrected, thanks. Apparently there are too many things called 'The Incredible Machine'. I just clicked on the video for a second and the first image it showed still seemed to fit the 'human body' topic, because at a glance it looked like some kind of ultrasonic scanner.

I started work and abandoned a small clone of this wonderful game a long time ago https://github.com/nibrahim/Devious-machinations
This film is great because it not only illustrates the wonderful abilities of early computers but also emphasizes the humans who build them. Something I don’t see as a focal point nowadays
I seem to recall software having credits in the eighties and nineties
"The Mother of All Demos" by Douglas Engelbart and his team at SRI happened the same year. It was done live. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mother_of_All_Demos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nm47PFALc8 It included: - A pointing device (the first mouse) - A GUI - Hypertext - Word processing - Collaborative real-time editing of a document - Video conferencing - File sharing
Is it just me or do some of the people in this movie look like they haven't slept an in a while and are just trying to hold it together? They just kind of look like they're under a lot of pressure. But it's a cool film. The rendition of Daisy Bell is what inspired HAL 9000 to sing the same song.

The real incredible thing is the "automatically generated subtitles". Try enabling them and watch the video again, Those need to be created by some AI, I guess.

What is it trying to tell us? (:
This came out the same year as the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey" and at the 10 minute mark in the video they have a program "singing" the same song as HAL 9000 in the movie, "Daisy Bell". I wonder who inspired who, assuming it's not just a coincidence.
From Wikipedia: In 1961, an IBM 7094 at Bell Labs was programmed to sing "Daisy Bell" in the earliest demonstration of computer speech synthesis... Science-fiction author Arthur C. Clarke witnessed the IBM 704 demonstration during a trip to Bell Labs in 1962 and referred to it in the 1968 novel and film 2001: A Space Odyssey, in which the HAL 9000 computer sings "Daisy Bell" during its gradual deactivation.[13]
