This episode is actually a great documentation of the pre- Microsoft/Apple PC era we live in now. If you are of a certain age, you remember when computers took up a room, and had whirling spinning discs and buttons and knobs, and usually belonged to government, universities and corporations and institutes. Cultural Anthropologists could use this episode as a time capsule of how people thought about and feared computers as they were being developed. Much science fiction at the time mirrored humans uneasiness with the thought of the human brain being eclipsed by machine and what those consequences would be. Now with our IPads and PC's it's difficult to remember how people were feeling as the computer age was rearing up - these types of stories remind us about how people were distrusting those machines. If you were born in the sixties or before, you are a phenomenon- the only generation to have seen the computer age develop: from a black and white TV with tubes, Polaroid and Kodak camera with detachable Flash, and a typewriter- to a calculator, to a word processor, to a computer, to a PC, to the Internet, to color then flat panel TV, to microwaves, to a cell phone, to a digital camera,  to a Smart Phone, to a laptop, to a Tablet, to an iWatch and the Cloud. WE SAW IT ALL!!
