Ive uploaded a clip of the computer from the 40s that Ive been studying all semester. I think its a really aesthetically fascinating machine, but Im left with a lot of questions about the politics of its interface design. As you can see about 1:00 in, the lights on its sequence relays flash through a series of incredibly rapid patterns. Did these provide any meaningful information to its operators? Is their presence incidental? Or was IBM merely trying to create the most impressive technological spectacle it could muster? https://youtube/watch?v=eKknSGSwJqY&feature=youtu.be
