About 1 hr in, a "computer" is used to analyze flying saucer
messages. It's a Bush-style (no not our dimwit president, the MIT
guy) diff analyzer! Operating! With plotter!
TiVo'd it. 1956 Harryhausen movie. Haven't seen it since I was 12!

It appears even earlier in "When Worlds Collide"
(1951).

With a *bogus* plotter - I don't think a real differential analyzer
writes its output in cursive English. ;-) It's an early appearance
of "The Hollywood Operating System".

Watched that just tonight. We must have been on the same channel.

It's not a whole lot worse than 'paperless office' or that
still-repeated canard 'improved productivity' -- what, am I a
factory?!
(Did someone remove the plotter arm link from the DA, and
manipulate it from off-screen? It's still pretty amusing to
watch. :-)
