This 1972 documentary entitled "Computer Networks: The Heralds of
Resource Sharing" covers the early years of ARPAnet, the precursor of
the Internet, through interviews with the heroes of the internetworking
revolution. Tightly wound internetworking geeks like the legendary LCR
Licklider intensely recite the benefits that internetworking will
shortly deliver, sliding in digs at the telecoms industry, the Bellheads
who have no desire to see this future realized. This is a fantastic 30
minutes of paleo-nerd memorabilia.
