Computing. Ancient Discoveries
Description
Basic computing functions make automatic calculations and are the epitome of the modern age. The first electrical computers only emerged in the Second World War and the first mechanical ones barely a century before that. This film looks at machines in ancient Greece from more than 2,000 years ago that did exactly the same thing.
