Daisy Bell Sang by an IBM 7094

Slight error to the first description, 7090 (the predecessor of the 7094) came from 1959. 7094 however was made in 1962. this video is about 7094, not 7090.
the advanced solid-state IBM 7094 offered substantial increases in internal operating speeds and functional capacities to match growing scientific workloads in the 1960s. The powerful IBM 7094 had 1.4 to 2.4 times the internal processing speed, depending upon the individual application.
The 7094, combined with major input/output improvements through IBM 729 VI and IBM 7340 Hypertape units along with programming systems such as 7090/7094 FORTRAN, reduced job time significantly for users.
IBM later discontinued the 7094 in July 14, 1969. however, abandoned machines dont die. they will live as long as the world still exists.

I started programming on a 7094 in 1965, We also had some 7090s around but they were being phased out. From the 7094 we went to UNIVAC 6600s and then to IBM 360s. Interesting times. But Daisy Bell was not SANG by a 7094, it was SUNG by a 7094.

This seems...so nostalgic, but I am from Poland and I was born in the 2000's, My grandma was alive back then, but she was trapped under the USSR, she never went to America, by the 80's when My granddad went to France, those computers were useless. The way the methapores play out seems almost human, but I know it's just a machine. The song may not be scary, nor the visuals, but... There's just this abandoned computer, laying in a basement, or a museum, rusting, it's framerate dying. But the machine won't die, because it's not a human, it's just laying there for eternity, or scrapped, and it will do so, unless it's vaporized. The song makes it even worse, as one comment described "It's almost like something trying to be human, but it's not." And "Imagine seeing this in a abandoned office, randomly turning this song on, almost like a plea for help." This describes it the best. I can't explain it better than that.
