They were massive mainframes, incredibly slow, filled an entire room and needed a full staff of scientists or researchers for maintenance. In fact, before the late 70s, computer scientists programmed using stacks of punch cards!
People generally saw
computers as untouchable, complex and ridiculously expensive devices reserved only for the elite in academia, defense or the government. In fact, the industry titans who devoted their lives to the world of computing worked hard to overcome this stigma. It’s amazing to think how we’ve come from then. Today some people
actually feel anxiety when they don't have their personal devices. One of the first famous uses of computers in the US was back in 1890 when the Automatic Electrical Tabulating Machine calculated data for over 60 million Americans. In the 1940s, the Bombes and Colossus computers decrypted German codes during World War II. The 1950s welcomed the first commercial computers, like the Zuse 3 and UNIVAC, for arithmetic operations. But you would need millions of dollars to actually buy one. From an educational standpoint, most of all the programming language books about the earlier programming languages, like FORTRAN or BASIC, started off by proving a point: Computers are, in fact, useful. This is according to Algorithmist and Researcher John Mount.
It has its moments, but you have to GRIND through HOURS of flashbacks. There aren't even that many filler episodes, so you
just have to sit through and endure, picking pieces of information, plot and character development throughout the whole series until you arrive at the key moments of each arc, the payout after all the buildup.
This series is only recommended for anyone who feels like enduring the challenge of sitting through it. If you're into . reading manga, I highly recommend reading it. The story, characters and the world are well written and the pacing is good, I'd say it only depends on your reading speed.
I'm editing this review in the future once I'm caught up with the damned thing and give it a proper rating score,
because it's a piece of art in development so it's not fair to give it a rating this early into the show (800 eps in lol).
