Claude Shannon, John McCarthy, Ed Fredkin, Joe Weizenbaum, April 1968
About the film...The film spans 8 decades of Joseph Weizenbaum's life. It provides a stage for his humorous
narrative depicting a World of Yesterday while reflecting on the dawn of the computer age.
It follows 84-year-old Weizenbaum on some of his numerous public lessons, effortlessly
entertaining overcrowded lecture halls.
The old man is an up-to-date chronicler, a chief witness against militarism and the myths
of technological progress, but he remains a modest, funny and most reflective story teller.
