This one's a doozy, and there's a reason we saved it for a Friday: this clip is 28 minutes long.
What is it? A vintage episode of the defunct program "Computer Chronicles," this one covering Japan's Tsukuba Expo '85. What's amazing is that even 22 years later, some of Japan's 1985 technology still drops jaws, like the 14-storey CRT television that kicks the program off. (Also amazing: Sony is introduced as "Sony, a Japanese manufacturer.")
Sure it's a Friday, but I've still got some work to do--do I have to watch the whole thing?
Of course not, just load it up and scan the highlights. One you must not miss: at minute-marker 2:38, check out the gaggle of Japanese schoolboys with hair that just won't quit gathering around an early PC. Never mind that the computer looks like the one from Lost--if their hair doesn't get a reaction out of you, someone should mine you, because you're made out of stone.
