All About Polymorphics

Overview

This sales film for TRW is aimed at large scale corporate clients for mainframe computers. The film depicts company co-founder Simon Ramo’s concept of ‘polymorphic computing’ and is based on a "doodle essay" that he made (think -- 1960s pencil driven Power Point). The film anticipates innovations in the evolution of technology from parallel processing to peer to peer file sharing and cloud computing as well as the architecture of ARPANET and the architecture of the internet. The film was presented by TRW, an American corporation which was involved in several businesses including aerospace, automotive and credit reporting.
