Default "Hidden Figures" . . . the world before computers
A movie that well illustrates the pre-computer days of the early 1960's is "Hidden Figures" which was released earlier this year. If you want to rent a great movie, get this one. The story focuses on a team of female mathematicians who worked for NASA before computers were commonplace. Parts of the movie may make you angry; parts of the movie will make you cheer and applaud.
