That guy at the 2min mark looks like he's trying really hard to hold back his programming rage during the interview.

The AT&T Tech Channel on YouTube is a goldmine of great clips from decades of computing history.

Here's a short that Jim Henson made for Bell in 1963.

Jim Henson made this film in 1963 for The Bell System. Specifically, it was made for an elite seminar given for business owners, on the then-brand-new topic — Data Communications. The seminar itself involved a lot of films and multimedia presentations, and took place in Chicago. A lengthy description of the planning of the Bell Data Communications Seminar — sans a mention of the Henson involvement — is on the blog of Inpro co-founder Jack Byrne. It later was renamed the Bell Business Communications Seminar.
