See Univac’s Brain in Action!

In the early 1950s, Remington-Rand produced a short film promoting the use of its Univac computer for the office. Of course, Univac's sheer size is what hits viewers used to notebook computers and PDAs, but never forget that this behemoth cut work time significantly and paved the way for smaller, faster machines. Apologies in advance for the clip quality, watch all of the original here.
