"Robot" - Short Film By Jim Henson (1963)

This very odd short film has just been released from AT&T's archives. It was originally made for an elite seminar given for business owners, on the then-brand-new topic — Data Communications.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. The film illustrates the nascent, but growing relationship between man and machine - a relationship not without tension and resentment.
