ugh.... There are quite a few inaccuracies in there, one being his description of batch processing as inefficient. Batch processing is actually marvelously efficient because the computer is running through the instructions as fast as it can. The reason it fell by the wayside is developers and programmers didn't like it, because it did not allow real-time interaction with the computer.
Just my opinion, but he also didn't do a great job of describing exactly what was going on... Just because something's said in a British accent doesn't make it great, brilliant, or accurate.
But an interesting find.
