    1. Just want to fill in a couple of gaps
      1933 – IBM begins strategic alliance with Nazi Germany
      Aided by the company’s custom-designed and constantly updated Hollerith systems, Hitler was able to automate his persecution of the Jews.

      Just thought I’d put that out there…

    2. The shot at 3:11 is of the Atwater -Kent Radio factory taken in 1924

    3. Just an FYI: The shots of the IBM factory assembly line in 1934 are actually the Atwater-Kent Radio factory in the 1920′s.

    4. I am proud to be an IBMER

    5. The commercial is as artistic & inspiring as were the recent years commercials from DeBeers diamonds… but DeBeers upper management is wanted in America by the Dept. of Justice for violating America’s laws regarding monopolizing

    6. Aside from wartime tabulation machines, the commercial was also devoid of current IBM MBI technology, which, when marketed, will make consumers feel satisfactorily empowered from the perception of that the user is outwardly projecting wizard-like, magically willful, mental powers that will command machines at a whim

    7. The only mystery that remains, is knowing how will the situation be handled when after society has been blissfully enraptured from its commanding indulgence & the people’s inevitable awakening day comes, regarding the intrusive, electronic, telepathnological, pensive pillaging?

      I can foresee that this would present a problem for IBM & although I’m expensive, I can offer applicably effective solutions to their future, imminent, business crisis…. “NOT”!

    8. They’re not only “praised today for making shiny cars”, but also for their & other’s impressive mechanical & technological engineering from the WW II era. Humanity that involves itself with innovation & ingenuity are not held accountable for the political decisions & actions of others

      IBM could have been included within this category, but they knew that the machines they were designing were specifically for facilitating murder. Producing military hardware, although it kills, is different

    9. @Bicko123
      BMW & Mercedes producing engines & vehicles is not the same as producing & providing custom-designed, complex devices and specialized applications for the purpose of identifying, gathering, transporting & exterminating a specific race of people. Those are 2 entirely different things. Even for Nazi Germany, their military actions of simply conducting conventional warfare, regarding soldiers fighting & industry manufacturing hardware, has never been considered criminal

    10. Orgulloso de ser un IBMista por más de 20 años.. desde Venezuela

    11. Orgulloso de ser un IBMista por mpas de 20 años.. desde Venezuela

    12. @Bicko123 your right, you could also say that Germany should be now punished for what they did about 70 Years ago, if your looking for mistakes of a company you could count nearly every one…

    13. so long

    17. What will the next 100 years bring? Machines will rise against Man and our savior, John Connor, will send a Machine back to the past to save our future.

    18. THINK….From Thailand.

    19. lame, they didnt mention IBM sold machines used for jews counting in concentration camps. it is worth mention.

    20. I worked for IBM from 1972 thru 1975. I was a Program Support Rep & became class president of the first software class with females, becoming the class president. It was the best company I worked for. They cared about the well-being of their employees. Had a wonderful boss! Love took me away or I would hope I would have retired from there. Great video!

    21. IBM is the perfect company to work, I did it from may 1st 1977 thru february 9th 1995 and i´m very proud to be a part of this 100 years, Í,m still believe in IBM because I have all my savings in IBM shares. I really miss my friends, my managers, and the first Mexican IBM President and General Manager Mr. Rodrigo Guerra. Thanks IBM

    22. @addyukirou
