One of the most impressive computer systems ever was the vacuum tube based behemoth AN/FSQ-7, which was the heart of the 'Semi Automatic Ground Environment'. Machines of this type were children of the Cold War and had a tremendous effect not only on this episode in politics but also generated a vast amount of spin-offs which still shape our world.
