Yes, but i bet the phone would still be offloading the actual work on to a remote internet server and then just displaying the returned result. The same way the Amazon echo works.
@@jockwalker24 I'm of an age where I was one of the first generations to grow up with computers as a part of everyday life. I couldn't imagine it otherwise.
from back when britain was great, top quality engineering and reliable service at the lowest cost to the customer, since privatisation it's get as much money from the customer and run the network to destruction, britain is being run into the ground
Just think if all those crappy diesel locomotives that BR was forced to buy from British manufacturers. As soon ad they could, the British railway companies bought from foreign manufacturers in order to get reliable locomotives.
The good old days , not like the modern hi vizy , safety obsessed workplace where you are under constant surveillance.The millenials will never know how good we had it.
@@cjmillsnun I'm pretty sure that if you drill down and look at modern day statistics, just as many accidents (if not more) occur in the modern workplace with all the H&S nonsense. The fact of the matter is people just got on with things, and it's amazing how in less than 50 years that can change so dramatically.

1973 - "Even the most powerful computers would take several thousand years to find the solution"
2020 - "I think there's a phone app for that"

I was going to make a similar comment, the stats would be reversed today I think.

The music is hilarious! As is the fashion @ 5:31. The beards seem to have made a comeback though!
Unfortunately, privatisation made this of historic interest only.
Dig that Moog synth!
Power Links [1973] Electricity Council Film - substations and power lines
this is a 70' decade video, a "progressive" soundtrack, short editing, substantially an "ad" rather than a documentary.
Love to know who did the music.. (confession.. music.enginner and did coporate documentatires in 1980's)
most people when it was made did not want the technical detail
To duplicate previous comments... "several thousand years.." lol
i need to know who did this sound track. NEEED!!!
Hi, it appears to be specially composed music for this film. The credit at 16:47 says: 'Music - John Lewis'.
What would the sound track be circa 2023++ ?
Sounds like the Man Alive themes keyboard. Or Mountain, Nantucket Sleighride.
Mississippi Queen

Hmm, supply to the customer "at the lowest possible price" unlike today where it's "at the highest price we can get away with"
