"The machine possesses supreme intelligence, a faultless memory, and a beautiful soul."
The Bell Data Communications Seminar was an annual seminar hosted by The Bell System. In 1963, Jim Henson created two films for the seminar starring a puppet robot: a 3-minute short film discussing the relationship between man and machine; and a 7-minute film featuring Jerry Juhl as "Charlie Magnetico."
The same robot previously was used in a sketch for a food fair appearance in Germany in 1961, and later appeared on The Mike Douglas Show in 1966.
