You might think the history of personal computing is way too complex to explain in under four minutes. But Canadian animators Superbrothers teamed up with singer-songwriter and all-around awesome dude Jim Guthrie to create this amazing music video that’ll prove you wrong. The story: two heavily-pixelated scientists have a dance battle that echoes the transition from primitive ’60s computers to today’s cloud computing. The video is after the jump.
