点评:We love museums and my husband is a techie. A docent at the National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park in the UK, which we loved, told us we should visit CHM. So on a free day in SF area, we planned a full afternoon at the museum. Nice staff. Just OK docent guided tour.
They have a lot of stuff--various old computers from each stage of development of modern computers--that were static and unengaging. I did enjoy learning about the role of the computer for the census bureau, the origin of mp3, and a few others, but mostly it was look at a computer and read a card that told its significance. I know it is a challenge to make looking at a new IBM model exciting, but I remember the transition from cards and the introduction of PCs. They were exciting developments for users.
So we were disappointed in the experience. We did go through every exhibit and check all the information to make the most of it. There was an interesting film.
I do recommend Bletchley Park if you are in the UK. Much more engaging and interesting stories told by people working on restoring and operating historical computers.
翻译:我们喜欢博物馆,我丈夫是一名技术人员。我们很喜欢位于英国布莱奇利公园的国家计算机博物馆,一位讲解员告诉我们应该参观 CHM。所以在旧金山地区空闲的一天,我们计划在博物馆度过一个完整的下午。很好的员工。还好讲解员导游。
他们有很多东西——现代计算机发展各个阶段的各种旧计算机——都是静态的、没有吸引力的。我确实喜欢了解计算机在人口普查局中的作用、mp3 的起源以及其他一些知识,但主要是看计算机并阅读一张讲述其重要性的卡片。我知道让 IBM 新型号令人兴奋是一项挑战,但我记得从卡到 PC 的转变。对于用户来说,它们是令人兴奋的发展。
所以我们对这次经历感到失望。我们确实浏览了每个展览并检查了所有信息以充分利用它。有一部有趣的电影。
如果您在英国,我推荐布莱切利公园。致力于修复和操作历史计算机的人们讲述了更引人入胜、更有趣的故事。
