  1. 15:05 yes they used pen and paper but they also used mechanical calculators that had been around for 200 years at that point. Electronic computers were faster, obviously, but an office of people using mechanical calculators and working together to calculate many problems at once or big one together was quite fast too. Also women were hired for these jobs because they by law should be payed less and it was seen as unmanly to work a secretary style job. It's also why majority of the foundations and early programming languages that modern programming languages still use as foundations were invented by women. Curiously you fail to mention these great women despite their history often being forgotten and erased due to the active elimination and push to get women out of IT in the 80's till today
