Film that starts out burbling too much scientific mumbo jumbo about electronics, then becomes a truly wonderful collection of scenes celebrating what new technologies that have been developed from "The Radiant Spectrum", whatever that is. Anyways, the different parts just have scene after scene of marvellous stuff, phone cords being tested, families watching tv, kids having birthdays, etc. If you can get past the scientific stuff, this film does have some truly wonderful shots.
