He proceeds to enter his password as 12345... (at 1:21)
The more things change the more they stay the same
At the end of the video, there's a software transmission!
I downloaded the audio and converted it to .wav. Made it mono, extracted the end, and saved as unsigned 8bits PCM. Now trying to figure out what the hell to do with it! Any pointers appreciated :)
"It's very simple really"

plugs around various cables, switches on things, logs on, starts rotating dial and anxiously looks at camera

"So it's a very simple connection to make"

"Extremely simple"

It’s like your first day of calculus and the instructor talking about the final exam saying, yes it’s extremely simple. Yes, of course, after you learn everything and do it daily, yes, then it’s simple.

This exemplifies why some technologists failed. They’re “simple” once you get the pattern down, but it’s hard for anyone unfamiliar.

Just push this button here :)

I actually spent some time yesterday pushing buttons and sending emails, in a language that's as old as the video.

Funny. I started at UCI in 1985 where they gave every student an email. 36 years later, the same exact email address still works. In fact, I think 1984 was one of the first years that email addresses standardized on the "natural" format everyone sees and uses today. We used the MH mail system that was developed at RAND and later adopted as an open source project there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MH_Message_Handling_System
I see "1234" was a popular password in 1984 as well.
Hey! That’s the password on my luggage
11111 was the password used for prince Philips demo account that got hacked in the infamous incident.

Interesting that he wasn't dialing the 618 short code we had - though Oftel did at some stage ake us stop using that.

I actually used to use to dial the x.25 service to login from home using a portable terminal - no screen just paper.

I just finished reading the book "The Dream Machine: J.C.R. Licklider and the Revolution That Made Computing Personal". Very highly recommended for anyone interested in the early days of computing and the internet and the people that helped make it happen.
Another good book is 'The Friendly Orange Glow: The Untold Story of the PLATO System and the Dawn of Cyberculture' by Brian Dear.

It dates (1960s, 1970s) even before the Licklider book I think. Read the blurb, sounds amazing the things they had back then.

"E" mail? that will never take off. Next you'll be making currency out of just electricity.
It's easy to romanticise the early days of the internet but seeing this brought a tinge of depression.
