Human beings, with their ridiculous "emotions" and their limited processing power, are fundamentally ill-equipped for a task as complex as finding a romantic partner. Only a mighty computer - like the Honeywell 200 - with its infallible logic and ability to cope with dozens of variables, is up to the job.
Tomorrow's World is in Manhattan, where some 2000 invited guests are attending a party organised by the computer dating service TACT. TACT - which stands for Technical Automated Compatibility Testing - is the brainchild of Bob Ross, a computer programmer at IBM, and accountant Lewis Altfest. It uses computers to process data from questionnaires devised by clinical psychologist Dr. Salvatore V. Didato, in order to match people across three levels of compatibility: "socio-cultural"; "opinions and values" and "psychological".
With a computer in charge, those in attendance are all but guaranteed to find true love.
Originally broadcast 16 November, 1966.
