This is an excellent TV rendition of what could be an early Isaac Asimov short story.
It has one main plot idea - man and machine and how the differences can blur.
There is no time to develop the plot to any great extent, Serling simply raises the idea of how man and machine can interact and the consequences that might follow. Never the less it's a thought provoking episode as most TZ episodes are.
I am working my way through Twighlight Zone episodes (series 1) and this episode (#7) is remarkable for an impressive new opening montage sequence that stands up to anything you could expect to see today. Maybe not so much in the technical sense but certainly in style and impact.
Oh, and Jean Marsh is gorgeous!
