Early Computing: Crash Course Computer Science #1

Hello, world! Welcome to Crash Course Computer Science! So today, we’re going to take a look at computing’s origins, because even though our digital computers are relatively new, the need for computation is not. Since the start of civilization itself, humans have had an increasing need for special devices to help manage laborious tasks, and as the scale of society continued to grow, these computational devices began to play a crucial role in amplifying our mental abilities. From the abacus and astrolabe to the difference engine and tabulating machine, we’ve come a long way to satisfying this increasing need, and in the process completely transformed commerce, government, and daily life.

    Today's computer technology relies heavily on physical wiring and electricity. But we have begun researching other ways to "run" computers without depending on electricity. One branch of that research involves studying living cells and how they encode "data" in their nucleus and use an assortment of biological components to run their "programs" such as cell movement, phagocytosis, etc. My guess is that in the far future, computers will be biological in that it will not depend on electricity to run itself. Instead, it'll use cellular functions like cell respiration or photosynthesis to generate (biological) energy.

    Crash course keeps getting better and better! I love the differing text backgrounds used, very creative and eye catching. It's an improvement from past series that only ever used two backgrounds for text. Awesome job, and awesome series so far.

    Quick tidbit: Hollerith's influence is so far-reaching that in some areas of Brazil (Most notably the country's largest city, São Paulo) paychecks are still called "holerite" (from the local pronunciation of Hollerith's name), because there, where Brazilian industry began in earnest, paychecks (or rather the discrimination of hours worked, overtime, deductions etc. that came with it) were processed in Hollerith-branded machines (and, if I'm not mistaken, printed in Hollerith-branded cards).

    PLEASE CONTINUE THIS! While jobs that revolve around science and technology leave room for a lot of creative thinking, young people tend to run the other direction because of all the 'technical talk' involved. However, these creative thinkers in these fields are exactly what the world needs right now, so having someone explain these concepts in interesting ways is extremely important.

    I'm Indian and my grandfather had an old rotary phone in the 90s because the electronics market hadn't boomed here yet and we had to dial the numbers - literally by rotating the dial. To think that we, worldwide, still use that near identical flimsy cable that barely sent voice to power our super fast internet. (Obviously the telephone server has upgraded). I now have a masters degree in computer science and probably know all that they will cover, but I will still watch it because it blows my mind every time I try to wrap my head around the awesomeness of the concept. We are destined to go very far, my friends, and computing is our golden ticket into the chocolate factory.
