Built my first computer in 1977, while stationed in South Korea. 8080A processor, 750 kilohertz, 4k RAM, EEPROM card, tape interface card and 'video' card. It was all S100 buss, so that was fun. Used it during field exercises at Fort Hood...monitoring teletype signals. I upgraded to the Radio Shack 'Color Computer'..6809 processor let me run UNIX...

I'm glad to see Konrad Zuse and John Atanasoff get credit for their early roles in electronic computing but shocked to see Harvard credited for the Colossus which was designed and build by the British during WWII to break the German Lorentz encryption codes. There are a lot of errors throughout and much left out that needed to be included to live up to the video's title. This is always a problem when history is written by people that grew up during the PC era. Company's like CDC, Cray, Amdahl, and pioneering software products like UNIX, CPM, Multics are completely overlooked. Missing are gems like the fact that the first IBM operating system was developed by General Motors. It was called GMOS and developed for the IBM 701. The first computer I operated was an EMIDEC 1100. It preceded operating systems. Every program was written in 'machine code' and was 'boot strapped' into the computer from paper tape. The computer had two Williams tube central memories, basically phosphor coated TV like screens where up to 1024 dots could be written and rewritten on the screen. and "anded" together to provide some level of redundancy as the stored dots would decay if not rewritten within a 10 - 20 period. It also had an 8k drum for random access storage. All sorts were done using four 35mm sprocket feed magnetic tapes and could take hours and some large ones days while the operators were swapping tape reels like one armed paper hangers. We used that machine to manage a plastics manufacturing and research plant as well as the 7000 employee payroll, physical inventors and sales statistics as well as all the things necessary to handle business accounting along the way. Software used to be written by one or two very clever people in the early days. Then IBM came along and divided every program up into modules where dozens of programmers would write 'their' bit and eventually all the bits would be gathered together, compiled, tested, debugged, rewritten, recompiled, re-debugged, ad infinitum. They effectively invented linear programming which is slow, inefficient and required massive computers to work at all. A typical IBM computer consumed half the resources just to run the lame operating systems. New versions were released almost weekly it seemed and were always riddled with bugs. IBM's monopolistic business practices were later adopted by Microsoft with similar results. Huge profits for poor products. Thank goodness UNIX lingered on until Linux was born and now Android provides a versatile platform for so many sophisticated products. Sadly, most of the processing is for video processing to paint high resolution images on small screens, but the silicon is capable of far greater capabilities. With all the computer capability used in our vehicles these days I'm looking forward to being able to buy a Tesla robot to take care of me in my quickly arriving final years.

This video describes all the computers that existed from the 1930s to the present. In the 1930s, computers that can speed up calculations were developed, but they were destroyed during World War I. It is also a mystery that computers were developed for various wars. Existing computers were much larger than today, making them difficult for many people to use, but as they gradually decreased in size, commercial use began to be developed. I think it is a video that summarizes the detailed history of computers and their use.(10403 김세현)

Why would you show a 3.5" floppy as the first floppy disk when there's plenty of images of the actual first floppy format, the 8" disk? Come on! Your statement regarding the Altair using BASIC makes it sound like that was the default language, when in fact the Altair didn't come with ANY language. All programming had to be done through the front-panel switches. This made it possible to write a boot routine that loaded the BASIC language. Speaking of BASIC, Gates and Allen did not create BASIC. That honor goes to John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz and came out in 1964. Gates and Allen created a /version/ of BASIC that would work on the 8080 processor.

Kinda late but it would make me feel better if I wasn't the only one watching in 2024. Any others? I I V

I think if transistor size could go smaller and smaller after today's 3-4nm, we would end up tablets having very powerful CPU and GPUs competing with gaming PCs. They would be enough for everything. You would need only a HDMI cable to connect the bigger screens.

When the "Programma 101" was introduced you should credit the manufacturer (it was Olivetti, an italian company at that time leader of the european typewriter market). Also, it worths nothing say that it was revolutionary. Tell "the first desktop computer" does not explain well enough, it means that until that model every computer was connected with a cable to a much bigger "brain" normally in other rooms or underground. Producing the first desktop computer meant that people for the first time could take it from one place to an other(!) - it was like to invent the wheel. When it was introduced in a very important NY computer fair, journalists constantly looked on the back to find the cable - "where's the cable?!?" Steve Jobs had one at home, under a light spot, so every guest could look at it (actually HAD to look at hit). THIS, is the story and importance of the Programma 101.

You have an error in the video, in the picture of colossus, you put the Mark I, doesn't corresponde.

What use of computer in world

remember when neighbors cared about each other? remember when you could depend on your neighbor in time of need? remember when you could allow your kids to play at a neighbor's house without worry? not anymore, computers are what put the fear in people. social media caused it all, when the computers came to the world, so did the hate, there was a little hate in this country, but social media caused a lot of hate, my mom told me just before she died, that there was another name for 666 and it is w.w.w. we knew nothing about computers at that time. now people don`t feel safe in their own homes, remember worry free family outings? now you have to look over your shoulder everywhere.

1 minute into this and I'm seeing discrepancies. Colossus has a suggested year of 1944 whereas this set of computers, namely 'Colossus Mk1' was demonstrated 7 months before the Harvard Mk1 and demonstrated in 1943 with production in early 1944. I guess that the next 6 minutes is also going to probably be inaccurate too so not worthy of watching.

Today, my smartphone is becoming my personal computer. With the right apps, my smartphone can do math, spreadsheets, email, astronomy, etc. Making phone calls is one of its least important functions. As for the future, I think "computers" will just be speaker-microphones in your smart home or office like Amazon Echo or Google Nest are today. Instead of sitting at a desk to interact with a PC, you'll be able to ask these devices questions ("OK Google...") and get answers on any flat-panel TV in your area.

Your "history" should be removed and corrected because it is seriously flawed. #1 define what you mean by "computer" if the definition requires the ability to do string operations - ie use letters for text - then the Olivetti P101 is better called a programmable calculator not a computer. Next you screwed up and missed the entire Xerox PARC project which happened to have - the first laser printer 1971, first desktop integrated networked (eithernet 1973)computer 1973, first GUI 1975, First WYSiWYG bit mapped display 1974, first mouse. Both Steve Jobs and Bill Gates saw this and caused them to develop their Lisa/Macintosh and Windows 10 years later. You mention the Apple 1 1976 - Oops then when xerox had a full function GUI Alto PC 193 ?which was a kit that did not include essential elments like a powersupply, and the Altair which had no keyboard; but you didnt mention the first complete to the public Micro probably was the SOL. Redo it or trash it.
