The Internet and Computing: Crash Course History of Science #43
We’ve talked a lot about advances in biotech. But none of those could have happened without advances in computing. It’s time to get back to data and explore the unlikely birth, strange life, and potential futures of the Internet. In this episode of Crash Course History of Science, Hank sits down to talk about how computers have changed, where they're going, and how the internet fits into all of this.

I love that they point out that one of the key things about science is that "We don't know, we'll find out."
Will I ever stop loving and watching Crashcourse? I DON'T KNOW! WE'LL FIND OUT!!

"i dont know we'll find out" almost feel like that couldve been part of the title for this wonderful video
Not only do I love the phrase itself, I love how Hank's eyes light up and how he says in a different, dramatic way every time. The whispered "I don't know" was the best!

summary of this weeks video *"I don't know.....We'll find out!"*
Crazy how much life changes within a matter of years. I'm so excited and yet terrified to see the future play out
I really want to see a Crash Course Earth Science or separate geology, oceanography, meteorology course. I'll host them if you need me to ;)

Seconded. I would so love to watch an enthused geologist raving about the lithosphere, et al.
I heard "next time we'll wrap up..." and thought "but this series has been sooooo short... Then I look down and see "#43" and think "wow... that happened fast! I wonder what we will get next??"
2:03 That’s incredible.
Green brothers are my favorite anchors. You doing a great job! Love every episode.

Folders aren't necessarily parts of GUIs, you can quit easily have them in the CLI

I get your point, but to be really really pedantic, "folders" are UI metaphors, while the ones we have in CLI are called "directories". I mean the command cd means change directory, and dir means directory. But since computers are evolving all the time, the word "directory" might be forgotten and we will increasingly use the word "folder" more.

@@pahlavi5312 I will never forget "directories"!! lol But yeah, real talk... there is probably going to come a point where nobody using a computer has ever called it a directory, just like how we are fast approaching the point where nobody pressing the "save" button knows why it looks like that without learning it from something like scishow history of science... Now I feel really old...

Great episode!
When this series "ends," meaning you have summarized all past discoveries, I do hope you continue to check in and update us on the historic STEM advancements that still happen each year.
very interesting , thank you

"I dont know. We'll find out." Basically the mantra of this series
I'd love to see a series on Ecology and library/information science
History of computing, or future? Fun episode.
Thank you! 🤖❤️
I don't know... we'll find out! - me whenever I'm not sure about my test answer
Get Hank a more stable desk, every time he moves his hands the desk wobbles!
Educational!
The "troll educational video shows" hit my soul. I think watching every episode of crash course should become a national standard. Granting every single American a powerful foundation of Knowledge within a short time spand. All the episodes together is like 15 (24h) days. With people who are dedicated this means it can be logically viewed in a spand of a couple months. Rather than spending 4 years wasting time in highschool, imagine 4 months of crash course. I be a different person with 3 years extra.
Well done.
PLEASE DO MORE ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY VIDEOS 💓💓💓💓 any biology really sincerely a nursing student
So excited about you doing an episode on blockchain and cryptos. I've been interested in this topic for years, and there are so many misconceptions about it. It's great that you'll make an educational video on this matter.

*One drawback of the blinding rate of advancement in computer science is that, since everyone relies on computers now, we are constantly making large chunks of our collective skillsets become obsolete and be in constant need of replacement. In the professions, for example, this often means there is a divide between young people with advanced computer skills (they haven't been around long enough to fall behind yet) but not enough experience to apply them properly, and older people with rich experience but inadequate computer skills (and often managerial responsibilities that keep them from effectively passing on knowledge to the next generation).* *The chaos of a constantly-changing environment undermines the theoretically possible efficiencies of that environment.*
*Thanks Hank for "hey Google", my google assailant got trigger* 😂😂😂
Troll educational shows; darn you found me!:) thanks!
@ 0:25 talking about invention of transistors and showing a board, with all sorts of components, but almost no transistors what so ever (I see resistors and capacitors for the most part).
*It's a series of tubes!*
The scientific article paywalls are confusing. Like in physics the same paper will be behind a paywall on a journal's website and totally free on the arxiv.
Also where can I find Hank’s pin badge

Xerox also brought together existing technologies. Stanford Research Institute (SRI) which developed "windows, hypertext, graphics, efficient navigation and command input, video conferencing, the computer mouse, word processing, dynamic file linking, revision control, and a collaborative real-time editor (collaborative work)" {Wikipedia}. Douglas Engelbart's "Mother of All Demos" (available on youTube) demonstrated this technology. Several people who worked at SRI left to work for... Xerox PARC. Ethernet was "inspired" by ALOHAnet developed for DARPA, which Robert Metcalfe had studied and made part of his doctoral thesis at Harvard while working at... Xerox PARC. Laser Printers were a modified version of the electrophotography printer which the inventor Carlton Chestor sold to the Haloid Company, which was later became... Xerox.
We went from mainframe to personal pc and client/server. We are at cloud computing. How far are we from moving to rather dumb consoles that access servers or even mainframes again for everything requiring any real resources? We are already almost dependent on our smartphone. What if the smartphone docks/syncs to the TV/VR/your eyes and is the access client for all of the above? Its only job is to manage the data coming in from servers doing all the real computing and presenting it to us through another screen. You take it to work, and it immediately connects to the work servers and you start your work day. It is the key to your car, your rail pass, and your flight ticket. Your bank needs your card/code and your phone to be present to authenticate you. It is your one device, everything else is just so you interact with it better. As long as you have it, you have the new gaming console, a gaming pc, a video editing machine, a smart home, a personal doctor, a financial advisor, an accountant, a secretary, and a chauffer. We are already partway there. I have four two-factor security apps and a password manager, one of the two-factor apps is only for work and I would be unable to do any work besides email or bare bones documentation without it. My dad unlocks and starts his car with his smartphone, and it is how he gets data from his insulin pump. My phone is my best tool to move through an airport or the subway with any speed. I've heard younger friends/coworkers talking about losing their phone like being disconnected from reality. What if it could be even more than it is now?
Widout internet i wouldnt have been able to watch this video 😅
In short: we don’t know, we’ll find out!
Hello Hank, when does the new show with your brother start? Green Brothers ftw
Do a history of science episode with Sir. William Osler
ya made my google confused
Smaller chips does mean less resource consumption/toxic waste, at least.
Was that a Wu-Tang Clan reference?!
Hypothesis-free science is terrifying. If you have enough data and look for enough connections, you *will* find connections, purely by chance.

Oh no next episode is the end of this series i am so sad thought bubble cheer me up
I love that we're getting close to the apocalypse
It's funny watching this now, years later, and able to say yes we indeed did find out. Crypto was a fad ❤

There is a quantum computing library for Python. You can connect either to a virtual machine that simulates quantum computing or to an actual quantum computer. Surprisingly, there even seem to be ones that are free to use, though you're gonna have to wait a while before you're granted access for a window of time.
This is freaking me out..I really don't wanna find out.
Hank finally hit puberty.
Without the Internet I could not watch crash course.
Have I given over responsibility for knowing what time it is to AI? Not in the least. I still rely on my own ability to grade contextual clues about the time. AI clocks hold little more authority in my view than do wristwatches (a little, but not that much). The reason is that AI - and wristwatches - may be many orders of magnitude better than me at measuring time, but they don't care what time it is. I do.
I LOVE CRISPR!!!!

I don't think there would be any reasonable way this would occur, since every single modern person holds a cell phone with them at all times, what use would something inside your own body be? also, smart watches are attached to your body and can already measure vitals from outside your body, so what purpose would their be? I can understand a smaller number of people doing this, but not everyone.

4:36, connecting the U.S. government's investment in information exchange to 4chan (which used to idolize Ron Paul to large degree) isn't necessarily ironic. The spirit of 1776 lives on in the internet and innovative nerds.

Your point about quantum computers and cryptography is a bit misleading. The difference between classical and quantum computers in that context is not just one of power and speed. There is some stuff that quantum computers can do that simply has no equivalent in classical computing.
