You’re only going to see considerably more women in STEM subjects when men don’t really do that stuff much anymore. For whatever reason, if that ever happens. Chatting with my roommate just now, he stated that women are already well represented in STEM subjects. He wants to know why women are not more prominent in menial, dangerous, or disagreeable jobs, like garbage collection.

It can be hard for people who've grown up with computers to understand what a learning curve there was to using even something this simple, but you have to keep in mind that this kind of computer was like nothing that had ever existed before. I certainly never had a teacher this calm and thorough; the first computer teacher I ever had treated us like we were idiots because we didn't intuitively understand it; she had an aggravating tendency to show us something and then say, "All right, what do you think happens next?" before she'd actually, you know, *explained* it. The class wound up one giant case of, "Well, how the hell would I know, when you haven't told me yet?" Yeah, it's obvious now, but at the time it was completely alien technology. The average person had zero comparable experience or context to draw from.

Macintosh cared about the small things. Or the things that on face value SEEM small but turn out to be the core value of their approach to an intuitive and easy UI. This hasn't changed for 39 years.

The communication of said features in a concise and pleasing manner is also a hallmark of the Apple approach to product and software design.

A person from 40 years ago could easily recognize how to run a mac today. Amazing. To think that 40 years before this video a computer was a room full of tubes.

hey thanks! this is a great video, love the audio on this version.

thanks I appreciate it .. should've used a stronger de esser effect it in the first place.

I love the new version. Good work!

Previous computer displays were green dot matrix text against a black background. Macs blew everyone's mind with letter-quality text.

Love how she uses an example of being home and using the computer while listening to the “stereo” 😊

@@ianinkster2261i think most people use the phrase "speaker" now. i typically think of really big stereo systems and not smaller bluetooth speakers when thinking of "stereos." i think the smaller speakers are more common than stereos now.

Growing up I always had some teachers that I enjoyed listening to more than others, some of their voices would put my head in a very relaxed place and very tuned in. Seeing this video makes me wonder if those teachers had unintentional ASMR voices haha

It’s so interesting every detail she had to explain back then that is now just information we take as a given like “the icon color is highlighted so mac knows that you want to do something with it”

Such a really straightfoward explanation that we could do with these days. An excellent explanation for laypeople.

I love hearing your commentary before every video. I miss it. You sitting in your dimly lit room on your comfy bed introducing the experience you're sharing with us! Vids like this are greata too

Another gem to add to my 3/4 speed ASMR playlist! Her voice somehow reminds me of the woman speaking on Little Fluffy Clouds.

Better off finding a sedate documentary with actual information about history or something, instead of fetishizing a physical sensation.

The way that that word processor FLOODED my brain with memories of elementary school in the computer lab... By then it was the early 90's, and things looked a little different, but i remember changing things to bold and outline text, typing things and playing with the typography....printing little poems out on the old dot matrix printers. I consider myself very lucky to have been alive to see that.

No "Uh's", "Um's", "I mean's", or up-speaking. Refreshing to listen to old interviews and the way people used to speak.

The ASMR is strong with this one!

Wow. Fantastic. I also realized that I could not describe using this computer as well as she did. It’s so intuitive now, there’s no easy description that comes to mind. If anything, I would probably overexplain everything. Just like...I’m doing...right...now.

It's so beautiful the way she talks, so polite.

If you're looking for the source, it's an episode from The Computer Chronicles. They have a KZread channel with all their episodes from 1981 - 2002. Their channel is "The Computer Chronicles".

This should be prescribed to every senior citizen who cannot use computer yet but wants to learn.

One of the best ASMR videos I've 'heard'. Literally falling asleep on my porch... except that it's morning. And i should be waking up instead 😂

Such a calm, peaceful time!

Crazy that you could even adjust time between clicks back then , that’s really cool

I was born in 83 and grew up with computers, my step father was a computer engineer. He would download these floppy disk games to me. Skifree among others. Loved my childhood 😊

​@@MaxOakland Right? My first Computer was in fact a used Commodore C128 and after that came a long time nothing apart from a GameBoy and Super Nintendo. My first 'real' experience with a computer after the C128 was then with Win 3.1 shortly followed by Win 95. But yes, those too were magical times. I still remember the sense of wonder and curiosity... "A graphical user interface? Easy to handle? Unbelievable. This is incredible" Those were my thoughts back then

I love love love how shes introducing things that we now just know already as a new concept its amazing

1984. What a year

This is so relaxing

Notice how clear and easy to follow her instructions are. Compare that to today's instructors on YT showing you how to use a modern program.

How about Google's instructions for how to set up various aspects of their programs? Combine it with their endless maze to get customer service/support, and it feels like you have to be an MIT engineer to understand their stuff.

I was 3 yrs. old when this woman, who was at the top of her field, demonstrated this computer, which was the top of technology, and today I watch it on a phone that's more powerful than all of the computers from that time combined... Ok then..

While I was a bit too young to remember this era of computers (Think I was 2 when this show aired), it always makes me feel like a kid when I watch this. It's been floating around KZread for long time and I've spent many hours watching it. Love every moment of her presentation.

It's simultaneously both fascinating that people were so unaware of how computers worked that she had to used the the words "copy" and "paste" like they were arcane technical terms, AND that the basics of computer interfaces such as icons and dragging and dropping have remained so unchained since that time.
