Computer History
A brief history of the computer I did for class. This is in no way accurate by any means. The assignment was to make a brief presentation on the history of something you cannot live without. I went to school for Graphic and Packaging design, not computer technology or anything of the like. The assignment was suppose to help your presentation skills. My professor enjoyed it, and asked if I could upload it to youtube. Music by Daft Punk.

[Recorded: 1996] Part 1 of 2 The Dawn of Electronic Computing 1935 1945 Computer pioneer Gordon Bell hosts this two-part program on the evolution of electronic computing from its pre-World War II origins through the development of the first commercial computers. His narration traces the development of the stored program computer architecture which remains the foundation of todays modern computers. In Part 1 The builders of the first five computer machines: the Bell Labs Model 1, the Zuse Z1-3, the Atanasoff-Berry Computer, the Harvard Mark 1 and the IBM SSEC tell their stories.

Before the 90′s personal computers coulden’t perform a fraction of what they do now,in like 21 years its evolved in giant steps.We now install terabytes on pc’s,and 4 terabytes holds more memory than the human brain can.In a few years were gonna build terminator robots.

@IeyasuTokugawa1 That’s cool. Yeah I never thought this would get more than 25 views.
November 4th, 2011 - 16:17
did you know?
your video is being used by my school for educational purposes. its for computer history about motherboards and stuff. maybe thats why you have so many views eh?

For anyone giving her a hard time that she left out this or that, give her a break. I have an associates in electronics and I could literally spend hours, if not days, explaining the history of computers (and just on the computers 1940′s to today). Such things as why a transistor is a switch, what kind of transistors are needed for a digital circuit, how TTL logic led to microcontrollers, how digital information is recorded on media, etc.

@lipunkscene Babbage kept altering what he created, never actually finished it.
November 4th, 2011 - 17:26
This fucking sucked

Apple rules! (I’m watching this on my macbook pro)
November 4th, 2011 - 18:48
You didn´t talked about the apple macintosh.

One major omission: Baby: It was the first machine that had all the components now classically regarded as characteristic of the basic computer. Most importantly it was the first computer that could store not only data but also any (short!) user program in electronic memory and process it at electronic speed.
November 4th, 2011 - 19:56
hmmmm, where’s the Commodore 64? I mean it was only the best selling personal computer of all time, still to this day…
November 4th, 2011 - 20:23
@lipunkscene In the same way Apple copied Xerox PARC, right?
November 4th, 2011 - 20:57
@lipunkscene Ummmm…. Yea, pay twice as much so that you can burn CDs without a program and drag and drop… Congratz?

@morrowindarcherman i can see how that makes sense but look the mac os has a menu bar on the top and in windows its on the bottom and mac os x has always had a dock at the bottom and in windows 7 its at the top
so what did bill do make it more complicated and harder to understand and less intuative
November 4th, 2011 - 21:43
@846286425 Ah, we return to the easier argument, a valid one I suppose, and Bill Gates didn’t copy it, he improved upon it. But that’s my opinion, you’ve stated yours, and since this is going no where lets just agree to respect each others opinions.
November 4th, 2011 - 22:16
@morrowindarcherman i didnt say that i mean that apple made the personal computer avalible for the world
because ibm were to complicated and macintoshes were easier
and besides bill gates copied the macintoshes os to make windows 95 and now windoes is on almost very computer so apple really did make the personal computer possible
November 4th, 2011 - 22:16
@nintenandryan Yes, I believe you did, in fact the entire album has that word in it, I guess someone couldn’t be bothered to check the images they where getting from Google.
November 4th, 2011 - 23:06
@846286425 I do do believe IBM made the first personal computer, in fact I’d bet several large sums of money on it. Anyone who says anything different is an idiot. Just like anyone who isn’t willing to take the quarter second it takes to spell out the word “you”

@chan00chap psh its 2011 i can watch this video on my toaster.
November 5th, 2011 - 00:57
my computer’s i5 Quad Core is probably more powerful than the first 5 computers invented.
November 5th, 2011 - 01:35
This is completely boring.
November 5th, 2011 - 02:00
Lmao man
November 5th, 2011 - 02:31
Toilette re’s will 4ever be the greatest invention and contribution to itself.

@neverrime
i use a computer to access the internet, you seem to get on by counting to 10 on your fingers,
November 5th, 2011 - 02:59
@chan00chap Yes, what do you use? Your toes?
November 5th, 2011 - 03:20
@neverrime
can you surf the internet with your fingers?
November 5th, 2011 - 03:24
@chan00chap No, but what do you want to say? I can count to 10 with my fingers and it’s still enough for all needs a man can have.
November 5th, 2011 - 03:44
@neverrime
u watched this video on your fingers?
November 5th, 2011 - 04:39
from humongous cabinets into a simple and very thin mac

When did they start putting porn on computers?
November 5th, 2011 - 05:40

@neverrime
Quite right. Computers are a tool, not a replacement for good ole fashioned logic. What computers do however, is that they enable boring, repetitive, and otherwise time wasting tasks to be done in seconds.
Make no mistake, computers are a not a necessity, but they are a darn useful tool. The abacus was the “computer” of it’s day, so was the calculator, and now the computer is where it is at. Question is, where shall it go next?
November 5th, 2011 - 06:54
@MQnoob Why use computers. I still count with my fingers and I get by ok.
November 5th, 2011 - 07:10
i was not able to catch up what the authors says….it was admiral grace hopper…. un lang pla…ang hirpa kasi ng english nila eh………super like it anyway
November 5th, 2011 - 07:37
@kinmanyuen That woman is Admiral Grace Hopper, who is credited with the invention of COBOL programming language — still used in some places today.
November 5th, 2011 - 08:23
that navy woman talking about mark1 is epic
November 5th, 2011 - 08:50
@MQnoob Qubits xD!
November 5th, 2011 - 09:50
thanks to this video

I’ve got the answer for my I.C.T. assignment
November 5th, 2011 - 10:24
A brilliant and nice shoot of video
November 5th, 2011 - 11:14
An interesting sci-fi concept would be imagine in the future all animals were allowed become cyborgs as humans were all vegeterians because they only needed electrical energy for there cyborg bodies yet microbes also become cyborgs yet the microbes attempt to destroy human cyborgs electircal systems so the cyborg microbes r put inside a virtual computer world to live as humans and feel like the leaders and yet do not know the truth as they are kept here to stop there rise and in this, we r them!

I find it very cool that scientists – unlike people usually appearing in old footage – have all that brilliant look in their eyes that goes beyond time.
November 5th, 2011 - 11:49
can you believe that todays cellphones have more proccesing power than all the computers combined in the 60′ ……. just think about it!
