A lot of the stuff is backwards from normal these days though. And 100v rails, geez. I wouldn't recommend this film to anyone as a primer, it's too confusing, probably because of the sorts of terrible transistors they had back then, why they did things that way.
@@timkowalski2166 QC use sine waves in my own description. Oscillators. Sine waves obey set operations, even with integer factorization. So like sin(5x) AND sin(7x) could be represented as a superposition of (or product of ) both 5 and 7 waves, which are really states. Representing integers as sine wave states in a special computer architecture has computational advantages. A patent in working on just "published" (not yet granted) but I still need to build a prototype if you have interests to collaborate. I'm looking for funding and find creative inspiration through these nostalgic videos of fundamental computer building blocks.
@@timkowalski2166 They still obey Von Neumann's Law and Boolean truth table, so there's no reason why quantum processor can't understand the binary inputs of a classic computer. Obviously they use 1s and 0s especially in form of either electrons or photons.
@@Dr_Mario2007 Cool, I thought they were some kind of computer that worked on a more advanced level. What makes them different from regulator computers?
How many billions of transistors are in the most recent CPUs? The size of a thumbnail. Moore's Law is amazing to consider. What a trip. Thank you for giving us these peeks into the past.
Very well explained, very clear, so I strongly recommend anybody who wants to learn about electronics to see old tutorials, books and magazines, these apparently obsolete materials bring us some details and principles that are hard to find on current ones...
It's crazy to think that computers have gotten quite advanced ever since it was last filmed, and almost to Quantum Computation Era. They now carry ridiculous amounts of transistors on-die nowadays compared to count of triode tubes and early transistors, which for those ancient computers, they carried 10,000s of those switching elements, nowadays there's several hundred billions transistors on a powerful superscalar out-of-order graphics processor now, which is crazy, imagine shrinking the entire supercomputer into a small dice of Silicon.
I get the need (sadly) for your copy protection ticker at the bottom of the screen. But in this case it covers up the copyright date - and it would be interesting, given the speed of change in Computing, to know this. What was the copyright date in this film please?
So this is why it is called a solid state LOGIC circuit. Why didnt u friggin say so....i could have went to Disneyland in summer 1956 instead of making dad teach drivers aid for the summer to afford buying us fallout shelter food kits.
this film from 60 years ago explained logic circuits better than my college professor did in 2020

yeah people were smarter 60 years ago
Computer engineer here, working on quantum. I always come back here to freshen up. Thank you for sharing these gems.
If normal computers are based on true/false, how does a quantum computer work?

Fantasticly clear explanation.i love old electronics tutorial
I'm amazed how much computers have change over the years.

Had same taught in BEE, Navy "Great Lakes" NTC school 1977.
Thanks periscope 🙌, that's the basic reason you tube was invented.
Things were so much simpler. Now we're trying to get photons to do as we say rather than what we think.

Ok, now I want to see the film that came before this one.
Are the other films in this series available?
Now, we carry greater than ENIAC in our pockets!
Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤
Another great video P.F. 👍🏽😎👍🏽

We really went to the moon using this technology?
The name spell it back wards.
