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.
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.

This video had to be at least 30 minutes longer to deserve its rather presumptuous title. Anyway, you have a clear voice and you sum things up well, I grant you that.
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)
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.

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.
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.
Computers have been a major part of the technology revolution and I can’t thank engineers enough for the continuation of enhanced technology that has done more positive things for people than negative
Computers of the past were large and bulky then throughout time became smaller and smaller. New PCs like the single board computers will become the new standard.
I was born in 1996, and I remember playing computer games on floppy disks as a kid. I also remember Internet Explorer and how long it took for the Internet to load. I miss that
Sharing correct information is also important, who created BASIC? What was the first programming language,? Which microprocessor did the Apple II have? Google those questions.
I really believe the first digital sceen computer was seen on a ufo.many years the Americans or so called goverments wanted to learn about the tech so badly. 1984 was a game changer for the world. Crazy how much time has changed since then with the technology they found in 1900s.
@@jackilynpyzocha662 No, it wasn't Margaret Hamilton but Steve Bales who saw that the 1201 and 1202 alarms were not a threat and therefore the descent could continue. CuriousMarc's channel is definitely worth checking out to learn all about the AGC.
Many is omitted in this very short video. As other have mention, such as Commodore, Atari, Tandy. And where is Microsoft? Only mentioned for MS-DOS? Heck they are declining right now, but were and still are a major force in computing. To ommit them in a video titled History of Computers is such a glaring ignorance.
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.

COBOL was not the first computer language. It is pre-dated by assembly language and FORTRAN among others.
BASIC was used at Dartmouth College, Thomas Kurtz and John Kemeny.
imagine your calculator being the size of a 2 refrigerators 😭
In 1975 I used a PDP12 which was refrigerator size.
Imagine it was reality back those days
