How the 1880 Census Led to the Invention of the Computer

As someone who isn't that good at maths (probably through lack of interest from a young age) but very interested in electronic computers, this was a great video and easy to understand

I love your videos man! Great work! Hope it doesn't take long for the next one. Cheers!

I think the true figure for the UK population is somewhere 67 million and 70 million given that the last 2021 census gave it as between 65-67 million people. I think it's amazing how computers first were used to automate weaving and then were used to perform "big data" applications like the census and building computational tables to help speed up calculations for science and engineering. And building simulations and control software to put humanity into space.
And now we use computers for TikTok gifting react cam streams. Oh dear :\

Oops I've been using bubble sort as my go-to just because I know how to write it lol 😳

GREAT! KEEP MAKING VIDEOS! Very informative. IDK if what you do or how you know this much but this information is needed. British computer scientist are always very good.

I'm surprised that not you as a Brit consider Colossus to be the first electronic computing machine.
