    Love this old school 1984 demonstration of an early macintosh computer. Edited audio, looped it so it's longer. Couldn't find the original source anymore - lucky I had this one on my hard drive.

    This woman is a legend in computing. I once got to work with another one of the original programmers/designers. This small team invented the mouse, the idea of icons, the idea of them existing spatially on a screen…so many things that just “feel natural” today when we use computers, were thought out and created by a small group. I didn’t get ASMR from this but that’s because I was so riveted by the history!

      Doug Englebart's 'Mother of All Demos' happened when Steve Jobs was a 13 year old boy. Years before he ever met Woz. Years before Apple Computer ever existed. Let alone before their Mac or Lisa teams were ever formed.

      I guess. If a chick really wants to go into science, math, technology and/or engineering, she will, regardless of anyone else of the same sex having done so. I would think that who inspires someone to go into a certain field may have something to do with their gender at times, but to be quite frank, there is really only a passing interest in the gender of someone that a person TRULY admires.

      But on some level, it DOES come down to how men and women are naturally “hard wired”. 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. I thought the answer to this was/is so obvious that it’s kind of a humorous sort of deal, regarding all things feminism.

    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. You can see the vestigial markers from literally every feature she described and demonstrated in this video still alive today in mac software. The communication of said features in a concise and pleasing manner is also a hallmark of the Apple approach to product and software design. Its nice to see the continuity of a successful design language be propagated and maintained over several decades.

    This is such a contrast to the loud, fast, anxiety inducing videos of our modern era. Things were a lot more slow and chilled back then.

    Afaik this lady designed the iconography of the first Mac's, and hence defined the GUI as we know it. She's part of computing history.

    You can tell that she really lives for her Mac. The way she is looking at it is so adorable, like she's its proud mom. And the way she is talking about it and explaining it, so full of enthusiasm. What an amazing woman and great role model!
