History of computers - "Past to Present & Beyond"

[zombiecake1]

thumbs up if you are watching this on a computer

[Leocomputerssociety]

I think the title is misleading it misses most of the key people in the computer industry and the real computer innovations most of which were in Great Britain. it fails to mention any of the British computing key people. Charles Babbage who introduced the concept of the programmable computer in the 1800s. The wartime brilliant people at Bletchley Park and most of all LEO 1 - the World's first commercial computer (operational 17 November 1951) and the brilliant people at J Lyons that built it.

u r totally right about the lenovo thing lenovo used ibm's ideas

[eb0oy]

at 1:41 i want to play DOTA in that computer :))))

All info about prices and CPU MHz speed are inacurate. IBM 5150 is not from Year 1984, It is from 1981, CPU speed was 4.77MHz... Apple I cost 666.66$... and many more. This is history of computers in one very wrong info.

[RobertC19850209]

actually the first computer by it's very definition is over 2000 years old, the german computer you are referring to may be the first electric computer however, which is what 99% of people call computers

[intrptr]

@RobertC19850209 Chinese abacus (x) thousand years old? Or knots on strings?

[RobertC19850209]

@intrptr yeah, sort of like that

[Goldenfury12]

Omg the nazi's were the the first to have computers!!!! X{

[cricket9751]

FIRST!!!!

[intrptr]

Shift to the left, shift to the right . Pop up,push down, Byte Byte Byte! You left out a lot of shit man. 1st ever cumpooter was the programmable loom in 1400's... They used Punch cards (IBM copied that) to do automatic loom operation thus obsoleting workers who rioted, destroying the factory and burning down the town. What about the ILLIAC and INNIAC ( WWII ) bomb plot trajectory and number crunchers...phone booth sized modules filled with vacuum tubes each about 4k of mem. Or the, never mind.

[voraciousbear]

@intrptr wrong and learn english and i mean punched cards were not made in the 1400s

they didnt have elecctricity in the 1400s

[intrptr]

@voraciousbear Duh about electricity. Persians had 4-6V cells made from copper tubes and lemon juice for ? so...

And the punch cards for looms worked on holes that automatic looms used to stitch "preprogrammed" patterns.

Organs used rolls of paper with holes to play preprogrammed music. Like the Harpsicord. IBM copied the idea in our time. The cards for looms back then looked identical to modern punch cards.

Apple 1 $700!!!!?????!!??

4 Bits = 1 Nibble 2 Nibble = 1 Byte 1024 bytes = 1 Kilobyte (Kb) 1024 Kilobyte = 1 Megabyte (Mb) 1024 Megabyte = 1 Gigabyte (GB) 1024 Gigabyte = 1 Tera byte (Tb) 1024 Terabyte = 1 Petabyte (Pb) 1024 Petabyte = 1 Exabyte (Eb) 1024 Exabyte = 1 Zettabyte (Zb) 1024 Zettabyte = 1 Yottabyte (Yb) So next time when you buy memory product check how much you are loosing per Mb

[ecchibanzaii]

@S200773 A lot of "bit" where it should be "Byte" in your comment.

[S200773]

@ecchibanzaii i don't understand what u mean.

[ecchibanzaii]

@S200773 Where you said TeraByte you used "Tb" which actually means Terabit.

b=bit and B=Byte

[liquidmetaltech]

fucking retarded troll vid. hope you eat shit and die. homo.

[SuperSnowybear]

Hate to nit-pic, but on this occasion I will. You might need to check your facts.

1) Apple 1 sold for $666.66

2) Apple ][ could max out at 64k

3) Original Mac was 128k, then fat mac at 512k, then mac plus at 1mb, etc... The speed was just under 8Mhz.

4) IBM PC 5150, was released in 1981, had 16k standard, 64k max on Motherboard, running at 4.77Mhz. Expansion could take it up in 64k chunks, but later addons increased this. Oh yes it also had tape interface and 5 slots.

Just a nit-pic...

[lampini]

1:40 thats rediculous apples first computer I wonder what it can do

[pinjimandvakito]

@lampini stuff

[DaBossk]

hackintosh

[78Boza]

@DaBossk macintosh not hackintosh

[vrpcworld]

@DaBossk Spam? Exactly is this spam?

[vrpcworld]

@DaBossk Jealous frustrated PC user?

[222hitme]

Cool

[mac10411]

Technically the tabulating machine was the first computer it used punch cards to count the population. In the 1885 census the tabulating machine counted the population in one year (that would have taken about 8 years by hand. The company that created the tabulating machine company (now called IBM) if you think it's not true google computer history, mac os x history, or windows history (can't remember which one I searched to find that)

[stickman4EVA]

WHAT ABOUT BEYOND!? YOU LIED TO ME!!1 DIE!!!

[vrpcworld]

@stickman4EVA And you re a PC user or a real frustrated old Mac user. I feel your pain if the later. Apple tends to abandoned ship on older models way too quickly if that is what you mean.

[stickman4EVA]

@vrpcworld

what are you talking about? I was saying there wasn't a beyond section you silly boy.

[vrpcworld]

@stickman4EVA Ok sorry I misunderstood you silly kid.

[vrpcworld]

Way too old to be referred to as boy but thanks for the age compliment I think? 

[stickman4EVA]

@vrpcworld

I was just messin around :L

and you're the silly one here :D

[vrpcworld]

@stickman4EVA Ok hahaha. Take care stickman4EVA.... Keep posting interesting comments if you can at my little piece of Youtube. Take care...

[stickman4EVA]

@vrpcworld

are you being sarcastic?

[vrpcworld]

@stickman4EVA Not at all. This is sometimes a problem online when typing or responding to individuals comments. Believe when I say that if I wanted to be sarcastic, it would be in a much more clearer format. Take care.

[vrpcworld]

@stickman4EVA If pointing out some facts to you is being sarcastic at your young and inexperienced age, then you have a lot to learn and yes then I am sarcastic with facts. Prove me wrong (challenge) about the real facts or point to an error and I will acknowledge it if its true. Keep an open mind and you will go far.

[stickman4EVA]

@vrpcworld

Oh, no, I don't think pointing out a few facts is being sarcastic. I merely thought you were because most people I know are. sorry.

As you said, this is sometimes a problem while talking to people via the internet.

And in future, I will try to keep an open mind. Thank you :)

[vrpcworld]

@stickman4EVA I'm sorry to hear that so many people you communicate with are sarcastic, it shouldn't be. There is a purpose for sarcasm but some people just over use it. Let's always try to have some level of patients even with the sarcastic people on the net. Take care.

PS: Video is old but still has educational values (I don't agree with all in it)..

[stickman4EVA]

@vrpcworld

Ok ;)
