Computer History in 90 Seconds

[TheHarryMann]

No LEO (a big milestone), no BBC, nor Archimedes and ARM chip... in fact even some of the dates have been frigged to conform to the (usual) re-writing of history to comform to a US centric view of the world e.g. Bletchley Park's Colossus was running in'43, and operational mid '44

@TheHarryMann I agree. No ICL, I was there 21 years. Surely they posted a few milestones.

What is that at 1:07 ?

[steelydanbowler]

@PapaRoach51 Did a quick search on google and it looks like an "OQO" handheld computer.

The last 20-30 years seemed awfully compressed compared to the rest of the timeline. Still, good.

You forgot the Antikythera Mechanism, the oldest scientific mechanical computer estimated to be built in 150-82 BC. And the abacus, the oldest calculator.

01:07 can someone tell me what it is please? great video anyway

[greenhornet101]

With all respect to the Ada, Countess of Lovelace. Her contributions were also of much value. She is worthy of mention.

[RMDOTE7]

@greenhornet101 No Grace Hopper either :(

[Sha1Hulud]

Babbage, but not Ada?

1 MB (Mega Byte) in the early 1980s cost about $10,000 ($20,000 todays price)

[Starfighterking]

[paul4opus]

Love ending with HAL9000.

[greenhornet101]

I love HAL, too.

Thanks for watching!

It's amazing to see that something that took up the size of two rooms, with 1/100th of the capability of something the size of a palm that's touch screen. It's quite remarkable. And only in a matter of half a lifetime.

[AsAngelsFall221]

@da2freestylebois Probably more like 1/1000th or even 1/10,000th.
