  • aww i wish my laptop (latitude D600 DELL) was in there, it was made seven years ago

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

  • 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

  • @greenhornet101 No Grace Hopper either :(

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

  • better travel back in time with my 120 gb hard disk

  • What is that at 1:07 ?

  • 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
