"I was too lazy to calculate so I invented a computer" lmao. last time I felt too lazy to calculate I failed an Algebra test
What's even more funny about this quote is that programmers TODAY would say they made their programs because they're too lazy too!
@@projectjt3149 no, for me it was to antagonise people.
Most of world greatest inventions were made because people were lazy an wanted easier way to do the job....
it's been 7 years since this video. Time flies by. This is still one of the most inspiring stories.
Thank you to all of those people who have shared this video! It means a lot!
How the hell can you tell the story of computers without Alan Turing?He gave the entire theory of computation. Zuse just assembled a machine with limited capabilities,similar to abacus before him.Turing gave the theory of what that machine's full potential would be and what it would never be able to do even before a complex enough computer existed!
RIGHT!!!!
+The Den I made this comment after watching both the parts.Also ,Turing is too important to be mentioned in a flashback when the entire story is being told in chronological order.
+Anchit Sharma Alan Turing IS without a single argument the most prolific and influential person in the entire realm of computing, but still doesn't fit into the transformation of the society and human lifestyle.
Turing's work was the backbone for all of the work done by other people to bring computers into the lives of the public. It wasn't directly influential to the society, despite the degree to which he influenced computing. These videos are really more about the society than computing.
Feel what I'm saying?
But yeah, being an Alan Turing fanboy, I really would've loved more about him and his work.
Anchit Sharma Rubbish; C.E Williams thought of the digital computer; not Turing. The Germans had the first actual computer that was built, also. It was called the Z3.
An Geoffrey Dummer! (Integrated circuit)?
Outstanding job on this cold fusion. I can only imagine the amount of research and preparation it took before even starting this. That's what separates a great RUclips channel from mediocre. Respect
Hey man, the Amiga series was WAY ahead of it's time. The commodore 64 was just plain futuristic haha. I was actually thinking of doing another parallel series of the lesser known side of 70-80's PC history, but I have a lot on my plate so I can't guarantee it.
Thanks for watching though man!
Wow!!!! Quality > Quantity channel
how do you even do this? I've watched so many of your videos, and every single time im completely hyped about what you described, and at the end I think "this video is insanely well done". I rarely ever really think that, and never for the same creator, its always a one off. Except here, you make me so hyped for the technologies, stories, people that I really wouldn't care much for would it be anyone else explaining.
Truely incredible work man
I just discovered your page today and watched a handful of videos after work. You've done a great job telling your stories with simplicity while still informing those of us with a little more than average knowledge on the subjects. Excellent work!
Just another reason why ColdFusion should run Universal Studios.
This is incredible work my man. Good job. Even with a few people that should've been mentioned, you did an amazing job at telling an incredible story that most people don't even think about.
Thanks mbond6901!
I don't know, I seem to just see things a little differently from most people and I'm simply just sharing that experience.
Thanks for watching man!
A very smart man once said “I will always choose a lazy person to do a difficult job because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.”

I'm gonna make you famous!!! This is the most brilliant educational technology channel I've ever come across! A good history teacher always knows the marquee value of key turning points and you've highlighted them brilliantly in this video!
This is how we should all be taught!! Really good work my friend! Hats off to you!!
"i'm just trying to educate people differently."
i search high and low for channels like this one, you are doing a KILLER job. i cannot thank you enough, sir.
this story is kinda emotional when you think about it. The evolution of technology and how much things have changed is inspiring and humbling at the same time, i remember when i was a child how fascinating the tape of a vhs was, and how that tape can contain video, i remember how i used to send letters, i remember having to go to a phone booth to make a call....think of those times, and then think of today. times have changed alot in such a short time
Watch "The pirates of silicon valley" Great movie
Thanks
Or better yet, read Fire in the Valley.
Is it on youtube
Lex Luthor of silicon valley, Bill Gates. Goddamnit you can’t find a good thing to say about that guy. There’s nobody but I don’t personally know that I hate more than Bill Gates except for Vladimir Putin.
Should have mentioned where the term "computer bug" came from. Computer rooms weren't as clean as they are today and real live bugs would get into the circuitry and cards of the large warm vacuum tube machines and mess with results of calculations.
Steve Steele Source? (Please)
Zoltan Csikos Some programmers and data entry people from the old Eniac era projects said this in an interview. You might be able to Google this.
@Zoltan Csikos What steve Steele said is true about the computer bugs.
Steve Steele how interesting. Thank you.
This is covered in one of the videos in Crash Course Computer Science.
Make a video on The Story of ColdFusion!
Your wish has been granted.
@@musiciscool1990 Lol after 5 years though..thts a long time :/
On your phone
I keep coming back to this series , it is so inspirational and extremely well made .
You missed the birth of the programming language, C. Without it no miracle could ever be possible.
Your editing skills are amazing! I've been a long time watcher and I've always been impressed with every video you post. I'll be waiting for Part 2!
Sooo...this is a really slick video but there are some pretty major holes and outright factually incorrect information in it. I've just started watching your channel and have really been enjoying a lot of the videos. Normally I find what you have to say informative and especially your insight into business and economics are awesome when analyzing contemporary tech companies--but I think before doing videos like this again in the future you maybe ought to take some more time with your research.
Aside from the fact that I'm baffled how there was no coverage of Bletchley Park, Alan Turing (and let's face it--if we're going to give the space program credit for jumpstarting the demand for ICs credit has to be give to codebreaking in World War II for crossing many of the original design hurdles of creating electronic computing machines), or even the Altair (seriously--how do you do a video on the story of personal computing and leave out the first one ever to come to market?), your assertion that Konrad Zuse was the first person to think of applying binary arithmetic to mechanical computing is just straight-up wrong. The first person to suggest it and try to build a machine around the concept was Gottfriend Liebniz and he did so nearly 250 years before Zuse was born.
Zuse absolutely deserves credit for creating the first Turing-complete electro mechanical computer, but calling the use of binary calculation his innovation is oversimplification to the point of falsehood. He was making use of centuries of published mathematical theory, including Turing's.
Also: Microsoft didn't do anything illegal when they created Windows. Nor did Jobs make a mistake in approaching Microsoft to create software for the Macintosh. Jobs knew as well as anybody that beautiful hardware was useless without having software that people wanted to use to run on it. At the time, Microsoft was writing the most popular software in the world. Having them port that software over to the Mac wasn't just a good idea--it was a smart business move to compete with IBM. Why should people switch platforms if they'd be unable to use the software that the needed if they did so?
Jobs knew that the development of a GUI for PCs was inevitable, so he didn't try to prevent it. The contract between Microsoft and Apple specified a non-compete agreement through to the projected launch date of the Macintosh. Due to delays in the development and manufacturing of the Mac, that launch date was pushed back several months. Though it wasn't specified in the contract, Jobs assumed that Microsoft would honor the non-compete agreement through to the new launch date. They didn't. They developed and released windows after the original launch date specified in the contract, thus putting Windows on the market before the Macintosh.
They didn't steal from Jobs any more than he stole from Xerox. They did the exact same thing he did in putting technology for which the knew there would be demand on the market. The bone of contention between Apple and Microsoft was over when those products came to market and Jobs bristling over what he felt was a third-rate hack of software he'd spent so much time and attention cultivating.
DrexFactor Poi didn't Liebniz also work on inventing some clock-like calculator machines around 1670's?
fast forward many years... 2018 he has now 1.4m subs lol
DrexFactor Poi
Xerox invented the GUI and mouse, as we know today. They were the first to use it commercially with networked computers in their own offices, called the Alto. They were the _first_ to commercially sell a computer with a GUI, not Apple. Apple requested a tour of Xerox, as some employees were ex Xerox and arranged the tour, wanting to show Apple the wizardry Xerox had produced. Xerox agreed. Apple were knocked out. Bill Gates also toured Xerox.
Apple who were making the Apple 2 in volume negotiated with Xerox that Xerox buy $1m of Apple stock and in return they reveal their technology to Apple. In effect Apple _paid_ for the access by reduced profits, as Xerox took a cut. Zerox heads in NYC, who never understood the technology were pulling out of computing. They never understood what it would and could do wanting Apple to make the machines, as they could make them cheaper than them.
Gates just took the technology, in making Windows 2, an app sitting on top of an operating system called DOS. IFRC, it was called Windows 2 (there was no Windows 1 to make it look as if it was not the first release). How he got away with it shows something about the US legal system.
Windows 2 as an app, was on networked DOS computers I was using. No one used it, using the DOS prompt. It was regarded as something for kids. It crashed a lot. It was regarded, and rightly so, as a poor operating system, DOS, with a poor app to make it feel like and Apple but bugged to hell, so not worth using. No one trusted it. We all wanted UNIX, a proper professional operating system, and got it. BTW, Jobs used UNIX as the base for his GUI with his NeXT machines. Similar to what Gates was doing with DOS, with the GUI being an app on top, but UNIX is vastly superior to DOS. UNIX is also the base of Apple's iPhone OS and Android.
Windows was being shipped with anyone's desktop PC's, making computing easier for the 1st generation of users to use desktops en-mass. It was appalling and constantly crashed.
Apple's offer was vastly superior being a proper _integrated_ operating system, not just an app sitting on top of an operating system. But their hardware and software were all in one expensive package. With DOS/Windows, DOS applications, of which there was a massive amount on the market, could be run by clicking a Windows app icon.
Windows was an *app* sitting on top of an operating system, DOS, sending commands to DOS underneath. In interface with the user who thought they were on an Zeroz/Apple type of machine.
Windows never became a proper operating system, being just an app, until DOS was fully eliminated, which took about 15 years - and in that 15 years still bugged to hell and a poor product. How Microsoft became a giant is purely marketing, as technology-wise they had little innovation, if any at all. The same could be said of Apple, but they were better engineers than Microsoft producing the hardware and a proper GUI operating system to match.
Hello, Apple fanboy.
Let's see the inaccuracies:
1. There was a Windows 1.0.
2. You didn't mention Windows 3.x. It was also an app running on top of DOS but it was almost an OS of its own (it could utilize virtual memory, something that DOS wasn't aware of).
3. You can't compare UNIX to DOS. The former was made for networked business use and the latter for single user PCs.
4. iOS is mostly based on BSD, not Unix. Also, Android is based on Linux.
5. Apple's OS was far from being "superior". The OS itself had such a terrible memory management that the user had to restart the computer quite often, in order to release the memory taken by previous programs.
DrexFactor Poi hi
U all r genius
This a very good idea for show the young ppl of today what we had to go through to get here good job man.
man a decade later and this still one of like my top 5 or hell maybe even top 3 vids on this site this is SO well made
Watching this you realize how much easier life is today. Something many of us including myself. Take for granted…..
HOLY SHIT, this is one of the best youtube videos ive ever seen. u are so good at creating goosebumps.
Where the hell is Alan Turing?
Exactly my thought
He copied Konrad Zuse's idea and which made Britain to dub him the first man to make a electronic computer which was a WW2 propaganda. And sorry if my grammar is bad
No Turing's WWII exploits were kept secret for decades
MRQQ9 C.E Williams thought of the digital computer; not Turing.
how is it propaganda it was secret for years wiythout him and his team the allies wouldve lost the war. go research.
Mind blowing video!!! This should be made compulsory to all students on schools and colleges. Great work man!
still the best video on RUclips I have ever seen, its been 9 years
Alan Mathison Turing OBE FRS (/ˈtjʊərɪŋ/; 23 June 1912 - 7 June 1954) was a pioneering British computer scientist, mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst and theoretical biologist. He was highly influential in the development of theoretical computer science, providing a formalisation of the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general purpose computer.[2][3][4] Turing is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence.[5]
Came here from C4E Tech, your channel is amazing dude, loving it. really original.
Thank you for making this video, I think it was very well made and imagine it must have taken many hours to make. I like that you made it clear a few times that you were only giving an overview of the history of computers and that many things would be left out.
I plan to use this video series in my Computer Science course that I'm developing for grade eleven students, I've used H5P to make the video interactive with questions.
wow thanks for your hard work in making this video.. really enjoyed it
An interesting fact: the teaching of "integers" was brought into grade school in America after the Spunik launched. The government wanted every American to be capable at writing computer programs when they grow up.
wow! the best documentary i have seen about the transition period! thumbs up! i m in mind blow. seen other boring documentaries. ur references to other things going on were also important parts of the video... it really does tell about the other background influences directing the course of humanity....
Lots of hype in the video. Alan Turing, Bell Labs, C/Unix along with very many other crucial things were not even mentioned.
Why would Bell be crucial for the development of computers?
@@kkon5ti -- Bell Labs - IIRC - started "System V" (system 5?) which then became a Unix or maybe even Unix/BSD type OS. This is, in part what, Apple/NeXT used in the mid 90's and was the basis for all computers and phones and even some of the iPods (iirc, the early iPods used a different system).
BSD Unix is similar to Linux, yet the licensing is different. You can download Darwin (the kernel macOS is based off of), for free. This does not have all the Apple addins (iTunes, QuickTime, Quartz display, etc..) yet it has a lot.
Great video! However, in an update video, please mention two important influencers (besides Alan Turing):
* John von Neuman - first to formulate the design of a digital computer utilizing binary logic and shared program/data in memory.
* Robert Noyce / Intel - invention of the integrated circuit.
Amazing! This channel is just amazing!
Dagogo, your content is very insightful. You provide the information that not many people either know about, or have heard of it but not got clarification of it. I really enjoy this channel. I am currently 23 years old and I wish that I had found it much earlier on. I can't even remember how I stumbled upon your channel. I believe I was looking into the fall Enron and it brought me to your channel. This was last week from this comment, and since then, every day, I watch your videos. I work from home, so I routinely play one of your videos throughout the day. You're right about one thing: Technology doesn't have to be boring. In fact, it's not boring per se, but now apart of our daily lives. It is inevitable, and will always be around. It'll continue to evolve in ways we cannot even fathom. I thank you for these videos. It helps me learn a lot, things that I've thought about but never looked into. Keep it up!
this video is the most authentic, accurate, interesting, dynamic, artistic (humanity and culture) and chronological documentary of technology and the people. i just like to thank you for such a fabulous video and above all educational.
That hilarious clip is prophetic when you look at the current reaction to AI
Watching that 32 GB microsd example in 2019 looks so funny 😜
GREAT JOB !
GREAT COMPILE !
LOVE IT !
It's an understatement to say that you understated the role Xerox played: Wozniak and Jobs had no "Apple" computer until Xerox allowed them access to its computer and engineers that developed the computer the Apple was based on. No two guys had the knowledge, the time, the money, nor the intelligence to invent what Xerox and its hundreds of engineers created!
This video is 9yo and still is one of my favorite videos in the whole internet!
you deserve over 9m!!! subs
Still not there after 7 years. :(
Hi Siam alam
People like mr beast more
This video along with many others are sooo good.. well done.. These videos should in tv or something
I think Alan Turing could have had a mention. Other than that this was an amazing video and i could see you put a lot of hard work into this. thankyou .. subscribed
England seems to have been left out for some reason.
Also as he was why Apple got its name !!!!!
@@yetifanuk Steve Jobs himself actually came out and said that wasn't true.
My uncle bought one of the first privately owned mainframes in Norway, in the 60's, when he was in his early 20's. Soon he was rich beyond his wildest dreams from customers among the biggest institutions and companies in the country, such as the Ford Motor Company. When the PC hit the market in the 80's, his business started to struggle however, and he had to scale back and change his operation.
In other words. Take chances, hang in there, and believe in your fucking WORK.
Why? Why don't you have much more subscribers it's just not fair
same thought here....the most amazing channel i ever subscibed! :)
Actually true.
exactly! this video has become one of my favorites, and to imagine that this is just the first part. ColdfusTion makes great content. I feel like we need to be the one doing something here
said the same thing, i've noticed that the society today does't want anything educational anymore, and watching this i proved a friend of mine at works point that Xerox did in fact make the first PC...i always assumed wrong.
I think people who like his videos should encourage others to see them because even I feel he's doing a great job... We should contribute to community building..
list the tracks you use in your videos more often! Im always hearing a song in your videos and having to go on a quest to find out what it is.
Wow! my face just melted! freaking incredible work! Holy F! One of the best videos i've ever watched.
nah guys come on
the guy was to lazy to calculate so he built a computer,but building a computer requires more thinking.
he was a legend I salute.
Finished whatching ten video.
Looked in my hand.
OH MY GOD I HAVE A BEAST OF A MACHINE IN MY HAND AND I DIDN'T KNOW!
I love this video!
Form minute 0:00 to the end, awesome music and content!!
Those who give voice for Alan Turing,
I love you all 🖤🖤🖤
I feel you deserve a TV show on the History Channel or some similar station. Your information is clean and seems extremely accurate. Your documentary style videos are very intriguing and easy to watch. Time literally flies watching your productions. I enjoying learning from your channel.Thanks for creating these videos, you're Awesome!
I remember being 10 years old in 1995, and we had a personal computer, stuffed away in the closet. I used to call the operating system Mrs. DOS, and my brother would always correct me…”NO…IT’S MSDOS. But we didn’t know what to do with it because we didn’t have a purpose for it. So funny to reflect on that little snippet in my life.
Holy crap is it changing. I am a kid of the 70's
Excellent video wow was very professional.
I need to know what song plays at 0:20 - 1:25 it's amazing!
23:05 Thinnen - Struck
The Best ever Tech History video I've ever watched in RUclips.
You start nicely and end up making the video to an apple commercial
How in the world is that what you heard? I hate, HATE apple. But geez man!!
Im so sorry you went through that! ❤ Im so glad you are alive and healed!
what i find truly fascinating is that the turning point for apple and the modern tech revolution wasnt tech, but rather... music. 💛
how did this turn into an apple documentary
MrSpiderman1321 Because Steve Jobs was the visionary who drove innovation at Apple and de industry always followed!
Because hes the reason Microsoft ad all other big computer companies exist today.
***** LOL nice b8 m8
MrSpiderman1321 Nope m8.
MrSpiderman1321 Because the uploader is an Apple fanboy. Which is sad, I was enjoying the video before that part.
You didn't mention Alan Turing in the video. 😣
he didn't mention ada lovelace either, what's your point
plenty of people weren't mentioned, and one entire nation was mentioned as if they aren't part of human world
alan turing was actually creator of the first computer, if i'm not mistaken....
they also do not mention the Olivetti programma 101
alan turing was creater of the first artificial intelligence computer
obviouslty he was either gay or british
Unfortunate that Zuse is presented as the inventor of binary calulation. The same as been done earlier in the form of 4 species calculation machines (+, -, *, /) and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz has been the genius who invented/found it. And it is simply not possible to tell the story of computers without talking about Alan Turing.
This is like an actual movie. Really good. Really entertaining
It's really interesting the two different paths that were taken at the exact same time by the Microsoft guys and the Apple guys. I mean Microsoft (the Micro-Soft) wrote Altair BASIC at the exact same time that Wozniak was building the Apple 1.
2000's the jobs revenge finally came !
JACK DOLAH Only because of Ballmer's lack of leadership. Microsoft had smartphones and tablets on the market years before Apple, but they didn't do anything with it. If they had refined the designs, they would probably own mobile too. Besides, Android basically owns mobile now, which is owned by Google. Apple has very little market share in mobile. They just make a lot of money from it because of their idiotic margins.
@@HTHAMMACK1 I agree Microsoft got an idiot for a CEO. Despite everything they didn't see potential or utilized it.
Apple is not a innovative company, they took ideas or things that already exist and took the risk to launch them into the market. The Apple 1 was an ingenious product, but it has a lot of problems that were solved in the Apple II. The Apple II was a success, first, because of VisiCalc, but later, because Microsoft created the Softcard that allowed the Apple II to run CP/M, a very popular OS with a lot of software at the time. That made the Apple II a very flexible computer, with lots of native software(including Visicalc) plus all the business software/compilators/interpreters available for CP/M. At the same time, Jobs wanted to create a GUI based computer, which was the Apple Lisa, but it was too expensive and didn't catch market's attention, so he focused on the Macintosh. But the Macintosh was also expensive and didn't sold well. It was sluggish. The hardware at the time wasn't fast enough to work fast with a GUI. It was a risk, but today we all remember the Macintosh as the first commercially successful GUI and not the Xerox ALTO, nor the Apple Lisa. Jobs was force to left Apple, but despite claims, Apple was still innovative. They created with IBM and Motorola the PowerPC platform, which had the crown for performance in the 90s, they created the Newton, a PDA which required a new hardware architecture, powerful enough for small devices, but with low power consumption, we use that platform we use in tablets, cellphones and many mobile devices: the ARM architecture. When Jobs returned to Apple, he didn't took many risks, he basically eliminated any product line he didn't believe was worthy and created a smaller range of products, starting with a legacy free computer called iMac. The iMac didn't use SCSI, nor the Apple ADB port used in previous products. It lacked a floppy disk, and the mouse was uncomfortable to use(as many Apple mice), but it attracted the attention of the market and was a success, despite being basically a Power Mac G3 All In One with USB, no ABD, no floppy disk and a colorful design(the G3 AIO was beige and had a translucent back). Few years later, Apple decided to build an MP3 player. It was not something new, but Jobs felt the ones in the market were too small in capacity and too hard to use. He wanted a new way to navigate through the songs faster and easily, and for that his MP3 player used a mechanical wheel at first. The first iPod had 5GB which was huge at the time for such small device, and used only Firewire, popular in Macs, but almost nonexistent in PCs, which limited its success. It was only when the iPod was released with USB compatibility and iTunes for Windows that it became a huge success. Basically, every innovation they made is unsuccessful, until they find out the weaks, lacks and failures of their new products. That's why they sell it in limited quantities, or with restrictions(the first iPhone was available in the US only on AT&T). Then, the next generations are better and more successful, as they figured out what was wrong with the first one. They can take that risks because they have faithful customers who are keen to collect each and every single product of Apple, believing it will have an historic value. Apple can make a product that is almost useless like today's Macbook, which has only 1 USB-C port, and at the same time, sell it with profits. Apple profits are huge, because they sell products at whatever price they want and no customer will complain.
+Ayrton Senna That comment will burn Apple fan boys.
+Ayrton Senna Keep in mind that Microsoft basically copied everything from Apple
+Hasan Bilal Keep in mind that Microsoft basically copied everything from Apple
+CodingTuts well, the idea of a Personal Computer(Apple I & II) it's not Apple's. The idea of a GUI it's not Apple's. The idea of a MP3 player with big capacity it's not Apple. The idea of a big screen touch smartphone it's not Apple's. The idea of a tablet computer was developed by Microsoft in the early 2000s and in the second half of the decade, laptops that can be converted tablets PCs were available with Windows Vista. The idea of slim notebooks are not Apple's. SmartWatches are not Apple's idea either. Apple doesn't have original ideas, they took other people's ideas and adapt them to their paradigms. Today, Microsoft is regarded by some as more innovative than Apple.
Ayrton Senna Oh my... well youre so wrong. Sure some of the ideas weren't Apple's, but they where the ones who made those ideas happen. Windows literally bites of Apple. Microsoft has absolutely nothing innovative. Microsoft sucks with all their slow OS's and their shitty lumia phones
ColdfusTion Plz can you tell me what is the name of the track at 17:10 ?
I'm building an archive of the rare 80's song!
"Holy" by Yung Life - it was made in 2012! The guys who made it were less than 20 years old too!
Awesome music! The 80's vibe on this track rock!
ColdfusTion Could you please tell me the first song from the beginning till 1:25 I'm dying to know
+Raptorz X tourist - your girl
+TheRevolus, could you, please, send that rare song list to me? Rzaaeeff@gmail.com
The things they did at PARC were visionary. They invented so many technologies we're still using today. Funny how Xerox never really realized that they were sitting on an absolute gold mine.
What a time to be alive.
More people like pew die pie than this....
SAD.
Why World WHY!
Those were my exact thoughts while watching this
Myo swe well i like both of these channels
your argument is invalid!
vtgandalf1 I said MORE people like pew die pie.
You like both ,so how does it my statement invalid?
Myo swe Acceptance lag
Myo swe People simply have different taste.
So i have to ask where is dennis ritchie and ken thopson or allan turring?
Im sadden that this video has so much time on a poser like steve jobs. -_-
or the 200 years of theretical math coming before all of this...
Danni jensen well the polite answer to this would be that the title of the video is "death of PC". dennis ritchie, ken thompson, allan turring were greatest of greats, but they were (according to me), no related to PC (Personal Computer) directly. may be this is the reason why mr. coldfustion had omitted them. :)
taj nijjar thats a fair point but what about all the mathematicians that really made all the theory.
Ada lovelace, george boole and a few other really really means more for computering than steve jobs ever did or ever will :P
Danni jensen ur point is also valid. but the thing again comes down to the point that this is a video about personal computers.despite the fact that the contribution of these great mathematicians is beyond any doubt, they were not directly related to personal computers. yes u r also right that these people mean a lot in the field of computing.
i think that instead of carrying this discussion forward, i should leave this question to be answered by ColdfusTion . i think he would be the better person at answering this question than me. tc
taj nijjar even from a personal computer point of view apple didten mean that much :P
the TRS-80 sold more and is technical older than any apple product and 10 times as used at home as well >.<
Commadore sold homecomputers before apple was even created not one word about them!
but you give credits to a guy who created the user interface? >.< since home computering didten excist without the user interface? poor Dos got deleted from history :(
And i agree he should but you did :p
Danni jensen lol.... it seems like my knowledge is too little in front of ur knowledge....
What a nice video ! Keep it up, thank you for the nice refreshment :)
ColdFusion listens to Tycho AND hammock??? You're the man!
Hey gogo, Every video you make is awsome and you do so much hard work making videos. Its a shame that this video has only 10,000 likes. It should be way much more than that. Considering people who only test the phones, they just talk about the phone what is good what is not and get more than 20 even 30 thousand likes. YOU DESERVE WAY MORE.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Started out great! Lost interest, when you somehow changed the focus from the computers to how Apple got owned. The last part of the video was not really all that relevant...
Thanks for the comment, but I'd have to disagree. The whole Apple Vs Microsoft battle was by far the biggest thing to happen in the PC market throughout the mid-late 80's and on into the early 90's. It changed the landscape up until the mid 2000's when Mac's gained popularity once again after the introduction of the iPod (watch Part II to actually see how it all fits together).
Each to his own as they say.
Actually if you think about it... you will realize that role in the computer industry actually ended after they introduced the PC to the public widely... after that their sales struggled too much to say, that they made any impact after that. To sum up... they introduced it - other companies and Microsoft made it mainstream.
ColdfusTion Yes, it was, but your view is clearly *incredibly* biased towards Steve Jobs/Apple...
The way you present things makes Bill Gates look like an asshole, which he isn't.
+Vel0city well he is kinda...
+undeadelite !
This was an epic video and i loved it. But there is something i think i should mention. Apple has been given a little too much credit in this video. Microsoft was way more influential from the beginning and it still is. No doubt Apple gained popularity but Microsoft totally killed it.
android is wrecking IOS
Apple is love
Great story telling and video mix overall but the end was really biased towards Apple/Jobs. You also missed the point with Gates writing the BASIC interpreter for the Altair (basically the first PC on the market) which is what helped him start Microsoft with Paul Allen. Why do you make the release of Windows as a bad thing? It helped the widespread adoption of PCs.
Realistically, Windows was always a hack. Microsoft did nothing to pioneer technology. They just made it easy for the masses to get “good enough” technology at a low price.... by letting the OEMs compete in a race to the bottom. Microsoft made a fortune, but in the grand scheme of things, they’ve contributed next to nothing. They copy others well and bundle tech in a way to best their competitors. Xerox, Apple, IBM, etc. were the giants that pushed technology further.
Great video why people who are responsible for what we enjoy aren't heroes is tragic
You add poetry to technical matter. Amazing!
Who is watching in 2019
+ColdFusion - I know this is a late comment but I just saw this one today. I felt like you are completely biased to Steve Jobs and also you said Ms-Dos is a bad software which is not correct because it is one of the best softwares at that time. True Bill Gates took the software as did the Steve jobs from Xerox but maybe in a different way. I am glad that Bill gates did that because if he didn't then all the people don't get to use the PC as they do now with very little price as you can see where Apple stands in that area. Apple is only famous for worst pricing and worst restrictions. Hoping from next time you don't do biased videos . Thank you.
*THE WAY WE WEREN'T*
_An interesting but opinionated and inaccurate history of the information age_.
Thermonucular, indeed.
Agreed. Well produced, entertaining..... but inaccurate and misleading.
i LOVE your channels and stories Cold Fusion keep up th e good work
You left out a most important part of home based computers. I got my first home computer in 1978 (released in 1977.) It was called a North Star Horizon. It had 3 different operating systems. 2 were by a company called Digital Research. They were CP/M and MP/M, the latter was a true multiuser OS. The 3rd OS was a perpiritory OS made by the manufacturer. It used the Zilog Z80 CPU.
In 1975 the IMSAI 8080 was introduced. This home computer was used in the 1982 blockbuster movie "War Games." It used the Intel 8080 chip.
The above computers all came assembled and before the Apple II. If they hadn't been in place, the lag time for the Apple II would have been much longer. We did not suddenly jump from no home based computers to home based computers in the Apple II.
As far hard drives are concerned, my North Star Horizon came with 2. By today's standards they were quite small as a CD holds 6.3 times as much however file sizes where much smaller. A WordStar document containing the same data as a MS-Word 2016 document is about a third of the size.
It also looks like that you read the Wikipedia entry for Visacalc word for word. It is technically correct however it isn't without error as my North Star Horizon had a rudimentary spreadsheet program prior to the release of the Apple II. I cannot remember the name of the name of the program as I never used it.
Bottom line is with these type of the computers,
the Apple II would not have been the success that it was.
Unsubscribe after that nonsense about "Bill gates betrayed Steve Jobs"...
you dont know anything about history dont you *sigh another 10 year old byist
"the acceptance lag level was over 9000" nice touch LOL
All About That TEC! XD and a cabbage athe end
lol
Soundtracks are undefeated
Everyone else's negative posts aside thanks for the video... people make money off RUclips through making cat videos or just posting blogs on self absorbed crap.. I really hope enough ppl watch this and share this to Give you the props and money deserved for your awesome videos...great job
I don't know why, but your Voice is like the most soothing thing in the world. You have a talent, with music, and also with explaining technology in a digestible way that the average person can understand. keep up with these amazing videos!
The whole story of development in Computers is so perfectly compacted in this video. Just loved it♥️
That early age of developing technology feels very different, I've always wanted to live in that age. Today's era has got quite stable and feels numb🥲
Holy guacamole, can’t believe this was posted 7yrs ago. I remember watching this then about a month after it was posted.
Oh boy this is gonna be good. Got myself a cup of coffee and a snacky for this one :3
International Computers Limited (ICL), UK company, had a computer in 1973. It had 8 inch floppy disks, holding 500K ( i think, unformatted). I used to have one for a while.
