Holy smokes, kid! This is more like a THESIS! Congratulations on producing what's probably the single most interesting, comprehensive, and compelling description on how we got to where we are in computers. Wow. No one mentions Germany's Zuse. The war is over people. History is history. Thank you.
It was hard to find the Zuse stuff. Although Turing is a household name, his contribution to the ACE isn't really mentioned in many places either. Now it is.

Thanks! Since storage was extremely limited, I'd bet the 1950s predictions were heavily influenced with coder bias. But still - very cool achievement for its time.
@@FreshandFelicia There's absolutely no doubt this would have taken a lot of effort to put together. And you sure did amazing. Thankyou for considering our request.
Hello world from India, I want to thanks a million to the Guys who spent time for creating such comprehensive historical timeline of the Computing Age. Thanks a lot voice over artist, Chuck Fresh. I have started a Computer science Bootcamp class in our local nearby with 25 students and a vision to spread the education and awareness for the coding, programming, computer science and the digital and tech awareness. I used this video to introduce the kids to the History of amazing world we have today in our hands, and got a wonderful feedback. Thanks again to everyone involved in making this video. For me this is a masterpiece....
Programming is super important, but we cannot forget about the value of history! Always happy to see the combination of these, especially in such a fun way, thanks for sharing with us! I'll be passing it along as well!
This kind of documentary presentation would certainly ignite more interest towards learning coding and do it with passion. I'm a guy with 20yrs of IT Infra exp. Used to stay away from coding and loved to manage data centers storage, networks, compute on prem and Cloud. Now there is a paradigm shift from traditional way of managing stuff from Infrastructure as a code. What if AI completely overtake humans in administering IT and everything is automated. Change is the only constant in this World. We are in work from anywhere era..due to Covid19.
By far the most interesting and fun to watch video of computer science! I litterally could watch this all day. You are so good at teaching! This is what a lecturer should be like.
This video is amazing. Seeing the history to the present day of the most fascinating technological subject. When I was in school I loved using the computer, I wanted to get into computing but my careers advisor told me not to bother because 'too many people would be in that field and I'd never get a job'. I could strangle that guy now. But such is life. Thanks for the amazing video, its truly inspirational
It's never to late to start! Coding can be super fun just to do for self-fulfillment and being able to work on your own passion projects and you could freelance your work to some things on the side if you want to. However serious you'd want to get is up to you but don't let the past dictate what you do now :) Have a great day
Rob I heard the same exact thing in 1983. Began with Cobol in college on punchcards. I couldn't afford to go to Drexel University, my first choice, so I didn't have the opportunity to learn from the best. Changed to broadcasting, then marketing, then pre-law.
We also used to only have 10 months, july and august were added for Julius and Augustus. Remove them and the prefixes of the names now make sense again Sep 7, Oct 8, Nov 9, Dec 10

well done, great history presentation...I always find it interesting that Babbage is credited with inventing the first computer, but he never actually built it. Lovelace is always credited as the 1st programmer, although she never programmed Babbage's computer because he never built it. Go figure
Brother spoke about AI being able to code for computers by computers being a thing of the future (10 years). The video is now 5 years old and the advents of AI are unprecedented and leading the industry into a new era of computing. AI will change the way we code, heck I can even guarantee that AI is coding for many companies. The day where they will automate code for coders is gonna be soon, and i want to be on top of AI before that and i advise those in the tech to do the same. Let the machine's work for you for you to work with yourself, godspeed brothers and sisters
WOW 5 years! I was still a teacher when we made this! We're still waiting for the day we can say, "Siri, write me an adventure game no one has ever played set in space and starring my favorite celebrities, and use my chill playlist as the soundtrack." It's coming!
Your way of teaching style is really awesome. I'm also a teacher from small county called Nepal but your style is way better and full of fun. While watching this video I was feeling like I'm a 26 years old but little kid.😃
I nearly choked when I heard you say Brevard county! I lived in Titusville for 20 years haha! Live up North now and just started learning C# this year. Thanks for putting this video together! Looking forward to more.
Thanks brother i finally understand everything, using pc is like a illusion because works with codes that is translated to informations but with a representation that we can understand is crazy, i will never see computers the same while playing a super realistic game again 😂
Loved this video. The part at the end where you talk about Ai and having these jobs available until code can code itself but that it may be a decade or 2 away was funny to hear with copilot and now chatGPT. Again great video. Loved the storyline and learned a lot!
Thanks! As cool as they are, Copilot and ChatGPT are still comparatively weak compared to humans or human coders. But that will change at some point, but not as quickly as we might think.
There are small details that are still misteries to me. But hey, you nail the concept in this video, Brother. You literally nail it. This is one semester of coding history condensed into a 45-minute video. Congratulation.
And this is my first time hearing a name "Herman Hollerith". Never knew until now that the guy was the inventor of Punch Card. Nevertheless, my further research revealed that Hollerith was not the only one involved in the development of punchcards. His colleague,John Shaw Billings, also had a contribution towards developing the punchcard. For further reading, see THE DEVELOPMENT OF PUNCH CARD TABULATION IN THE BUREAU OF THE CENSUS WITH OUTLINES OF ACTUAL TABULATION PROGRAMS.
Thanks so much! There are bits and pieces that are missing, many which have been addressed in these comments (thank you all). We will confirm the research, and add the facts in an updated version that will include the Metaverse.
We still get a LOT of flak about HTML not being a programming language. Technically, Hypertext Markup Language is a declarative programming language. Whether or not HTML is a "real" language is a matter of semantics. HTML and CSS are programmatic commands declaring what should exist on a web page and how it should be displayed, so it's a little confusing. But we did disclose that here at 40:24. What's your take?
in my horrible opinion: I'd say it's coding, but not programming (like you said, semantics). HTML won't help me calculate how many apples I'd have if jimmy ate some, but it's still a useful tool
I also do not consider HTML to be a programming language, you cannot write your own sorting algorithm in HTML afaik. I do however strongly disagree with your opinion that PHP is not a programming language 41:45 it is even possible to write standalone programs in PHP that run without a browser or webserver. SQL is the one that is more debatable, I feel that it is fine to categorise it as non-language even though I have heard that strictly speaking it is Turing complete and therefor is a language. It is a bit like the question of whether a cucumber is a fruit or a vegetable, most people consider it to be a vegetable even though it strictly speaking is a fruit.
Terms have changed over the years. One used to "program thier vcr" so, I'd actually say that (as today languages are expected to be Turing complete) it *is programing but not coding* and no, I'm not just trying to be contentios but the above seems the mist natural modern interpretation. If you take code to mean a set of symbols used to affect the recipients behavior (all the way back, think code-breaking egnima) the you are *programming and coding* But no doubt you are programming, that is simply applying an algorithm to customize or speed up a task. (Think "programming our students) it's a much more abstract term.
if someone says it IS, shows they're not technically able to understand a Turning complete language (needs branches/conditional jumps)... so no it's not a programming language.
A bunch of corrections: First: Bouchon's punch-card loom was 1725, not 1800s. Maybe you meant to say 18th century. Second: No, computers came before punch cards and Ada Lovelace coding: Babbage's Difference Engine was a mechanical calculator that did work. His Analytic engine was a mechanical computer whose friction coefficient wasn't low enough, so it couldn't work.

"Computers" as you think of them were first known as electronic computers, and they were specifically called that as a variation on the (human) computer. Likewise, calculators in the 19th century were human beings. Then there were mechanical calculators, then electronic calculators.
This was a fantastic dive into the past, present and future of the coding industry. Also, where were you back in 2004 when I was bored to death in my first and only high school computer class?! I'd probably be a programmer for Google by now... *sigh* Anyways, thank you for posting this!
looking at this and the other videos on your channel. every video should follow this format, should be 10-20 minutes long, and follow similar stories about computers, the industry and its history but more specific and in more details. You've got a really good voice for commentary.
I like the way you discuss....I hear you bro. Frotran is very much used by scientific community today, if you're doing modelling, simulation that involves intense calculation.
This is amazing, I've never seen something boil it all down so efficiently. It's also terrible because having it all shown in a linear fashion like this robs me of some of the mystique of computing. Oh well, I guess I'll go try to understand quantum computing, that should properly **** me up
@@FreshandFelicia Well that's like music to my ears:) As someone who recently started coding (in VFX) I am more excited about sequel to this then any upcoming blockbuster hit sequel :)
I wish you would add Grace Hopper, Margaret Hamilton(Software Engineer, 1969 Moon Launch computer) and other applications. Lost In Space 1965-68 also introduced me to robots and computers(especially the first episode: "The Reluctant Stowaway" with computers and that awesome Robot B-9), "War Games" et al.
Those are EXCELLENT examples! We are currently in talks to produce a second version of this, and we will definitely include these amazing people. Thank you!
I'm finally returning to school at 27 to finish my CE degree, and watching this really gets me excited to get back to work! Things are at an interesting point with computers and possibilities, can't wait to see what's up next. Thanks for the upload!
"Magic" is a perfect word for these technological developments. How we conned electrons into solving complex mathematical equations and delivering streaming sounds and images that are perfect and recognizable still blows my mind.
Holy smokes, kid! This is more like a THESIS! Congratulations on producing what's probably the single most interesting, comprehensive, and compelling description on how we got to where we are in computers. Wow. No one mentions Germany's Zuse. The war is over people. History is history. Thank you.
It was hard to find the Zuse stuff. Although Turing is a household name, his contribution to the ACE isn't really mentioned in many places either. Now it is.

I wish you would add Grace Hopper, Margaret Hamilton(Software Engineer, 1969 Moon Launch computer) and other applications. Lost In Space 1965-68 also introduced me to robots and computers(especially the first episode: "The Reluctant Stowaway" with computers and that awesome Robot B-9), "War Games" et al.
Those are EXCELLENT examples! We are currently in talks to produce a second version of this, and we will definitely include these amazing people. Thank you!
Amazing. Kenyan youth are stepping into tech enmass 😊
Great news!
I'm finally returning to school at 27 to finish my CE degree, and watching this really gets me excited to get back to work! Things are at an interesting point with computers and possibilities, can't wait to see what's up next.
Thanks for the upload!
You got this!
Wow technology has gone a long way. I'm sure there are more to see during our lifetime. It's like magic but real.
"Magic" is a perfect word for these technological developments. How we conned electrons into solving complex mathematical equations and delivering streaming sounds and images that are perfect and recognizable still blows my mind.
U r my coding guru
good history lecture.
