      Kazi Islam I'm a genetic engineer... a very different kind of engineering I'm sure you'll agree 😅 But I have an interest in bioinformatics and so maybe this course will have some relevant material to help me, even if only for a brief time.
      But really, I just love learning as much as possible, and I like the way this channel delivers education

      As a fellow English Speaker, I appreciate that the original comment stated "videogame design" so knowing how computing works can be put to very good use when optimising such video games for the respective systems they will be distributed on. I would also like to add, that as a lateral thinker (I mean who isn't really?) I really appreciate the sign of a poor designer who thinks "that design is separate from both creation and use".

    • @IceMetalPunk
      @IceMetalPunk 8 лет назад +2

      +TheRealPaulMarshall As another English speaker, I find it disappointing that someone would think design is totally independent from creation, as it's impossible to create optimally effective and efficient designs without knowing about the platform your product will exist on. (This is also coming from me as a programmer and occasional video game designer as well.)

    I'm Indian and my grandfather had an old rotary phone in the 90s because the electronics market hadn't boomed here yet and we had to dial the numbers - literally by rotating the dial. To think that we, worldwide, still use that near identical flimsy cable that barely sent voice to power our super fast internet. (Obviously the telephone server has upgraded).
    I now have a masters degree in computer science and probably know all that they will cover, but I will still watch it because it blows my mind every time I try to wrap my head around the awesomeness of the concept. We are destined to go very far, my friends, and computing is our golden ticket into the chocolate factory.

      Today's computer technology relies heavily on physical wiring and electricity. But we have begun researching other ways to "run" computers without depending on electricity.
      One branch of that research involves studying living cells and how they encode "data" in their nucleus and use an assortment of biological components to run their "programs" such as cell movement, phagocytosis, etc.
      My guess is that in the far future, computers will be biological in that it will not depend on electricity to run itself. Instead, it'll use cellular functions like cell respiration or photosynthesis to generate (biological) energy.

    Of course there's a Crash Course for this. I've been prepping to self-teach programming as a career, just finished college, and I needed this kind of info dump to get myself oriented. This series is going to change my life. I promise. Thank you. My word, thank you.

    This video highlights the fact that computers have been relevant, commercially profitable, and downright necessary for longer than most of the current population has been alive. The fact that most schools in the developed world don't teach computer science in a comprehensive manner is astounding. Thank-you for providing such an invaluable and comprehensive resource. DFTBA.

    PLEASE CONTINUE THIS! While jobs that revolve around science and technology leave room for a lot of creative thinking, young people tend to run the other direction because of all the 'technical talk' involved. However, these creative thinkers in these fields are exactly what the world needs right now, so having someone explain these concepts in interesting ways is extremely important.

    Quick tidbit: Hollerith's influence is so far-reaching that in some areas of Brazil (Most notably the country's largest city, São Paulo) paychecks are still called "holerite" (from the local pronunciation of Hollerith's name), because there, where Brazilian industry began in earnest, paychecks (or rather the discrimination of hours worked, overtime, deductions etc. that came with it) were processed in Hollerith-branded machines (and, if I'm not mistaken, printed in Hollerith-branded cards).

      The guy from 1694 was talking about how some peasant with a machine can do the same work as a mathematician, he was exalting the machines

    Computer Science is something I know almost nothing about, I don't NEED to know it for my profession (architecture), but it is a skill that could potentially put me ahead and set me apart. We'll see how it goes, I am looking forward to this Crash Course.

    I just started learning electronics about 6 months ago and I've recently been getting into digital logic circuits. My goal is to at some point make my own computer and CPU from chips containing logic gates, registers, memory, tristate buffers and whatever else I may need. I'm hoping by consulting multiple sources on RUclips as well as written articles on sites like All About Electronics and Electronics tutorials that I'll be able to do this eventually. So far I'm up to making and understanding registers. I've also been following a series by Ben Eater on how to make an 8 bit computer on breadboards and Julian Ilett also has some great videos on making breadboard computers on his channel. I've only just started this series here on Crash Course, but it seems to be a promising addition to my complement of resources.
    Thanks for taking the time to make this series. I really appreciate people like you guys taking the time and expending the effort to share your knowledge with others. There's no quality I respect more in another person than sharing knowledge. Here's to new endeavours.

    We had these simple abacus at primary school, but the teachers never explained the technique of using powers of ten. We used to only slide for example 12of them to one side and to subtract for 3 we would slide 3 back and count what is left.
