The History of Computers, Programming, and Coding

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.

Java is compiled, JavaScript is interpreted

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

Nice video, but I wanted to point out a bit of inaccuracy with the Paul Allen and Bill Gates part. Paul Allen and Bill Gates wrote the first BASIC interpreter for the Altair 8800. BASIC was invented in 1963, so it had been around awhile. Bill and Paul wrote the first high level language for the Altair. Users had to use machine language to program the Altair before they created Microsoft BASIC.

You missed the VIC20 and C64.

As a programmer who started in 1997 my mind is already blown after the first minute

The dude said we have a couple of decades before code can code itself. Oh boy if he could just see chat GPT

If only he could have seen 4 years into the future with chat gpt

Completely ignored the biggest selling computer in history.....the Commodore 64. Not good.

😶‍🌫️

You mentioned the first computer language, Fortran, but said nothing about the second high-level language: LISP.

Coding predates the textile industry. The first music box was invented in Switzerland in 1770.

Year 2023 code is writing code earlier than we all expected

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.
BUT computers had been around since the 16th century, THREE HUNDRED YEARS before Babbage, and two hundred before Bouchon.
From the 1500s, people who computed were known as computers.
"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.

for children perfect lesson

i like how you say you dont know, but you know 🤑

Do you think it will ever evolve into trinary?

You got the years off by a few. 1989 should have been 1993-1996

About the c64 and trs80

you clear my soo many concepts love man the way you explain ;)

huh so it seems ai kinda came a bit earlier than people expected!

Had to check the time stamp as so many of these predictions have either now been debunked or come true. Also crazy to see JavaScript become the one to rule all. I’ll be using this lesson to teach my son. Your impact on society with this free knowledge can’t be quantified.

Bro every house didn’t have a computer in the 90s just saying 🤷‍♂️

You did not see face book and MySpace in 1989

Hello, you probably never look at this video anymore however here goes.

You have mixed up your ASCII for capital and small letters. You spelled H E l l o.

I find it confusing to be showing someone something and have the information incorrect, it confuses people.

I was doing the conversion in my head and remembered that capital A is 65 so any letters represented over 100 would be small letters.

I just hate trying to inform and give out confusing info to people.

Cool video though.

Google​ was founded in 1994... Internet (www) started to take off around there. There were😊 only Usenet and email available in 1989.

You don’t need a degree to get a job just buy a computer and program every day on it. DONT PLAY GAMES ON IT UNLESS YOU CODED THEM.
Takes about a year or two

as a cs student who loves history, thank u for this

Social media came out more so in the early 2000s not 1989

Damn, that "it's gonna take a decade" for AI to catch up comment

chat gpt

VERY INTERESTING!😃🧠👍

Just downloaded this video for future viewing.

Dhanyavad

Wow…awesome info, but this phony game show host voice you’re putting on is painful. Why couldn’t you just explain this in a human voice?

Binary code is just like atoms for computers

What an excellent video.

Base 10 system came from India

I get 0 and 1. Yes and no. How does that get to ray tracing?

Ada Lovelace was the daughter of Lord Byron, btw. She also had the idea of using numbers to represent other things like colors, fruits, names ...

So what you're sayin is... Charles Babbage punched Ada Lovelace's card a few times (if you naw wum sayn) ....and that's how computers were born. Fascinating.

Meanwhile Indians watching this be like 🤐🤐🤐🤐

Great presentation, I like the way you lay the narrative... Great and thanks...keep it up.

Looking at this with all the new that the AI ​​has to offer is amazing, being able to ask the AI ​​to program something for you is extraordinary, we just have to see how it continues to advance and continue to surprise us, but it is going to get to the point where it starts to leave people without jobs
