What a visionary. Man, i loved growing up in the 80s. It felt exciting with inventors like this.
Ответитьthiss Aadme was waay ahed of he timé
Ответитьsir Clive was an electronics genius who also recognized other genius AND knew the price point was king
Ответить4 years after this, he infamously launched the Sinclair C5.
ОтветитьI would never have got into computing if it were not for the 48k spectrum..i then went on to have an amiga500...but the spectrum was my first ever computer and i hold it dear to my heart for all the great childhood memories it held...clive was a genius...rest well clive.x
Ответитьgreat guy i loved my zx48k
ОтветитьBetter than Steve Jobs 🧠
ОтветитьHighest admiration Sir Clive. The thing I remember most were the books. SERIOUS manuals - very thick - detailing BASIC programming language. Must have taught and inspired hundreds of thousands.
ОтветитьGot my first computer -a 48K Spectrum - for Christmas 1982, and I have had a fantastic career as a games programmer all my life. Thank you Sir Clive.
ОтветитьGreat man, tragic combover.
ОтветитьThe ZX81 and ZX Spectrum were my introduction to the world of computing and led to my 30-year career in software development. To see those machines still being supported and used to this day shows the effect this man had on so many. Requiescat in pace Clive, you were ahead of your time
ОтветитьThe Black Watch was a piece of garbage. Didn't keep time, batteries lasted a few days. Nice attempt though, and who else ever produced a digital watch kit.
ОтветитьIt's ashame my mtv specimen died from both me killing it and the thing committing suicide.
Those things are NOT easy to work on!
Proper love, anything like this me. Thanks so much for posting on here. It's really interesting and I can't believe how far we have come regarding technology, still I bet great even better future technology still to arrive. Please control post more videos like this. Massive respect to you making your channel. I've sub and liked the video.
ОтветитьSleep well in the arms of God now Sir Clive. You have truly enriched all our lives.
Of those of us who remember, as teens and younger children we were.
Your computers developed quite a stir.
As a closed chapter the times so moved on, our love for Uncle Clive still lives on.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡
Brave question at the end, I thought it was going to turn dark.
ОтветитьA very smart gentleman. I wonder what he would say if he were alive now to his “we don’t think computers will run our homes” statement. Or in a conversation with a ChatBot 😅
ОтветитьSinclair was basically Kickstarting every product.
So far ahead of his time and a bona fide genius.
An absolute legend. Sir Clive changed my whole life by getting the Spectrum to market at a price a single parent could afford.
I learned a bit of programming on it and it led to a great career in IT
I don't really like Elon Musk, but he shares something with Uncle Clive. If you have a vision, there's nothing like a room full of accountants and market experts to kill it dead. Sometimes the world needs people who ignore all that and just do what they think should be done. IMHO it will always fail in the end, but the classic moments gifted to the world in between are worth it for those of us whose lives were changed by them.
Ответить"......... flat screens that can be hung on a wall......" Amazing prediction!😃
ОтветитьCouldn't afford the assembled ZX80, so I bought the kit and assembled myself. Worked first time. Still have it.
ОтветитьThat code is hilarious, it doesn't calculate anything 😆 Clive was a legend though. Bring back the C5!
Ответить"You can use it at work" he says, while a grown man is attempting to write a program on a keyboard with keys the size of a quarter of his fingertips.
ОтветитьWe managed to produce a cheap small TV tube it only cost 8 Milly of tax payers money.
ОтветитьVery. Good at taking money upfront and then stalling on delivery he ripped off a good friend of mine delivery took months!
ОтветитьThe UK Steve Jobs….we’d have no Raspberry Pi without his vision of cheap computing for all either!
ОтветитьAnd a year later the ZX Spectrum was released and was a huge seller, sold on the high street, it was revolutionary, introducing the concept of a personal computer for an affordable price.
ОтветитьLove the running shorts
ОтветитьZx81 was my first computer, then went onto the Speccy 48k, and I still have it to this day.
Happy days….
A little known fact about Sir Clive is that his wife would wind him up in the hallway before pushing him out the door!
ОтветитьHere in 2022, we finally have really cheap 4K flat screen TV's 😁
ОтветитьI wonder if he would be happy if he saw how the masses use computers these days.
ОтветитьIt's nearly the size of today's phones, especially the larger sized iPhones.
Ответитьwow running shorts were short back then. also the irony of CS not really getting on with the internet & didnt even have an email address.
ОтветитьThe ZX81 was one of the best things I had as a young teenager. So many great memories playing games like Manic Miner with my mates. Loved it……..other than loading the games on my cassette player. Now that was frustrating 😂 Clive Sinclair thank you, you legend ❤
ОтветитьOnly a real man with fly out of his hallway in those shorts and ginger comb over.
ОтветитьOf the ZX80 and rival machines,
Interviewer: ‘Is it as efficient as the others?’
Sinclair: ‘Oh yes very much so’
…Er, now that’s not quite true is it Clive! 😂
The ZX80 may well have been far cheaper than it’s competitors but only with substantial compromise to features and design…
Interesting see just how far Data/Info storage tech has come in decades later! Funny how mention that we will hang Televisions on walls, as motority do today!😊
ОтветитьThe sound of a ZX Spectrum loading Manic Minor or Jet Set Willy will always hold a special place in my heart. I feel very blessed to have be a kid/teenager through the 80's & 90's.
ОтветитьThank goodness he had the drive to push products out (good or bad) as well as the skills to invent.
ОтветитьI loved Jet Set Willy,
ОтветитьGreat guy remember my ZX spectrum
ОтветитьThe'll be replacing wells with village pumps next AND INVENTING ELECTRICITY!! AND STEAM LOCOMOTIVES!!
