yea we still have lol not dvds, brain lol

Ahahah indeed

Nothing has changed, nerds still run the world, go step on the Google campus

Why not both?

this.

Yeah, it annoyed me that the guy kept referring to past years in a relative manner although it's rather clear it's the mid-90s.

PBS has always been awesome.

I agree completely. Some people (relatively few) exude honesty and class. Woz is one of them, and one of my all-time favorites. His autobiography, iWoz, was one of the most fascinating tomes I've ever had the pleasure of reading.

Worked Security for Apple in the 90's. Met Woz once. He was genuine.

He's very underrated indeed - without him, Apple would never have come into existence.

@D HUH??????!?!?!? I don't own any apple products and don't care for them. But last time I checked arent they the first TRILLION DOLLAR company? They lost half of their wealth back in the day with Gate, no? Now I think they're doing too well and have too much power with their sheep followers.

Just like Nirvana: "we are anticorporative", then a disc record corporation promote them and they become millionaires.

.....and fantasy novels, white socks / running trainers (sneakers in the US)

I'm just 3 years younger than you... but I didn't think myself too young, and I certainly *knew* it was special. I was an 8th grade "computer science" student (new program that year in my suburban Montreal highschool) when I was 12 in 1972... and being connected to computers (originally through DTSS at Dartmouth) was a revelation.

That could have been my computer. When I was 10 in 1993 we got a packard bell 486 66mh :)

I bought my very first computer in 1990 although i had been working with computers since 1985.

@@rarRoarrar I currently develop manufacturing software applications for Windows on an IBM 32bit PC with Windows XP that is NEVER connected to the internet. I also use an Acer 64 bit system with Windows 7 for system testing that is also NEVER connected to the internet. Both systems have run flawlessly for over 20+ years without any virus protection software or any software updates. I used a separate Windows 10 system for internet communications with virus protection software to send and receive client data. This Windows 10 system would typically work for only 1-2 years before becoming corrupted and would have to be completely purged and reloaded to original state. I finally replaced the windows system for internet communication with a Chrome system w/o virus protection and it has been working now for 4+ years without purging and reloading. Although I constantly get and delete spam e-mail including e-mail from visus protection companies notifying me that my (windows system) is full of malware. I never use the cloud and do all my social interactions on my mobile phone using text messages. Best regards Larry

capitalism man...

lol

Globalist capitalist pigs

@@augustuseuropa410 i will take that over communism any day lol

@@JimTheKid Capitalism isn't a ideology so it isn't going to be taking it over. Capitalism can work together with communism which is a philosophical ideology.

Sun E & Charz?

The CPU of the Apple II, Commodore 64 and many other early personal computers used a simple CPU called the 6502. It had about 3500 transistors.

Or the equivalent of a university floor full of valves

Watt is power. What is any transition yunno?

Your sky lake i7 < my alder lake i7

@@herrfriberger5 Yes, and one of the best CPU's ever, Assembler is so easy to program. Today the x86 x64 CPU's have thousands of commands, but ARM CPU's comes them close today, maybe ARM never had the change to program them in assembler.

i get your point. It became some kind of fashion or some product the media created to get some profif of it.

Lol these nerds was hipsters that became very rich hipsters

nothing went wrong, how could that possibly be a bad thing?

@Jon I have observed that there are times in life where people do not adapt to changes for multiple reasons. It is not always consistent with people being older.

@Jon relax he's just reflecting on how we take computers for granted nowadays. its possible to both appreciate todays technology while being wistful about how everyday its become

+Matt Brine 15 years ago I had an 8088 and an 8086 (as well as state of the art computers), and my kids (in their 20's now) still miss the games Mars, Iceman, Moon Landing, etc, etc. Playing those games now is tough, and they end up being tiny on the monitor... IF you can find them.

You still can't beat the CRT for multiple resolution capability! The one way the LCD is still behind. I just ordered a new (to me) CRT - eBay has some great stuff!

+thomase13 Yeah. Amazing how bad the LCD screens are as far as colors. They change like crazy depending on the viewing angle. But I do like their light weight. You and I both know that they will get this all figured out. The advances in the last 25 years have been out of this world. I have a powerful computer in my pocket!

Colors don't change on an IPS monitors when you change your angle of view

It sounds like he’s being downright insulting at times.

Jeff Nay they didn't create anything. They bought that software and rebranded it and sold it as something else

I believe you are correct. They did not even create the Basic that they were installing on every system in the early days. They stole tiny basic and made a few changes and made a fortune !!!

The first was in ussr

He never said they invented the PC. He said young men LIKE Gates and Allen did. He used them as an example because at the time Microsoft was a huge part of the PC industry and they both played a huge part in creating it, although they never made any hardware. Of course this was all explained here if you cared to listen.

@@JaredConnell That is the same as saying, young men "LIKE" Jared Connell and Jeff Nay invented the Personal Computer. As they were guys just like us. I guess he could have simply said that the personal computer was created 20 years ago, by a bunch of geeks in their garage. Although it is more like 47 years ago, now. I would prefer to say people like Federico Faggin (8080 / Z80) and Chuck Peddle (6502) actually helped invent the Personal Computer. As they created the actual CPUs that made things like the home computer and video game systems possible. Neither one, was mentioned. I have one of those first home computers, the Altair 8800 and of course the magazine that goes with it... Although I look at the Micral N a french computer based on the 8008 CPU, that came out in early 1973, as the first home computer. As it looks like Robert's may have based the Altair 8800 on this computer. As they look very similar... So, describing the Altair 8800 as the oldest Personal Computer in the world, "may" not be entirely accurate either. Thank you for reaching out. I did end up watching the entire video. As I am a vintage computer collector, and have all the computers mentioned in this video as well as VisiCalc and Lotus 123 and every version of DOS from 1.03 to 5.

My teacher is making us watch this and write a half page summary

They have a small market because they didn't sell out like Microshits did. PRISM proved they wasn't sell out tell the other douch Tim Cook took over.

Mainly because at the time there was no College Classes that truly taught what they were doing at the time. They invented what they were doing. The were truly the Pioneers of their craft

We all love a great myth, but it's bit false to portray them all as just tech geniuses who "didn't even go to college" yet had a "Vast knowledge of computer engineering and software programming". Consider that the very computer chips that they were using had been developed by engineers with bachelors, masters, and doctorate degrees in engineering, and that the underpinnings of the computer science elements they applied came out of decades of research and development university, government, and private enterprise where mainframe and what were called minicomputers led the way. Bottom line: There were thousands already employed who had vaster knowledge of computer engineering and software programming. The "genius" was FWIW: Bill Gates was a National Merit Scholar when he graduated from Lakeside School in 1973. He scored 1590 out of 1600 on the Scholastic Aptitude Tests (SAT) and enrolled at Harvard College in the autumn of 1973. He chose a pre-law major but took mathematics and graduate level computer science courses.

We all love a good myth but most of them did not have "vast knowledge of computer engineering and software programming". Their genius was in applying newly developed technology to start the personal computer product segment. It should be noted that the computer chips and integrated circuits that they were applying had been developed by engineers and scientists with bachelors, masters, and doctorates by companies such as Intel, Fairchild, Signetics, Mostek, Motorola, Texas Instruments, and National Semiconductor. The foundations and tools of computer science and computer engineering had been developed in the prior decades with university, government, and private industry research from companies such as IBM, Burroughs, Honeywell, CDC, Digital Equipment Corporation, et al. With the vast majority of those computer scientists and engineers having bachelors and advanced degrees. Mainframes and minicomputers were there as models for the "personal computer" hobbyists and product pioneers. For many years, the VAX11-780 minicomputer was the benchmark that personal computers were compared to. Bottom line is that when it comes to those with "vast knowledge of computer engineering and software programming" there were easily thousands who had vaster knowledge in those areas at the time. The "genius", vision, and wealth that was made was in the application and recognizing the opportunities much more than engineering and computer programming skills. I.e. much more entrepreneurial genius than technical genius.

College was in able to teach them what they needed to know

The only thing I ever did with a raspberry pi was eat it and that still stands today.
