computers
one of the best ideas humans ever came
up with they went from big machines for
simple calculations
to having all of that and much more in a
small device that fits in your pocket
and it's only getting better and better
as time passes
so in this video we're gonna be taking a
look at how computers took over the
world
but before we do make sure to leave a
like and subscribe to support the
channel
but for now here is a brief video on the
history and evolution of computers
although computing seemed like a
relatively modern invention
computing actually dates back to the
early 1800s
and throughout computing history there
has not been a lone inventor
or a single first computer the invention
of the computer
was incremental with dozens of
scientists and mathematicians
building on their predecessors so in
this video we're going to be starting
the evolution of the computer
from the 1930s the 1930s
marked the beginning of calculating
machines which were considered
the first programmable computer conrad
zeus created what became known as the
first programmable computer
the z1 in 1936 in his parents living
room in berlin
he assembled metal plates pins and old
film
creating a machine that could easily add
and subtract
although his early models were destroyed
in world war ii
zeus is credited with creating the first
digital computer
in the 1940s computers took up entire
rooms
like the eniac which was once called the
mathematical robot john
mockley created the eniac during world
war ii
to help the army with ballistic
analytics
the machine could calculate thousands of
problems each second
the large-scale iniak weighed 30 tons
and needed a 1500 square foot room to
house the 40 cabinets
6 000 switches and 18 000 vacuum tubes
that comprise the machine some call this
invention the beginning of the computer
age in the 1950s
computers were strictly used for
scientific and
engineering research like the joniac
which was once described as a helpful
assistant for mathematicians
the joniac was completed in 1954 and was
used by rand researchers
the massive machine weighed just over 2
tons with over 5 000 vacuum tubes
this early computer operated for 13
years or 51
349 hours before being dismantled
in the 1960s but everything changed when
the programmer 101
became the first desktop computer sold
to the average consumer
up until 1965 computers were reserved
for mathematicians
and engineers in a lab setting the
programmer 101
changed everything by offering the
general public a desktop computer that
anyone could use
the 65 pound machine was the size of a
typewriter
and had 37 keys and a built-in printer
as personal computers became popular in
the 1970s
the xerox also helped pave the way for
steve jobs apple
the xerox also was created in the 70s as
a personal computer
that could print documents and send
emails
what is most notable about the computer
was its design
which included a mouse keyboard and a
screen
this state-of-the-art design would later
influence the apple design
in the 80s apple's macintosh was
described as a game changer
for the computer industry when steve
jobs introduced the first macintosh
computer in 1984
consumer reports called it a dazzling
display of technical wizardry
the macintosh had a keyboard a mouse and
a small 9-inch screen
the computer which weighed in at 22
pounds and cost 2495 dollars
was uploaded for its interface of
windows and icons as the 90s marked a
period of self-expression
apple released the famous imac g3 which
was customizable
the imac g3 was launched in 1998 after
steve jobs returned to apple
in 1997. the computer quickly became
known for its bandai blue clear casing
the 38 pound imac included usb ports a
keyboard
and a mouse it was meant to be portable
and customizable
in the early 2000s laptops became
increasingly popular
especially after apple launched its
macbook air
and in 2008 steve jobs slid the first
macbook air
from a manila envelope and shocked
everyone at apple's mac world with how
thin the laptop was
measuring only 0.76 inch thick
this expertly designed laptop changed
the industry forever
apple got rid of the cd drive and only
included a usb port
and a headphone jack at the time the
minimalistic device cost
1 799 and today
computers come in all shapes and sizes
including tablets
today's most innovative computer are
tablets which are simple touch screens
without a keyboard and a mouse but even
though tablet sales are on the decline
33 million tablets were sold in 2018
and the market is also filled with other
computer models
including the macbook pro imac dell
xps and iphones so that was a brief
history of the evolution of computers
we covered the most important key
moments that changed how we use
computers today
