Early Computing: Crash Course Computer Science #1
Video Overview & Insights
Hello, world! Welcome to Crash Course Computer Science! So today, we’re going to take a look at computing’s origins, because even though our digital computers are relatively new, the need for computation is not. Since the start of civilization itself, humans have had an increasing need for special devices to help manage laborious tasks, and as the scale of society continued to grow, these computational devices began to play a crucial role in amplifying our mental abilities. From the abacus and astrolabe to the difference engine and tabulating machine, we’ve come a long way to satisfying this increasing need, and in the process completely transformed commerce, government, and daily life.
Who is watching in 2026, degree in Business management, and somehow I’m too drawn to computers so I’m here.

@rawanmaher347The fact that computation is still in it's infancy, yet has the current influence on humanity is wiiild... What's next?
@haskellcameronThanks!
@RachelRaya-rd6xymy favorite subject, here we go
@Gérard_deRivièreThis is good thanks
@Barou12289Very good, thank you
@raffaelesalerno4029born 1970 i grew up with Commodore64 and greatly enjoyed machine language programming in my youth. Evidently i also have watched a few documents on computing history. Yet your video is so refreshing straight forward and really nice to watch. Even for people who think they know quite a bit about computers ... thanks.
@rolandschweiger8678thank you
@ChandanKumarSWFCan talk slowly.
@funnymemes4471What makes computer a computer?
@temanangka3820Awesome
@VelardTVThis is such a great course. This is my second time going over it.

@MasterCorneilousBest study chainal 🔥🖍
@darshikaayu1236Your voice sweet🔥🔥🔥🥰
@darshikaayu1236If anyone would like to learn more, you can read a book called "Computer: A History of the Information Machine", or for something a little more narrative-like: "Innovators" by Walter Isaacson (the author of the Steve Jobs biography, also another very good read that goes more in-depth on the history of the Personal Computer).
