Video 1️⃣ - The history of the collapse of IBM PC computers
No other company has had such an influence on the world as IBM. Over more than a century of history, #IBM made a huge contribution to the development of the internet, gave the world the first smartphone, and their supercomputers sent the first people to the Moon. The abbreviation “IBM” became a household name for a personal computer.
Video 2️⃣ - THE BIG HISTORY OF KEYBOARDS
How did classic keyboards come about? What do the organ and other musical instruments have to do with it? What layouts exist and why isn’t QWERTY the best of them? Why do people love mechanical keyboards? What do the matrix, scissors, and butterflies have to do with it? We’ll cover it all in detail!
Video 3️⃣ - The history of PCs and graphics cards
Today we’ll talk about notable milestones in the history of PCs in general and graphics cards in particular. How did it happen that out of the two dozen companies that were somehow involved in producing graphics cards, essentially only two remain? If we’re talking about discrete graphics cards. What happened with the USSR during the years PCs were spreading around the world? We’ll also touch on laptops of that era and more.
Video 4️⃣ - How PASCAL Changed the World Forever
PASCAL is a programming language that changed the history of computer technology. In this video, we dive into the fascinating history of Pascal’s creation, learn how Niklaus Wirth created it as an alternative to the complex languages of the past, and why Pascal became a symbol of simplicity and elegance. You’ll learn how Pascal became the foundation for teaching programming, how it gained popularity on the PCs of that time, and was later displaced by C++.
Video 5️⃣ - IS THE FLOPPY DISK A STROKE OF GENIUS? HERE’S WHY!!! (https://youtu.be/k9kxk9AKgt8)
Do you remember the 3.5-inch floppy disk? But there were also “floppy” disks of 5.25 and 8 inches. By the way, why were they called “floppy”? And what do GTA and audio cassettes have to do with it? Has the era of floppy disks passed, or are they still used somewhere? 3.5, 5.25, and 8-inch floppy disks, as well as iOmega ZIP and LTO – all about that today… The big history of floppy disks.
