Jul 15, 2008 - I suppose it's also a generation gap thing too. When I was a kid, my pops purchased a 'family computer' which we lovingly referred to as the TRASH 80. I think it's total memory was around 8K, if that, and it used a tape drive to store data. It also had a dot matrix printer, and optional 'modem' to 'talk' with other TRASH 80 owners. I wrote a few BASIC language programs back in the day. That was around 30 years ago my friend. The young folk today seem to have no clue how fast things have changed.

Jan 26, 2009 - 33 comments of bunch of followers that take everything they see some were for the truth like blind baths this guys presentation is full with information holes and it's obviouslly not an objective opinionbut rather an subclusion of one person view on that matter , and you all just blindly take it for the truth withouth even challeging his view and withouth doing a simple reserch as to type "first computer" in google and see what happens , and dont take the first few line for undeniable proof
koneye Says:
Jan 26, 2009 - This guy talks about a 1656 T.H. who speaks about the idea for computing machine(calculator) and the jumps all the way to after WW2 saying that Neuman build the first computer 1946 - and basicly this way he denies all the presesors of this machine, such as-Zuse Z3 (Germany) 1941-AtanasoffBerry Computer (US)1941-Colossus (UK)1944Not to mention that AtanasoffBerry Computer was oficialy recognized as the first modern type of computer

Aug 7, 2009 - @ koneye - I agree with your point of not only passively accepting information but to actually process it in an active and inquisitive way, but you could go about stating that without offending most of the commenters here.

Jul 26, 2010 - Why did the audience laugh when they showed the computer that von Neumann's computer? It's that kind of thinking that halts innovations.
BIKabballa Says:
Jul 5, 2008 - I was specifically referring to the laughing at the photo @ 1:30 of the early computer. It's really quite impressive as they were starting from absolute scratch. I can understand the missing sugar and other 'in jokes'. When did this stuff become declassified anyway?
