As a software engineer, I still find this fascinating!
I find it funny that Grace Hopper coined the term computer bug when his entire name is literally 2 letters off from the name of a bug. [Grass Hopper].
I'm an IT professional. Still is always good to visit the origins of what we are today. :) keep doing this great job!
Whenever I pause and unpause the episode, I can't help but say "Carry on Carrie Anne"
Congrats, Carrie. You're officially my favorite non-Green-Brothers (hereafter NGB), Crash Course Host. None of the other NGB CC Hosts manage to hold my interest long enough to watch their stuff. You've got a good mixture of interesting subject matter and a pleasant delivery style. The GB's are both naturally funny and that works for the. I feel like the other NGB Hosts try to be too much like the GB's and it comes off false. For what it's worth. Keep up the good work.
I'm a computer science student, and this is really entertaining to watch 😁good to research background info on my field
I would like to say a huge thank you to all of the people featured in this video who made computers what they are today. I had my first computer when I was two, an Acorn Atom. I could program in basic on the Sinclair zx81 spectrum when I was ten and learned how to build a PC when I was 11. I have been lucky enough to of had nearly every type of PC from an 8086 right through to the quad-core that I have today. (upgrading soon) Programming (along with guitar) is my absolute favourite hobby. I have recently decided to become a full time software engineer. As you can see computers have played a huge part in my life and I am extremely grateful to all these people for making this possible. Thank you for this series, it is excellent and very informative.
"Thanks for the Random Access Memories" Carrie Anne, you're a gem.
This isn't what I thought I wanted. But it turned out to be everything I didn't know I wanted.
This channel is really the best to start the basics on upskilling yourself. May be 3 years ago these people got me interested in Psychology and now in Computer Science, even after having Commerce and Accountancy as my major currently in High School! Thanks, Crashcourse!🥰
Finally, someone who can explain things simply, concisely, and from the ground up.
whoever is the writer of this presentation and the presenter herself, I salute you. Its so engaging.
"sticky, slow, and just plain unreliable" - sounds like me Lol
If you didn't already watch The Imitation Game, nows the time. I cried a little. Just a little.
I love this channel so much, I'm crying tears of joy.
That's a fantastic course. It made my transition from mechanical engineer to being a software developer smooth. Many thanks..
Yes! THANK YOU for this series! You guys are my inspiration and I hope my videos can get to your quality one day.
Yes! Another Crash Course Classic brewing right here! This series is already contending with the Philosophy, Big History, and World History series for me! Keep it up Crash Course! <3
