It's fun to see you challenge yourself to compact so much information into a short.

Conrad Zuse was doing binary on hand cut tin plates in the basement. I wish we could see the originals that were destroyed during the war.

Trouble is, Manchester Small Baby was the first real stored memory computer, and before that Colossus effected the first programmable computer architecture. USA were real close, but second.

The history of digital computers involves significant contributions from inventors across various countries. Konrad Zuse's Z3, developed in Germany in 1941, is considered the first fully functional programmable digital computer. In the UK, British codebreakers, including Tommy Flowers, developed the Colossus during World War II, which is often regarded as the first programmable digital electronic computer. In the US, the ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer), developed by John Presper Eckert and John Mauchly in 1945, marked a major milestone as the first general-purpose digital computer. Additionally, the invention of the integrated circuit in the late 1950s by Jack Kilby at Texas Instruments and Robert Noyce at Fairchild Semiconductor revolutionized computing, laying the groundwork for modern computer technology. While early digital computer developments occurred in various countries, the commercialization and widespread adoption of personal computers and integrated circuits saw significant advancements in the US.

I don‘t know any country which doesn‘t claim to have invented the computer.

Sure, I can agree "Stored program" is a good name, and then, what about the Harvard Architecture?

Thank you. Tired of that egomaniac getting too much credit in the history of computing.

The picture at :31 is Harold Lopeman at University of Illinois….

You should try splitting these into two parts if it's too much to fit into a single video

The guys that worked on Colossus in England.

It's difficult enough to always understand the Asianometry narration at normal speed.

You were a bit America-centric! Probably the first programmable stored state computer was the Manchester Baby.

not my format. I don't have brainrot yet
