Early Computing: Crash Course Computer Science #1
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...

Hello world, I’m Carrie Anne, and welcome to CrashCourse Computer Science! Over the course of this series, we’re going to go from bits, bytes, transistors and logic gates, all the way to Operating Systems, Virtual Reality and Robots! We’re going to cover a lot, but just to clear things up - we ARE NOT going to teach you how to program. Instead, we’re going to explore a range of computing topics as a discipline and a technology. Computers are the lifeblood of today’s world. If they were to suddenly turn off, all at once, the power grid would shut down, cars would crash, planes would fall, water treatment plants would stop, stock markets would freeze, trucks with food wouldn’t know where to deliver, and employees wouldn’t get paid. Even many non-...
