========== This episode is brought to you by Curiosity Stream. Hi, I’m Carrie Anne, and welcome to CrashCourse Computer Science! Over the past six episodes, we delved into
software, from early programming efforts to modern software engineering practices. Within about 50 years, software grew in complexity from machine code punched by hand onto paper tape, to object oriented programming languages, compiled in integrated development environments. But this growth in sophistication would not
have been possible without improvements in hardware. INTRO To appreciate computing hardware’s explosive
growth in power and sophistication, we need to go back to the birth of electronic computing. From roughly the 1940’s through the mid-1960s,
every computer was built from individual parts, called discrete...
