BBC documentary history of computers part 1.
The BBC broadcasted in 1991 the serie ‘The dream machine’. This scene is about the tragic story of Alan Turing, the “father” of the contemporary personal computer. In the course of the Second World War he devised a number of tactics for breaking German telegraph codes. Following the war Alan Turing worked at the National Physical Laboratory, exactly where he created one of the initial designs for a stored-system laptop or computer, the ACE. This series of the BBC was broadcasted in 1991.
when I was a child in the open tundras, we used to rub mammoth bones together to hear the words of the gods. Now I have useless android apps that cost $14
0:28 but can it run crysis ?
@candietwist me too
radio astronomy/ what do they do.. hmmm nice documentary.. very interesting….
I was bored and searched ‘BBC Documentaries’ and got here. Funny what procrastination can make you do
The kind of development like in this video, is now occuring with the Quantum computer. I hope we don’t have to wait as long, but have one in our homes in about 25 years.
@gigobait lol ‘fuck the British’, yes it was very sad… but things have changed. Where are you from? No doubt somewhere where homosexuality has flourished freely for centuries!
@helipro555 haha lol
@ludocrat As Michael jackson in south park said: Thats ignorant noo noo your ignorant! lol
Cool, thanks.
As I am watching this on my iPhone!? What a trip! So even if you were accused of being gay in Britain you would be thought a monster? Horrible.
Very nice video and very well made. I will use it in in my lessons on informatics!
@gigobait You’re from Russia, correct? Guess what the Russians did to homosexuals? Hint: it involved a) jail b) siberia c) death. So ‘fuck the Russians’, correct?
@gigobait
“Fuck the British” is it? Then you mean “fuck Alan Turing” as well, who was British. That’s how stupid your ignorant comment is.
Of course, you won’t understand that so I’m wasting my breath.
Now imagine … living in those time imagining those machines evolving to our gizmos of today what an mental exercise
cracking the codes, yes?
@TheTruePsycho
Yeah, things were VERY different in those days when it came it sexuality….
Shame such a genius was prosecuted just for being gay.
prosecution for homosexuality? wow.
Poles: Marian Rejewski, Jerzy Różycki and Henryk Zygalski .”..first broke Germany’s Enigma ciphers. Five weeks before the outbreak of World War II, on 25 July 1939, in Warsaw, the Polish Cipher Bureau gave Enigma-decryption techniques and equipment to French and British military intelligence.[3][4] Thanks to this,[5] during the war, allied codebreakers were able to decrypt a vast number of messages that had been enciphered using the Enigma.” info from en.wikipedia
@Cakerolled What!!
Turing was a silly nonce.
Very excellent. Thanks.
