today you are reacting to this what is
this what is that a compute oh it's an
old computer it's cool like pressing
buttons it's huge it's very huge if you
don't have a desk where do you put this
it's just very hipster so it is an old
computer yes from the late 1970s or
early 80s
what do you think of it just from
looking at it kind of like those old
televisions that are like very boxy go
ahead turn it on I think happening so
you turn the monitor on where else might
an on switch be it's in the back oh I
see where it is why does it have to make
so much noise and just nothing on the
screen doesn't look anything like what
we have now apps games websites
everything but this thing right here has
nothing go ahead and try to do something
on the computer nothing's happening how
do I do this
you can't do anything or even type until
you hit a reset button that's on the
computer that's decent it's very tedious
it's like preflight checks kind of that
is too many steps up how do you like do
anything
maybe you pressed yep okay I can do
anything
where's the mouse where's the mouse
everything is just done with the
keyboard what
okay okay okay okay I'm gonna write my
name are there any programs on it who
had to type into the keyboard to get it
to do anything so if I type in games
it returned air right Eric this computer
isn't an error how do you go on the
internet you what furnisher Timothy
berners-lee didn't create it yeah there
was no internet back then what how do
you like you look up homework I go to
the library who wants to do that so
computers back then could only do
limited things for example you can do
math type documents and code but that's
about it
a serious back nine blowing then it was
the peak of technology now it seems kind
of worthless well it's kind of good
because it was kind of the first
technology might build computers today
are kind of better let's do some math go
ahead type in a math problem when you
just type numbers out the computer
doesn't know what you want it to do it
just sees the numbers you need to give
it a command to let it know hey I'm
about to give you numbers that doesn't
make any sense you have to give some
sort of command and then type in what
you want it to do this would be the
hardest thing in the world so what you
need to do is you have to type the word
print first oh that has nothing to do
with print I don't get how you have to
put print nothing prints out finally
took a thousand years
I don't get it and I also don't get the
1970s person that was using this a long
time ago
must have a lot of codes right next to
them so besides the computer there is
something else next to it these things
do you have any idea what those things
are
it's a big book powerful external disk
drives they're actually used for this
case a floppy disk Oh floppy is it was
like a flash drive they actually call
that a floppy disk that big computer has
no hard drive on it it's horrible and
why is it so big so floppy disks were
used to store data floppy disk could
also come with programs on them so the
one you're holding has a version of dots
dots you know what das is no no no I
think it could be somebody's last night
you want to play a game on the computer
yeah yes could you grab the floppy disk
please go ahead put it in I don't put
this in oh it might is the lid shut I
turn it around other way
no foots turn around it does something
like suck it in shut it yeah this isn't
working on my prints try it this
returned it said zero I don't like
really don't if the computer was already
on and you put in the disk you got to
turn the computer off and turn it back
on oh my gosh
you got a crazy
yes it worked okay it works at least too
much exhalation game over it's green
which makes it look ugly at least it's
better than flabby bird so every
computer even today has something called
a processor inside of it and depending
on how good your processor is is how
powerful that machine is you would need
at least 850 of those computers to equal
the single power of this one small phone
how can they do that technology is
awesome look at how he mandy has used
their intellect pretty awesome oops
so finally would you want one of these
today sorta it's it's pretty cool no it
can do really nothing I have better
things so why would I want this three
decades ago I would love to have this
but now this is just uh this is just a
footstool no no no no you wouldn't use
it the diesel blowing the stuff is
boiling and the whole thing is boy
thanks for watching this technological
episode of kids react leave a comment of
which technology we should react to next
PE why
