1979 Nerd Computer Genius Speaks Geek-Talk To Ignorant Adults

- The time was 1979 and I was making a television documentary for PBS primetime called the information society. It was completely new at that time. We were still in the industrial age. The idea of the information age had not occurred to most people even though computers were being used in every town and every city, in the banks, in the grocery stores, in the insurance companies, and not yet for most people in the homes of America and countries around the world. But some folks could see it coming.
I walked into a computer store (there weren't many at that time) in Cedar Rapids Iowa to film the scene about what was going on in the store. I came upon this 9-year-old boy and his dad looking for new computer for the boy to use. He knew a lot. He was very comfortable with simple programming.
In the years that passed the release that I had from him and his dad allowing me to use this footage burned in a fire and I did not any longer have his name. After several years, one of my subscribers found him and I connected with him. His dad remembered me filming him but had never seen the film so the entire family was thrilled to have this bit of family history - now legacy.
Thank you for all the suggestions from subscribers as to who he might be. He Is Jay Erhlich.
If you search his name on my computer channel you will find the interview that I conducted with him only recently when now in his late 40s, he reflects back on that day when I found him and what has happened since. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
He's hacking YT recommendation algorithm, he knew this video would be famous one day thanks to him...
Lol
haha nice.
He made a computer to the future
That's not hacking.... nevermind
Wow you are genius
i turned my grandmas ringtone on and she told the whole family i fix phones

Interviewer: “Can you tell me what he’s doing?”

I can see how the kid is a genius for them
Reading these comments, I found out that we all wanted a supportive father, which is rare. And it's sad.
Some of us never knew our fathers
Sucks when you're dad is the supportive one, but you have to live with the one who doesn't care if you're dead.
Your profile picture really made it stick

We need a "Where are they now?" series from these videos.
bpar73 I actually found a post on Reddit about him. They said they found him on Facebook. He would be about 53 now. He is happily married (since 1993) with at least 1 daughter, a few nieces, nephews, and a happy family. He is now the Vice President of Baxter Healthcare Corporation and has been employed there since about 2005. It’s revenue on average is about 10.56 billion currently, so it’s a pretty big deal. He and his wife live currently in Chicago, Illinois but his company is based out of Deerfield, IL. His company mainly focuses on products that can treat hemophilia, kidney disease, immune disorders, etc. His daughter actually works for Google too, which is kinda ironic. So, I’d say he’s actually doing pretty good for himself and is living a happy and healthy life. Good for him!

I work in health care and we use baxter products on a daily basis, a hes a big deal lol
David uploaded a video talking to them a few days ago
@@niklasgebert9721 Nice, thanks!
In 1979 I was 11 and programming the VCR for my parents and in my teens fixing my sister's broken Walkman. Today, my son has to show me how to use my phone. So it's just how that wheel keeps turning.
Think it has a lot to do with the willingness to learn dwindling. Of course, forgive me for being presumptuous, if this isn’t your case. But I know a lot of older people , who are brilliant, but just no longer have the willingness to learn new tech.
I had my first VCR in 1990... You must have been rich or something...
Father has no clue his son is breaking code of Pentagon security in front of his eyes.

SalemKid It's true. Most of the more clueless pc users I meet are the ones who used to program the punch cards.

@@moorland6735 I don't think it's about mental capacity, or if they used to program punch cards or whatever else, but rather the open-mindness of the person, for example my dad used to program and he is definitely not stupid, but he is very close minded and whole heartedly dislikes current technology, so he's bad at it. If you don't like it, you wont be good at it.
@@stewartzayat7526 yea. that may be true. but they're definitely not stupid as the stereotype (old people are bad at technology) seems to suggest

I had a dad, even more supportive. I had this kind of apple computer and then the xt/at computers came and they had separate keyboards and we couldn't afford one. So my dad cut the computer and created a mold for a keyboard enclosure which was better than anything i've seen. then he blow molded a plate of perspex into it and placed the electronics of the keyboard into it and i had a really futuristic looking computer with a separate keyboard. My father was a sculpturer and was making great things for me all the time. I miss him a lot:(

@@Dennisjay9 He does have a point. Over the last half decade, the normalizing of dysfunctional families and the rapid increase in divorce have led to children being raised without the proper care and guidance that every child deserves. I don't think it is a coincidence that the vast majority of school shooters come from dysfunctional / single parent households. When you see someone on the news encouraging single mother households and denouncing the 'nuclear family', Is that person usually left wing or right?

My grandparents: “Its like a foreign language to me”
This reminds me so much of how my mom has talked about my computer skills ever since I was a teenager in the '80s. She was supportive, even though she could understand very little of it. Thanks for posting this.
It used to frustrate me, because I wanted to tell her what I was doing (what I was programming, what I was dealing with). She picked up on a little bit of it over a few years, so she could sometimes say something that made some sense of what I was telling her, but it was mostly over her head. Still, she'd ask me about it from time to time. After having conversations with her for several years about it, she actually gave me an insight about computers, back in the '80s, "This is going to change the world!" I wasn't really thinking of that back then, but here we are...
She finally got a laptop of her own in 2013, her first computer.
That is what a father should be like. 24/7. What a legend.
I totally agree, sadly most fathers and parents aren't like this.
@@chuy8356 A lot of parents could learn from this simple improvement. Be passionate about your kids passions, get involved with their passions and support them all the way. Given there are exceptions, like being passionate about drugs n that but you get what I mean haha

We had a couple of computers in my grade school in the mid-late 70s. We had a Commodore PET computer with a whopping 4k of RAM. My geeky friend programmed a little animation based on the movie Alien. Pretty impressive considering it was black and white keyboard symbols only. In the 80s you had to be kind of rich kid and/or a nerd to have a computer at home. Nerds built their own computers. Rich kids got Apples.
Norwegian Blue That did not stop the lucky owners of many Apple II sets to try their hands at programming.
And Apple II prospered (where IBM and Texas I and others didn’t) by selling hardware anyone could try to develop and sell software for.
Nerds came in all “money sizes”, some had Radio Shack TRS-80 or Atari, some Apple, some built their stuff from scratch with components they mail ordered.
Nowadays every guy in our school without a console just builds their own PC instead lmao.

Emails in 1979? Must be a millenial...
C Herrera even if TCP/IP may not yet have been fully completed, there were other networking protocols that allowed messages being transferred in a mail like fashion. TCP/IP was made to be more robust in a world that almost went into nuclear meltdown due to the Cold War. In other words, the military needed a network solution that was decentralised and could still be up even if part of the network were destroyed.

what a great dad! oh the memories... i used to load stuff with a tape recorder. wow those were the days :)
I like the poster in the back ground some company should use it
Underrated

as crazy as it sounds I wish I could have experience having a father like this individual.
What an awesome dad! Makes me want to call my dad. I was lucky, he is cool and supportive too. But it never fails to amaze me when I see supportive parents who are able to see value in their kids’ activities, even if they don’t fully understand it themselves. It takes humility and it’s a very important and special thing
Edit: also hilarious to see that dude at the end try and come in and school the situation, but realise the kid knew more than him!
A kid that age doing similar today is still impressive. Computer interfaces and GUIs have advanced to the point where you don't need the knowledge he would have had to have to get something interesting out of that machine. I think there are more kids like him today than in his time that are learning and understanding computers on a very detailed level, but not every kid who amazes an adult with their knowledge of computers is at that level.
I've never heard "Turn it off and back on again" referred to as the ultimate reset. I'm going to have to use that.
Think he may be in Stranger Things
allanbarr1975 hahahahahaha
allanbarr1975 I know wtf so many kids looked like that in late 70s early 80s.

I love how attentive this man is to the screen. He has absolutely no idea what his child is doing, but he cares, because his child is doing it. This is true paternal love on display, and this video represents the intersection between cold technological genius and warm human understanding.
This is my dad and mom when I fix the internet or connect CZcams to my tv.
What I love is how the father understands what the future could be with computers, but all of his thoughts came back around to how his son was doing.
there is a Facebook group called "You Know You Grew Up In Cedar Rapids, IA in the 70's & 80's " perhaps you could post the video there and ask if anyone recognizes him.
Wow, impressive; you actually found him. Nice.
what? where
is there a video?
did he ?
I want to know
Just in case you're still asking: Yes, he was found, and his name is "Jay Ehrlich" . He lives in Chicago and he's currently a lawyer (this is information provided by David Hoffman himself in one of the multiple replies you can find here). So yeah, Jay probably just lost interest in programming somehow, or kept it as a mere hobby. - found in comments
Lex Blazer - I just watched your video on how to make canibus tea, and then I saw that you posted a comment here. Kind of a funny coincidence.
This guy seems like a great dad. So calm and supportive.
Kid: Programs stuff
Faze Kay: OMG bro your actually insane!
Omg bro your comment is actually insane
