    Love this old school 1984 demonstration of an early macintosh computer. Edited audio, looped it so it's longer. Couldn't find the original source anymore - lucky I had this one on my hard drive.

    This woman is a legend in computing. I once got to work with another one of the original programmers/designers. This small team invented the mouse, the idea of icons, the idea of them existing spatially on a screen…so many things that just “feel natural” today when we use computers, were thought out and created by a small group.

      I guess. If a chick really wants to go into science, math, technology and/or engineering, she will, regardless of anyone else of the same sex having done so. I would think that who inspires someone to go into a certain field may have something to do with their gender at times, but to be quite frank, there is really only a passing interest in the gender of someone that a person TRULY admires. It’s QUITE a bit more about what a person has done, etc. that matters most…

      But on some level, it DOES come down to how men and women are naturally “hard wired”. You’re only going to see considerably more women in STEM subjects when men don’t really do that stuff much anymore. For whatever reason, if that ever happens. Chatting with my roommate just now, he stated that women are already well represented in STEM subjects. He wants to know why women are not more prominent in menial, dangerous, or disagreeable jobs, like garbage collection. I thought the answer to this was/is so obvious that it’s kind of a humorous sort of deal, regarding all things feminism.
      In short, men are by nature problem solvers. That’s kind of an automatic “bonus” with stem fields…

    It can be hard for people who've grown up with computers to understand what a learning curve there was to using even something this simple, but you have to keep in mind that this kind of computer was like nothing that had ever existed before. I certainly never had a teacher this calm and thorough; the first computer teacher I ever had treated us like we were idiots because we didn't intuitively understand it; she had an aggravating tendency to show us something and then say, "All right, what do you think happens next?" before she'd actually, you know, *explained* it. The class wound up one giant case of, "Well, how the hell would I know, when you haven't told me yet?" Yeah, it's obvious now, but at the time it was completely alien technology. The average person had zero comparable experience or context to draw from.

    Macintosh cared about the small things. Or the things that on face value SEEM small but turn out to be the core value of their approach to an intuitive and easy UI. This hasn't changed for 39 years. You can see the vestigial markers from literally every feature she described and demonstrated in this video still alive today in mac software. The communication of said features in a concise and pleasing manner is also a hallmark of the Apple approach to product and software design. Its nice to see the continuity of a successful design language be propagated and maintained over several decades.

    This should be prescribed to every senior citizen who cannot use computer yet but wants to learn.

    I miss the feel and sound of putting in floppy and 3.5" discs.

    One of the best ASMR videos I've 'heard'. Literally falling asleep on my porch... except that it's morning. And i should be waking up instead 😂

    While I was a bit too young to remember this era of computers (Think I was 2 when this show aired), it always makes me feel like a kid when I watch this. It's been floating around CZcams for long time and I've spent many hours watching it. Love every moment of her presentation.

    I used to loooove computer chronicles. I remember accidentally discovering it flipping through channels, and finding it on one of those public access channels. I remember for me it was channel 56 KDOC. lol It was my ASMR before I knew what ASMR was.

      Yeah PBS was an early purveyor of ASMR. It was also home to Bob Ross and Mister Rogers, and they had an arts and crafts show titled The Art Maker/ Art Chest hosted by Mr Mihuta which is how I first experienced ASMR

      @@jag5014 yessssss PBS was like an Unintentional ASMR Hub back in those days. I used to watch Bob Ross, and there was this Tai Chi show on there with a soft spoken female instructor who had the perfect ASMR voice next to Bob Ross. There were also a couple cooking shows I watched on there for the ASMR effect. Also who didn't love Mr. Rogers back in those days? lol

      You need to understand, if Mac had not exclusively designed a single mouse model catering only to individuals with disabilities featuring a single-click button, but instead created a second option for regular users, I might currently own a Mac instead of a Windows PC. Additionally, I found the Mac face icon stuff unsettling. They were expecting humans to have only 1 finger on each hand.
