The 60's was the golden age of computing, prove me wrong

Sorry gramps but I prefer programming languages that save.
Good luck with those 1000 lines of BASIC.

there was nothing very golden about shitty vector displays, time-share systems, magnetic core rom and ram, tape or punchcards. it was painfully slow, the systems were massive and consumed kilowatts of power.
>Neither in 60s nor in 00s
a genuine fucking retard.

Not just that, but the point I was trying to imply with was that in the '00s people actually had pocket computers called PDAs which is why Tucker had one because the show was set in the present. You're talking about the '60s, though.

>not the 70s where everything was invented that we rediscover now
This entire thread is brainlets.

you have never worked with a mainframe. i can tell.

Going beyond core memory was a mistake. Weren't they thinking about data security at all when coming up with memory types where the physical location of each bit couldn't be seen by the naked eye?!?

I lament the fact I never got to grow up in an era of constraint. Programming is boring now.

Stop breathing.

This Computers stand in the aviation Museum in Kiew in a Mi-26? Am I right? I recognize that.

whew that's a stupid statement, gj!

We have VR porn

you know the bits themselves in core memory can't be seen either, right? they're encoded using magnetism, which is invisible, no matter how large the cores are

Kinda correct, had this thing always with me while in uni during mid 90s.

Implying magnetization is invisible and undetectable.

>undetectable
are you retarded? if it was undetectable, how the fuck could it be used as memory?

i can respect that opinion
i feel the 80s was the golden age of PERSONAL computing but not computing in general

i appreciate the lack of normies. it's too bad that dumb teenage girls can ruin our society's discussion of every issue by using twitter.

Only if you were a straight white male, user

I'd argue that the 60s were the golden age for electronics in general. Yes, today our computers are millions of times faster and generally everything in the field has improved.
However, those were the years of pioneering and first innovations. Things were a lot harder to to with analog electronics and even though none of it is still used today (everything, even the simplest things are now digital) - designing machines with analogue technology in mind took a lot more effort
Those were the years of pioneering

Recently I took upon myself to build a fully analog oscilloscope from scratch. It's laughable how much easier it is to do it with digital components, you need only the basic understanding of electronics and a bit of programming. Designing your own analogue scope is a motherfucker
