The ValorosoIT channel talks about Retro Computers and Vintage Electronics at 360°!
Here is a nice historical documentary: THE HISTORY OF COMPUTERS. We start from the ABACUS and we arrive up to the ELECTROMECHANICAL CALCULATORS.
The documentary was made by Davide Fornasiero of HistoryBit:

HistoryBit is a collection of retro computers, computing machines and accessories. You have no idea how many computers I was able to see when I went to visit HistoryBit!
Commodore, IBM, Apple, mechanical computing machines...
This is the first episode of the documentary on the history of the computer: it starts from the abacus and reaches the electromechanical calculators of the late 19th century.
The text of the video, for those who prefer to read the history of the computer, can be found here:
