The Computer Programme (4): It's On The Computer (Data Storage & Retrieval)

[@Giskard1000]

Insightful comments by Rex Malik right at the end!

[@marcel911]

Mark Alldridge He needn't have worried. He was dead 10 years later.

I want to watch more of The Computer Programme. Watching people use computers is as interesting as I use one like a keyboard specialist.

Interesting looking at those "big" disks while having a 256 GB Micro SD card on my thumb!

23:45 Rex Malik foreseeing the Data Protection Act there, a good 16 years before it was law.

7:05 with all the projector lights in there shining in UV, whatever info there was inside the poor UV Erasable EPROM is now part of the world entropy...

“32,000 characters is about 12 pages in this book”? So, 2,666 characters per page. I don’t think that’s right?

[@hugbugDS]

that big computer might hold 32 000 000 bytes but my one can hold 17 billion lol

[@blake112x]

Watching this just made me appreciate Windows 10 a lot more.

[@WvhKerkhof]

Funny enough, MP's still use pen and paper while the whole world use telephones to write things up. 2019 UK is far behind.

17 bilion ? U got OLD HDD :P 17 000 000 000 = "only" 17GB. I own HDD with 2 000 000 000 000 (10^12 = Tera) bytes capacity + RAID0 Array with same capability. As for 32 000 000 bytes... My multi-core CPU has 10 000 000 bytes of memory build into it (ie. cache) and its size (overall chip size, not just cache), is 294mm^2 :E
