Unintentional ASMR 💾 Relaxing Retro Macintosh Demonstration (1984)

Reupload - applied a stronger de-esser audio filter to reduce hissing sounds.
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.

[@BenjaminGessel]

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…

[@strangementalitypaperYT]

@@BenjaminGessel We still don't have enough women in programming. I'm a teacher, and you'd be surprised how many girls don't want to do things that are traditionally a sausage fest.

[@BenjaminGessel]

@@strangementalitypaperYT To be quite honest, I’m not even sure if Susan Kare is an actual programmer. The wiki page says that she is an artist and graphic designer. Either way, I don’t really have too much emotionally invested in this women in STEM fields thing, etc. 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…

[@strangementalitypaperYT]

@@BenjaminGessel Women aren't that well represented in STEM actually, and there are still a LOT of families out there who discourage their girls from even working or going to college. Do you know one female software developer? I don't. What about a female electrical engineer? Again, I don't know one. As far as menial jobs, I'd say the most menial and disagreeable "job" of all is one exclusively occupied by females -- housewife.

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.

[@TheStunnerFTW]

She is relaxing and seems relaxing. Also anyone else caught the way she goes “you can keep, literally up to..” i thought it was kinda wholesome

[@womandela7225]

My husband commented this morning that one of the major causes of the frantic spirit that people seem to have now is Starbucks. Back then, we just weren't as caffeinated as we are now.

[@shawnvague7253]

I kept looking for this everywhere!!! thank you for bringing it back!!

[@jimbobzooter4580]

It’s so interesting every detail she had to explain back then that is now just information we take as a given like “the icon color is highlighted so mac knows that you want to do something with it”

[@teddybears4life240]

I luv when she says WE'RE MOVING INTO THE 80s...That's really cool.

[@spursnation4737]

Her voice is so soothing. I could listen to her all day but might fall asleep

[@patrickwatson3042]

Wow, this brings back memories!! They were just getting some of these into schools in my area when I graduated high school in '84. We had a Heathkit computer as well as a few of these, and we saved our programs on cassette tapes. How far we've come in nearly 40 years.... Thanks for uploading this, it's a treat both for ASMR AND a stroll down memory lane!

Patrick listen, 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. The mouse only had 1 click button for people with 1 finger instead of the option using 2.

[@elizabethm3327]

"We're moving into the '80's" 😂 The cutting edge technology in 1984. Awww 🤗

[@pandyzackgaming8975]

Growing up I always had some teachers that I enjoyed listening to more than others, some of their voices would put my head in a very relaxed place and very tuned in. Seeing this video makes me wonder if those teachers had unintentional ASMR voices haha

[@Zyphera]

I love the new version. Good work!

[@evathegrand]

This feels and looks like such a nice way to use a computer! Its like its own little small world. So cute ❤

[@jennw6809]

If only Macs still worked this well today.

[@scottwells8064]

Am I the only one who thinks the guy asking the questions sounds like a mildly tranquilized David Letterman?

[@handzonradio]

Notice how she says “say bold”, “say cut”. We can actually do this now. Takes me back. Got my first computer in 1980 Tandy TRS80. So when Mac came out with windows and you didn’t have to hook the computer up to the TV, that was revolutionary!!😅

[@johnnyrokkit]

I learned BASIC on a TRS80 😅

[@BKupchuck57]

hey thanks! this is a great video, love the audio on this version.

[@findcalm]

thanks I appreciate it .. should've used a stronger de esser effect it in the first place.

[@burntgod7165]

Such a really straightfoward explanation that we could do with these days. An excellent explanation for laypeople.

[@chrislobby7447]

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.

[@adgtheone]

The ASMR is strong with this one!

[@avidsquarehead]

Another gem to add to my 3/4 speed ASMR playlist! Her voice somehow reminds me of the woman speaking on Little Fluffy Clouds.

[@dcastro5551]

3/4 speed is key. 😎 Try the Joe Rogan episode with Brian Cox... 10/10

[@AlbumReviewChannel]

You might still see that in the desert

[@mercster]

Better off finding a sedate documentary with actual information about history or something, instead of fetishizing a physical sensation.

[@saturn1returns]

The Orb ❤️

[@katscotty]

Or the American lady talking about curtains

[@stitch9677]

This might be the best video on youtube haha

[@prettyboy1970]

Previous computer displays were green dot matrix text against a black background. Macs blew everyone's mind with letter-quality text.

[@inainoslo3011]

I was born in 83 and grew up with computers, my step father was a computer engineer. He would download these floppy disk games to me. Skifree among others. Loved my childhood 😊

[@cyberneticshadow5572]

Born in 80, Kingsquest😅

[@drakefruit]

Looked at her wiki page, looks like she went on to design solitaire for Windows, a ton of icons for Windows and Facebook, and even some coin designs in the USA if I'm reading that last part correctly.

[@rayyavocado]

I love love love how shes introducing things that we now just know already as a new concept its amazing

[@vanhopecomedy]

This is so relaxing

[@darkprose]

Wow. Fantastic. I also realized that I could not describe using this computer as well as she did. It’s so intuitive now, there’s no easy description that comes to mind. If anything, I would probably overexplain everything. Just like...I’m doing...right...now.

[@JustVaughn.]

I love hearing your commentary before every video. I miss it. You sitting in your dimly lit room on your comfy bed introducing the experience you're sharing with us! Vids like this are greata too

[@findcalm]

thanks for the feedback .. will make more videos where I talk

[@benjwilliams5104]

The way that that word processor FLOODED my brain with memories of elementary school in the computer lab... By then it was the early 90's, and things looked a little different, but i remember changing things to bold and outline text, typing things and playing with the typography....printing little poems out on the old dot matrix printers. I consider myself very lucky to have been alive to see that.

[@eddie_retro6192]

If you're looking for the source, it's an episode from The Computer Chronicles. They have a KZbin channel with all their episodes from 1981 - 2002. Their channel is "The Computer Chronicles".

[@TheBeastlyBurrito]

Thank you for editing the audio!

[@findcalm]

thanks for watching!

[@shethewriter]

Crazy that you could even adjust time between clicks back then , that’s really cool

[@asmrbilingue]

I wonder what a computer was like in 1984... "Explain what an icon is... " Oh, wow. Retro is definitely a good word.

[@cciccone61]

I swear this helps me go right to sleep. This woman’s voice is calming.

[@applesomething]

I love how she says Umm, and I don’t usually like that word. Also, the loud clacking of the Lisa keyboard is great. I miss that sound.

[@underconfident_asmr]

ASMR effect from my childhood right there. Nifty 😊

[@LM-jj5lt]

I was blown away by this in 1984 and she did a great job demonstrating something that was totally new to millions of us who were still using paper documents and file folders.

[@neilcarter77]

Sound of that clunky keyboard brings back memories!!!

[@snap-vo6pp]

She has a calming voice, I could listen to her the whole day.

[@Oyuki-Mayonesa]

Oh yess. I want to learn to talk like that. It’s like a walking meditation 🧘‍♀️
