The Evolution of Computing (1815 - 2025) | From ENIAC Computers to High-Level OOP Written Languages

From Ada Lovelace to modern CPUs with billions of transistors, programming has come a long way. But what’s really happening inside your computer or smartphone when you click a mouse, press a key, or launch a game?

This is The Evolution of Computers or How Transistors and Software Programs Work

In this video, we’ll break down:
✅ The history of programming – from human “computers” to compilers
✅ The role of electricity, electronics, and transistors
✅ How logic gates and bits become memory, CPUs, and RAM
✅ How overclocking works (and why it can fry your PC)
✅ How programming languages evolved from binary to Python
✅ The building blocks of code: variables, loops, conditions, and more
✅ A video game example of how your mouse click turns into on-screen action Whether you’re a beginner curious about how computers actually “think” or just want to understand the hidden symphony behind your favorite video games, this video will make programming clear and fascinating.
