MIT has turned out some of the finest scientific minds over the 100 years, many of whom have gone on to create revolutionary technologies and companies and much like Bell labs which I did a video on a few years back is still in the fray and working on the cutting edge of things like AI, Robotics, Biotech etc. So this video is a look at how MIT created the future.

I love these "where would the world be right now without this" type of topic. Paul, now please take it 1 step further. Bell Labs, MIT, DARPA, and other institutions have spawned technologies for verious industries, BUT, there is one industry they all have supported. The same industry the USSR helped to support. Space Exploration! Not just NASA, but all the space agencies around the world, have, a lot of times with the help of those previously mentioned institutions, developed technologies to be able to communicate with astronauts in space and on the Moon, to navigate to distant locations (to include asteroids), and even to just keep electronics and humans alive in the harsh environment of space. PLEASE do an indepth video of all the spinoffs from technologies developed/matured for space exploration, that enable our way of life today and have made our lives better physically, tangibly.

Great video! One huge thing you didn't mention - MIT was the birthplace of the "open-source software" movement as it was the place that Richard Stallman attended (who later set up the GNU Project - still going today). The GNU project are responsible for gcc and a lot of other software too.

@CloseToTheEdge89 7 месяцев назад

FUCKING SHIT!!!!!!!!

@kjyu4539 7 месяцев назад

Richard Stallman, the great he founded/created the Free Software Movement, the GNU project and the GNU GPL copyleft license the term Open source or Open source movement came later by others, and probably those who preferred to not to hint to the 'Free' (free as in freedom not as free beer) and didn't want to have or reveal a philosophical/political standpoint... anyway Free software and Open source software are in practice technically almost always the same... they have the same or compatible licenses nowadays we have an ocean of free/open-source software in almost every area thanks to guys like Richard Stallman... he really changed the path of the history for better... of course many others and even some commercial companies contributed and helped to these movements, otherwise the humanity could not achieve what is achieved now, but Richard Stallman was the person who started and founded it all. he was a founder and, for a long time, a great leader

Actually, no, this is not a great video. It is a mediocre video, with content that even a 12 year old could put together as a school project. No, the videos that Curious Droid makes now compared to before is just sad to watch. It seems to me that this guy is content in making videos that are quite effortless to make. No actual research and no effort. Just wiki stuff and pics from the web. Easy to do. So, like I said, no, this is not a great video... at best it is an example of what level NOT to stoop to when you have over 1 million subscribers.

Paul, Thank you for reviewing MIT's involvement in "Revolutionising the Future." I am an alumnus (ChE'74) and was on campus as "email" was developing. It seemed cute that you could leave an electronic note on someone else's computer, but I did not see the worldwide value back then. Thank you for all the kind words. It does pay to be in the right place at the right time,, and MOT and Vannever Bush. it helps to know the right people.

@michaelmoorrees3585 7 месяцев назад

11:15 - "Core" didn't need power to preserve its content, but reading a core "word" erased that word upon reading, known as a "destructive read", the content of that "read", had to be rewritten to that same address. Not a problem for the Seeburg jukebox models that also used core memory. Because in a jukebox, the "erase" (aka clear), was usually the next operation, in the older mechanical mechanisms. The Apollo guidance computers used core for RAM, an "Rope" a near core equivalent, for its ROM, where the program was stored. FYI, for those not familiar with broader computer use. Most common users, think the program (or app) has to be read from the "drive" (serial FLASH, in cellphones and Firesticks) to RAM, to execute. But that's just in the "general computing" world, that uses an OS (operating system). In the "embedded" world, where more computing actually sits, the program is stored in ROM, and executes directly from the ROM, with RAM only used for storing variables, so a lot less RAM (multiple orders of magnitude less) is needed. These types of devices boot up instantly, without the delay associated with turning on your computer or cellphone. Even those have "boot ROMs", to initiate their start up.

As great as MIT is, SRI, at Stanford University was likely more involved with the Internet and GUI than MIT. Englebart is probably as big or bigger than some of the people listed in the video, for making computers common and the technologies for intercommunication. Still, Englebart got his ideas from a 1945 Vannevar Bush article, "As We Might Think" for a Memex machine (what we'd call an iPhone today). Engelbart made his life mission to make Memex a reality, and he did.

@johndemeritt3460 6 месяцев назад

Generally, this was a good video, highlighting technology as A driver of OUR futureS. However, this didn't go into the truly important questions: how did technology developers and entrepreneurs try to sell their new technologies; and why did people buy them? The latter is crucial, because as Rogers noted in Diffusion of Innovations (5th ed, 2003, Free Press), people often adopt technologies to solve very different reasons than technologists and entrepreneurs offered them. Those technologies often have to be adapted, both to different uses AND to fit better with the mutually constructed social realities of the people adopting the technologies. The reason I mention all this is that I took a Master of Science degree in Studies of the Future from University of Houston, Clear Lake. I went into the program thinking that technology drives society. I came out understanding that before technologies change society, society selects the technologies that will drive those changes. And it wasn't until I almost completed a PhD in Sociology that I understood why this is the case. Rogers' Diffusion of Technology is an essential read if you want to understand why.

Theyre "successful" because they all made connections and then went on to take positions of influence while maintianing their shared interests obv, it doesnt even require a genius level intellect or some kind of back breaking work ethic just shake the right hands and stick to the program and you'll get all the wealth and power you want

@gigakoresh 7 месяцев назад

@@Dogman262That too of course, but MIT is different because they actually require practical academic achievements, unlike some other similar places like Harvard, which only require money and connections. That's why Harvard graduates usually become rich, but hardly celebrated, while MIT people are quite a bit more valued in society.
