Why Enigma is not the 1st computer? Real Story of Z1 

Enjoy watching! P.S.: Our digital assistant doesn't speak German very well. We apologize for the misspelling :))

Hey man thank u so much for featuring my clip in this video!! Your channel is fantastic!!! It's about time Mr. Zuse gets the recognition he deserves. He was truly a genius!! I've made the main part of the Z1 (the ALU and datapath) in minecraft because this computer is very special to me. It's just so fascinating. BTW, the video is not actually mine, I got it from this interview with professor Raul Rojas, a computer scientist who met Zuse in person and has spent years studying his machines. I can't find the original clip now, but definitely check out his other work he's a legend. You're the GOAT. And Zuse was too. Btw, the Z1 in the museum (made in 1989 cuz the original one was destroyed during a bombing, which is also unrealiable) is getting an inspection/repair this year!! Thank u sir. Big up!!

Zuse is one of the greatest inventors ever, he deserves much more attention. No Steve Jobbs who was just a salesman, he didn't invent anything! Apart from marketing his products. Zuse, on the other hand, built something that nobody at the time had the slightest idea what it would become.

More like Steve Wozniak then Jobs. Wozniak created the Apple 1 and 2. Steve Jobs only really was able to create when he had a talented team around him (though he knew how to manage and drive them to achieve great things). Different skills but Wozniak's capabilities more closely align with Zuse.

The added "AI Generated" clips were impressive... I can already see how AI technology is going to practically rewrite the rule book on web media in the not-too-distant future.

I reside somewhere in Africa where people often don't think highly of computers because of the vices associated with them. As a Computer Scientist in Africa, this is the 3rd time I have come across the saying that Zeus did or designed the 1st computer. Apart from Zeus, we have some other Technocrats in ancient European countries who are frontiers in inventing remarkable stuff but they were not recognized for it because only a few people knew about them, some of what we live by today was based on their inputs. Credit must be given to whom it should be given. Germany is a great country when it comes to innovation but it took them so long to embrace it. The US controlled the world because of its insatiable thirst for tech. I think what happened to Zeus was as a result of the following: living in a country that did not deserve him then and, living in a country without a vision to consider the power and the future impact of digital technology.

I wonder what he wouldve achieved with proper funding and a great team.

Many thanks for this amazing Video! I, myself, had the chance to sot on a real Z32 at Arithmeum Bonn, the Museum for calculating Machines. It was an honor!

Great video, I think history is turning towards Zeus being the original inventor of the digital computer. It must be noted at the time analogue 'computers' were also in use and had been for decades. It was tough for digital computers to compete with these devices until a fuller understanding of their flexibility was understood. Early digital computers however were not that flexible either, so it took until the Manchester 'Baby' in 1948 for a flexible, programmable computer with storage and inputs and outputs to be created and understood as the first complete digital computer in the world.

I was waiting for your video for a long time. Finally ❤❤ Keep it up ❤ 🥰

I saw it at a museum in getmany its really something!!! I think the Z1 was actually trinary ?

It's so terrifying to see media can provide false information as a true. And people believe that as a fact. 😢

Really good video! I'm working with the Z1 and can confirm that the most important topics were mentioned! Keep up!

Your videos are so underrated!

Altho I can clearly tell the AI generated images apart I appreciate it being clearly stated 👍 Nice story.

Which ai did you use to generate those videos?

I think the title should be "Why ENIAC..." Not "Why ENIGMA....."

magnificent!😮

Finally a video for my username

Thank you for bringing this often ignored part of history to more peoples attention

great

I can see how ai is going to change youtube, very fascinating !

"...but who knows, some day a machine like this may checkup on your income tax" - oh, yeah, this came sooner than later

i guess in a way it's like the frank whittle story, he was the father of the jet engine.. no one listened to him in his own country of the game changing potential.. except the germans did, and the got their hands on his research and beat everyone with jet engines in WW2 ..

I thought Ada Lovelace (Byron) and Charles Babbage got the first with the analytics machine in 1837

Hey

"He invented Computers to early in life, the world wasn't ready for it?" I think it's the other way around. It's bad luck for Mr. Zuse, but think about the consequences if his computers would have worked only few years earlier. The benefit of his machines would have been indisputable in the development of weapons. The Nazis could have developed stronger weapons with more range. I'm sure they would have lost the war in the end, but then with much more people dead. Sometimes it's just better, that something comes a little bit to late...

The antikythera mechanism is the world's first known computer.

Hi, yeah, once again among an almost infinite number of times, the obeses attributed themselves the work of others - as a matter of fact, they would be _nothing_ without what was brought to them by immigration. Very nice documentary that brings the church at the center of the village :)

Bug was in use in the 1850s with the same meaning as today. IT WAS NOT, NOT inventeted by the finding of a moth in the Mark I! SERIOUSLY!! If you go to the trouble to read the original note written about the moth, it says its the first time a "bug" was caused by an actual bug. Clearly, they used the term "bug" before this incident. Telegraph operators used the term "bug!" And at least do enough research to know how to pronounce the name of your man subject! 🤬

India🇮🇳😮😅

"ENIAC, in full Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer, the first programmable general-purpose electronic digital computer" ... "The Z1 did not have a conditional jump, and was therefore not a universal computer, or in mathematical terms, it was not Turing complete" At least try and get the original claim right.
