Morning guys,

The video shows a transition from mechanical to electronic computing devices in the 20th century. I believe this video talked about the development of electronic computers, focusing on the transition from transistors to Range tables to help look at environmental conditions. It covers the role of key inventions and how they shaped modern computing. When I was a kid, I saw my grandfather used wooden computational calculator in the video( the one that counts the cows) and thought it was a toy. I want to say that we come a long way to process completely transformed commerce, and daily life through computer and advanced technology.

The 4th video, I had to watch this one three times because this is a more complex level. What I learned from the video today is there are three fundamental operations in Boolean Algebra: a NOT, an AND, and an OR operation.
In this and the previous videos the ‘units of discussion’ had to do with ones and zeros and those only in pairs at most. She discusses about groups of eight, sixteen, thirty-two, and sixty-four. The Boolean login table is also interesting to me but my computer science knowledge is limited so I couldn’t understand it completely. However I got the formula: F+F is true, T+F is F, F+T is F and T+T is true.

Thank you guys!

“Design for Information: An Introduction to the Histories, Theories, and Best Practices Behind Effective Information Visualizations” by Isabel Meirelles is a great Ebook from the Library however I haven’t read it yet
