Recently found out there were a ton of nerdy space geeks just like me on here who enjoy sharing Alien related...."stuff" I would be insulting some peoples intelligence if I assumed they never saw this before, but for those who are not as hardcore as us, this is one of the best videos I have ever watched.

    I heard the meat of this, but I can't believe it. As for technology, some people think some technology just magically appeared within the last 10-20 years. HA! I looked at history, and was there for a lot, and watching. YEAH, even as a very young kid, I was watching.

    In 1822 a person, who is credited with being the person that CREATED computer science, theorized about a computer device, and designed one.

    In 1884 a guy noticed a few odd characteristics of a device. Although it quickly disappeared, from what I can see, it must have made a BIG impression! The mans name was T.A. EDISON. The device was HUGE for what it did. It was a DIODE. TODAY, they are like microscopic specs in ICs! STILL, though I haven't seen many such diodes, he quickly created a PENTODE!(the worlds first TRANSISTOR!)

    In 1906 a device was developed. This was a key component and could be said to be the beginning of technology as we know it today. The cats whisker diode. OH, it was ALL OVER! People used it in SOLID STATE RADIOS!

    1947 Shockley created the transistor

    1958 The IC was created

    This whole time, the computer evolved from a HUGE archaic dinosaur type device to a far smaller, though still huge, solid state device. STILL, a CPU could consist of SEVERAL PC boards, and memory was old fashioned core memory. Many here would be amazed. It looked like a rather worthless wall with thin wires running through. Every now and then, there was a ferrite bead of sorts, that stored one ****BIT**** of information.

    Around 1971 a company decided to create the first microprocessor to create a calculator. That company's name was INTEL.

    This is just ONE aspect that shows the development of one of the most complicated devices, and how it developed to today's technology. The resistor was created around 1827. In germany, BTW. The capacitor was developed in 1745 in germany. The crystal and all theory was created in 1880 in france.

    OK, am I missing anything? it seems like everything is explained. HECK, the main memory we use today is basically a capacitor bank. Almost 200 years to create the computers we have today.

      According to a statement by Colonel Philip Corso a lot of new technologies came from UFO crash retrievals and then back engineered (@2:30 in the video).... but I guess we will never know the truth.

      More than 100 years ago Tesla filed a patent that laid the foundation for modern day computers.

        We could STILL point to babbage who actually designed such a device and the concept 190 years ago.

        Well, that document about tesla doesn't even describe computers. The talk of doing it so it seemed to have its own intelligence COULD be and HAS BEEN SALES HYPE for a remote control device. BTW I forgot about the RELAY! IT was invented in 1835 apparently. Some early computers DID use relays. SOooooo! Nikola did NOT invent the relay! I never heard of him working with lights or tubes directly, so he did NOT create the diode or pentode. He did NOT work with crystal fabrication, so he didn't create, or even imagine, the transistor. You can call it a stolen invention if you wish, but it wasn't.

        As for the NOR, NAND, OR, AND, XOR logic? Just NAMES given to a concept thousands of years old. Even RELAYS, when they were first created, were used for such things.

    OH.... As for that solidstate diode, etc?

    The rectifying property of crystals was discovered in 1874 by Karl Ferdinand Braun,[5][6][7] and crystal detectors were developed and applied to radio receivers in 1904 by Jagadish Chandra Bose,[8][9] G. W. Pickard[10] and others. Crystal radios were the first widely used type of radio receiver,[11] and the main type used during the wireless telegraphy era.[12] Sold and homemade by the millions, the inexpensive and reliable crystal radio was a major driving force in the introduction of radio to the public, contributing to the development of radio as an entertainment medium around 1920.[13]
    SO, while nikola was trying to evade a draft and BEFORE college, the ability to use crystals as we do today was discovered in 1874. Back THEN, they were used ONLY for rectifying, and called rectifiers, but the more popular name today, FOR THE SAME THING, is SEMICONDUCTOR! YEP, the basis for diodes, transistors, and active ICs.
