Operating Systems: Crash Course Computer Science #18
Season 1
Episode 18
So as you may have noticed from last episode, computers keep getting faster and faster, and by the start of the 1950s they had gotten so fast that it often took longer to manually load programs via punch cards than to actually run them!
