🌌 Fall Asleep to the History of Computers | Relaxing Computer Science Lecture

😴 Struggle to fall asleep? Let this calm Computer Science lecture guide you into rest.
In this episode, we’ll gently walk through the history of computers—from the abacus and the Antikythera mechanism, to ENIAC, mainframes, microchips, and the internet. Then we’ll explore the basics of analog vs. digital data and why computers rely on binary.

This isn’t a fast-paced tech video—it’s a slow, steady lecture you can fall asleep to. Learning is a bonus, but sleep comes first. 🌙

🖥️ What’s inside:

  • Ancient calculating tools (abacus, slide rule, Antikythera)

  • The Jacquard loom & punched cards

  • George Boole, Claude Shannon, and Alan Turing

  • ENIAC, vacuum tubes, and transistors

  • Mainframes, Apollo, and the rise of PCs

  • Integrated circuits, microprocessors, and the internet

  • Analog vs. digital, sampling, binary, bits & bytes

✨ Whether you’re a student, a curious beginner, or just someone who wants a relaxing bedtime lecture, this is your invitation to drift off peacefully.
