Channel: What's Inside?

[14]
it was 1981 and this computer the IBM
[18]
5150 came out
[19]
IBM found a way to mass produce a
[21]
computer that many people could use I
[23]
remember my mom she had a data entry job
[25]
and she used to sit there at nights in
[27]
the same room that I would sleep in at
[28]
2:00 in the morning and she would type
[30]
away but it was the first ever personal
[32]
computer that allowed that to happen
[34]
both Mac what's inside I'm Lincoln this
[37]
is Dan today we are going to see what's
[39]
inside of two computers that both have
[42]
the claim world for its first this one
[46]
is probably the one that you're thinking
[47]
this box looks so old it looks like the
[49]
world's first ever computer it is not
[51]
but this is the world's first personal
[54]
computer have you ever heard of the term
[56]
PC I didn't ever build that you just
[59]
know it tasty even then right no no this
[61]
video about the world's first personal
[63]
computers actually sponsored by a
[64]
friends at keno they sent us this
[66]
computer building kit and why is this
[70]
unique because you can build to code it
[72]
yourself like that anyone can build and
[74]
code themselves
[75]
Lincoln is how old one one one one and a
[80]
half this IBM 5150 was built in 1981
[83]
that was when I was one year old Lincoln
[86]
is 11 years old and this is the kind of
[88]
computer
[88]
that he has these days we need to set up
[90]
this IBM 5150 that I'm going to build a
[92]
camo computer chips perfect let's go
[95]
yeah I get it
[97]
[Music]
[101]
there's numbers and emojis that's like a
[109]
computer mouse got your mouse and your
[111]
keyboard on as tiny link and pulled out
[114]
his keyboard and look at the size of
[116]
this thing super light not even a pound
[118]
heavy let's look at the keyboard on the
[120]
world's first personal computer this bit
[122]
right there
[123]
there's might be a slight difference
[126]
this is probably four or five pounds
[128]
right here it's a mechanical keyboard
[130]
which are super cool listen to the
[132]
buttons aren't even pushing that hard
[134]
prepare your buttons big difference yeah
[141]
mechanical keyboards are super assuring
[142]
I heard that there's an entire subreddit
[143]
that's all dedicated to mechanical
[145]
keyboards and how they work so maybe
[147]
somebody will take that apart I think
[148]
they're super interesting we have two
[149]
different guides here look at this thing
[154]
this is just a little tiny one how to
[155]
make a computer this is a keyboard since
[158]
people don't know what keywords are back
[159]
then push this button and then this
[161]
button but once it's all set up
[163]
you should look as cool as these guys
[165]
right here yes does kay and I'll have
[170]
his cool people in its guidebook I don't
[172]
think so just due to this mustache right
[174]
here IBM you win so it comes with a few
[177]
different cables
[178]
there's the HDMI that you can connect to
[180]
a TV screen here's your computer what
[183]
this is called
[184]
a Raspberry Pi 3 model Lincoln does like
[187]
Pi and so of course he likes this cuz
[189]
it's Raspberry Pi so right now with
[192]
Lincoln is building his own kit he's
[194]
looking at all the instructions
[195]
[Music]
[197]
oh yeah all right big that's what this
[201]
is are you seeing the size difference in
[204]
this plug in this and the back but now
[207]
it's time for our monitors oh isn't that
[209]
a beaut
[209]
right there yeah what a beauty so what
[212]
we used to say in 1991 funny is that
[214]
that's pretty neat thanks and power
[217]
first I'm going to turn on the monitor
[223]
oh yeah I hear something you doing
[229]
something
[230]
ouch it shocks me Oh
[236]
Microsoft DOS ms-dos version 2.1
[239]
copyright 1981 current date is Tuesday 1
[244]
1 1980 this is before I was born
[248]
wow that's old let go up wait Stella
[258]

[266]
whoa back in the day we didn't have SD
[271]
cards we had these these are the these
[275]
are a little floppy disk poppy then
[280]
close it boom they have 160 kilobytes at
[284]
least the first year did this little
[285]
computer right here 128 gigabytes we can
[287]
put in here just wanted to point that
[289]
out because it is amazing this key no
[290]
computer KQ connects you any monitor
[293]
computer follow the word white rabbit or
[297]
a BB I but you just hit a Rabb hole it's
[307]
the matrix link pi really nice today
[312]
yeah there we can make almost anything
[313]
with toad hi computer type say hello
[317]
hello I'm the first mentor hack
[326]
minecraft this is all us alright so
[329]
Lincoln basically has is a little
[330]
computer
[331]
[Music]
[334]
what this is amazing
[338]
are you building towers of bones why not
[342]
there we go yeah blew up the world I can
[349]
do much more than that though all I had
[351]
on this was Oregon Trail
[355]
so right now we're connecting to the
[357]
Internet awesome this is a fully working
[359]
computer you can play minecraft you can
[361]
watch YouTube videos you can stream
[363]
music you could read emails use whatsapp
[365]
with this thing 2017 this is what an 11
[368]
year old can get for a computer it's not
[370]
like you are just watching things on a
[372]
computer you're actually building things
[373]
and you're coding things and you're
[374]
learning things so for kids this is a
[377]
pretty cool thing that want to learn how
[378]
to code or even for adults as I'm
[380]
filming this video the current price of
[382]
the Kino kit is $149.90 you can look at
[385]
the link in the description to get your
[386]
own or check it out super pricing is
[388]
that computers back in my day kind of
[390]
terrible to all of you that love history
[393]
just know hundreds of thousands maybe
[395]
even millions of these things were made
[397]
we bought this on it on eBay I know it's
[399]
historical they don't make them anymore
[400]
but people also don't use them that's
[402]
why we got it for cheap on the Internet
[403]
so there you go haters on reddit reddit
[406]
that's for you that is laughs that's dry
[417]
hay thickness of this looks really
[422]
similar to the video game monitor and
[424]
that there's one thing I learned from
[425]
that they did say there are gases in it
[428]
that could be dangerous hold your breath
[438]
we've been gone for a few minutes it is
[441]
still making crackling noises look out
[455]
thick the glasses and this monitor very
[458]
similar to the pac-man machine that we
[460]
destroyed and then you have the silver
[463]
on the back that stuff is actually
[464]
something you don't want to breathe in
[468]
IBM 5150 monitor check it out in there
[473]
taking you in guys look at everything
[476]
inside of there these coils right there
[478]
those copper coils sometimes those will
[481]
maintain energy even after you've
[483]
unplugged it so you've got to be really
[484]
careful around that that is so cool
[492]
looking you seeing this well it's like
[495]
dusty so oK we've got a motherboard here
[498]
I'm a bird here do not remove this cover
[500]
train service personnel only there we go
[506]
it looks like these panels right here
[509]
are additional ones that you could add
[511]
on the add additional memory additional
[513]
RAM all the way in its these chip boards
[515]
and then all of this on the top there's
[518]
a speaker right here on the side
[520]
this right here is Lincoln's entire
[522]
computer it could fit inside of there
[524]
this computer is still alive I am NOT
[526]
going to damage these boards and we're
[528]
gonna put it back together with the
[529]
screws yes we killed the monitor but
[532]
that's as far as we're gonna go it's
[533]
crazy oh technology now is so small
[536]
compared to this and it can do so much
[539]
thanks to keno for sponsoring this video
[541]
if you'd like to get your own computer
[542]
kit we have a link in the description
[543]
below and you can get free shipping on
[545]
it so start creating with technology
[547]
rather than just consuming it check out
[549]
what other creators are doing this is
[551]
really cool and I love the inside of it
[553]
and it's more than I expected
[555]
we out
[557]
[Music]
[557]
[Applause]
[559]
[Music]
[564]
so when you play Minecraft all you do is
[565]
blow stuff up no I actually do build
[568]
some really cool things example on your
[569]
own destroying things No
