00:00:03.470 --> 00:00:04.760 Hello children. 00:00:04.760 --> 00:00:10.760 Today's lesson is all about the new revolution sweeping the world, computers! 00:00:10.760 --> 00:00:17.039 We're going to find out what they do, how they work and how they're going to influence 00:00:17.040 --> 00:00:21.060 your lives, in the future. Let's get stuck in... 00:00:23.900 --> 00:00:24.540 *smash* 00:00:25.840 --> 00:00:27.840 [Refreshing Jazz Music] 00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:35.160 Back in 1994 Intel launched a programme in the United States and Canada called The Journey 00:00:35.170 --> 00:00:37.750 Inside: The Computer. 00:00:37.750 --> 00:00:43.160 The aim of this programme was to help bolster computer education in schools, both for teachers 00:00:43.160 --> 00:00:46.610 and students, in this rapidly changing era. 00:00:46.610 --> 00:00:53.680 To this end, 35,000 free kits were delivered to junior high and middle schools, designed 00:00:53.680 --> 00:00:59.440 to expose children to this new technology, whilst also packing a nice dollop of Intel 00:00:59.440 --> 00:01:03.460 branding into these knowledge hungry young minds. 00:01:03.460 --> 00:01:08.460 The kits were created in combination with the National Science Teachers Association, 00:01:08.460 --> 00:01:12.360 with each pack reported to be worth some $500. 00:01:12.540 --> 00:01:14.400 "And a colourful poster!" 00:01:14.780 --> 00:01:18.500 There were three core editions of this kit. 00:01:18.500 --> 00:01:24.250 The box of the first kit, actually resembled a Desktop PC when unpacked, and was supposed 00:01:24.250 --> 00:01:28.400 to aid the discovery process. 00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:35.360 The second kit, released in 1996 offered updated components & information 00:01:35.900 --> 00:01:41.920 This, is the third kit, released in early 1998, and it's the one I'm going to focus 00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:43.570 on today. 00:01:43.570 --> 00:01:48.460 Presented in this rather nice box, with a carry handle, it's a rather sturdy, portable 00:01:48.460 --> 00:01:49.530 affair. 00:01:49.530 --> 00:01:55.560 But then this is quite a substantial kit, so let's get inside. 00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:57.060 [More uptempo vibrant Tokyo music] 00:01:57.060 --> 00:01:59.420 We find 3 bundles. 00:01:59.420 --> 00:02:01.409 The rather hefty teachers guide. 00:02:01.409 --> 00:02:05.830 A box of video tapes, and the piece'de resistance. 00:02:05.830 --> 00:02:06.900 The Chip Kit. 00:02:06.900 --> 00:02:11.569 But let's go through them in order and work out what we can do here. 00:02:11.569 --> 00:02:17.000 This is all brand new, so everything is wrapped in a lovely film of protective cellophane. 00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:21.400 But get ride of that, and what we find is two destinct sections. 00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:26.621 The first contains 8 units, which are usually broken down into Background information, Teacher 00:02:26.621 --> 00:02:30.900 materials, a Lesson Plan, and a video based guide. 00:02:30.900 --> 00:02:35.730 The background information eases into the section, often describing how history has 00:02:35.730 --> 00:02:39.370 arrived at this point, or the basics of the technology. 00:02:39.370 --> 00:02:43.981 The teacher materials provides an overview of the lesson, the goals and objectives, along 00:02:43.981 --> 00:02:45.820 with helpful resources. 00:02:46.040 --> 00:02:51.020 You've gotta remember that most teachers, especially if this wasn't a dedicated IT teacher, 00:02:51.020 --> 00:02:54.280 were probably quite new to computers as well. 00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:59.760 The Video Plan, covers these elements in regard to the video content, and offers experiment 00:02:59.760 --> 00:03:02.860 guides, some of which we see in the videos. 00:03:04.530 --> 00:03:10.140 The second section, at the back, is a pack of gorgeous, cellophane, overhead projector 00:03:10.140 --> 00:03:11.140 sheets. 00:03:11.140 --> 00:03:14.100 Ohhhh, yes, this is truly the 90s. 00:03:14.100 --> 00:03:18.690 We'll explore these a bit more, as we get into those visual guides. 00:03:18.690 --> 00:03:26.000 So, what about these videos, well, they're in this separate box, and we get 2 VHS tapes. 00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:30.810 The first is the Student Video, and as it says, it's designed to be used in conjunction 00:03:30.810 --> 00:03:32.599 withe the Teacher's Guide. 00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:37.560 Consisting of eight segments approximately 9-10 minutes long, with each segment introducing 00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:41.510 key concepts of the corresponding unit and video lesson. 00:03:41.510 --> 00:03:45.260 Ohhhh, yes look at that fresh VHS tape. 00:03:45.260 --> 00:03:49.660 There's a bit of bubbling on the label, but nothing we can't forgive. 00:03:50.190 --> 00:03:55.800 The teachers Introduction is everything You need to know to begin using the Journey Inside: 00:03:55.819 --> 00:03:56.900 The Computer. 00:03:56.900 --> 00:04:01.250 Follow along as we briefly walk you through the different elements in the kit and show 00:04:01.250 --> 00:04:04.000 you what it contains and how it is organised. 00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.440 I guess we should start here then. 00:04:06.440 --> 00:04:10.500 Let's dive into to some VHS quality content. 00:04:12.140 --> 00:04:17.320 *clicks* *whirrs* 00:04:22.780 --> 00:04:25.440 [light buzz from mechanism] 00:04:28.520 --> 00:04:31.880 [90s style Intel Music] 00:04:32.660 --> 00:04:36.820 "Technology is showing up in some of the most interesting places" 00:04:36.820 --> 00:04:41.430 "In this video, I'll walk you through the different parts in the kit, and show you what 00:04:41.430 --> 00:04:43.020 it contains, and how it's organised.... 00:04:43.020 --> 00:04:47.940 Dr. Irene Smith of the International Society for Technology and Education will join me.... 00:04:47.940 --> 00:04:52.361 together, Dr. Smith and I will suggest ways that you can adapt these materials, for your 00:04:52.361 --> 00:04:54.120 own classroom" 00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:58.620 [90s climax] 00:04:59.500 --> 00:05:05.680 This content was all produced by Design Media Inc, working alongside Intel, out of San Francisco 00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:07.400 in 1997. 00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:10.480 Presented by Ricki Stevenson, along with Dr. Irene Smith, from the International Society 00:05:10.490 --> 00:05:15.380 for Study and Education, we're guided through the kit, and then the subsequent educational 00:05:15.380 --> 00:05:19.220 units, so we, as an educator know what to do. 00:05:19.220 --> 00:05:20.520 Pretty straight forward. 00:05:20.580 --> 00:05:26.500 "We have resistors, capacitors, diodes" 00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:31.139 The basics of how a computer works are also covered, so the teacher doesn't look like 00:05:31.139 --> 00:05:33.919 a complete dumb-ass in front of their students. 00:05:33.919 --> 00:05:40.740 "There's two special words, the computer uses the word AND and it also uses the word OR. 00:05:40.740 --> 00:05:45.389 Alright, you're going to select the ones that are WHITE and THREE LEGGED" 00:05:45.389 --> 00:05:50.460 "We know these are white, but these are white AND 3 legged. 00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:53.480 You're a very good computer Ricki" 00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:56.740 See, the video makes them feel like a plumb instead. 00:05:57.400 --> 00:06:02.100 There's half an hour of this, so it's not highly detailed, but enough to kick things 00:06:02.110 --> 00:06:03.110 off. 00:06:03.110 --> 00:06:05.020 "Students just love to touch and feel, as you know" 00:06:05.020 --> 00:06:09.730 After confirming that students like to touch, several times, we can then bring this 30 minute 00:06:09.730 --> 00:06:13.190 presentation to a close, and move onto the main video. 00:06:13.190 --> 00:06:17.620 "Your students are going to have fun in this unit.... fascinating" 00:06:19.280 --> 00:06:24.640 *clicking* *whirring* 00:06:33.400 --> 00:06:34.280 [90s Intel Music] 00:06:34.289 --> 00:06:39.639 This is the Students video, which takes a very different approach, and is actually, 00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:41.180 well, it's actually pretty compelling..... 00:06:41.180 --> 00:06:47.880 [90s Intel Music intensifies] 00:06:48.220 --> 00:06:50.460 "Hello and welcome to the Journey inside, the computer. 00:06:50.470 --> 00:06:51.490 What's with the toaster?" 00:06:51.490 --> 00:06:53.449 "Oh, well, good question. 00:06:53.449 --> 00:06:57.150 See, this toaster illustrates the four basic parts of the computer. 00:06:57.150 --> 00:07:00.100 Now, just like a computer at your home; the raw data goes in. 00:07:00.100 --> 00:07:01.280 [Bread flopping sound] 00:07:01.280 --> 00:07:03.240 The information gets stored. 00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:04.000 [Twisty ratchet dial sound] 00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:08.240 Then, this raw data gets processed, or in this case; toasted. 00:07:08.820 --> 00:07:09.540 [Toaster boing] 00:07:09.860 --> 00:07:11.620 BAM, the end result" 00:07:11.620 --> 00:07:18.740 As well as many an analogy, there's an explanation of the first general purpose computer, the ENIAC... 00:07:18.740 --> 00:07:21.860 "The first general purpose computer was built in 1945" 00:07:22.200 --> 00:07:25.260 "data had to be entered by flipping switches and plugging wires" 00:07:25.760 --> 00:07:30.080 "that computer, by the way, was called the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator" 00:07:30.420 --> 00:07:38.160 and various roving reporter segments by both Rebecca White and Brahman Turner, with Annette Chavez as the host. 00:07:38.760 --> 00:07:42.039 The video is divided into the same 8 units as the guide book. 00:07:42.039 --> 00:07:45.569 "If you don't believe me, drag your feet across the carpet. 00:07:45.569 --> 00:07:47.100 Then reach out and touch something metal" 00:07:47.440 --> 00:07:47.940 <ZZAP> 00:07:47.940 --> 00:07:48.560 "OW!" 00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:53.060 All sprinkled with wholesome 90s clothing and general aesthetic. 00:07:53.320 --> 00:07:57.120 So you can see a circuit made on screen, for example.. 00:07:57.139 --> 00:08:00.319 "Add electricity here, and the current flows. 00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:03.349 Take it away, and the switch is open" 00:08:03.349 --> 00:08:09.330 ... along with some clear and simple explanations of how transistors and semi-conductors actually 00:08:09.330 --> 00:08:10.330 work. 00:08:10.330 --> 00:08:11.680 "Let's go over to the blue screen and I'll show you what I'm talking about... 00:08:12.840 --> 00:08:16.979 Now, under normal conditions, silicon is non-conductive. 00:08:16.980 --> 00:08:21.760 But when you mix in different elements like Boron or Phosphorus, and then add electricity, 00:08:21.760 --> 00:08:23.200 Silicon becomes conductive!" 00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:26.500 Or we can join Rebecca as she discusses Binary. 00:08:26.500 --> 00:08:31.020 "Imagine what it would be like if we could pound out the bits as fast as a computer!" 00:08:31.180 --> 00:08:35.640 [90s music segment, trying to give the impression of digital SPEED] 00:08:36.340 --> 00:08:39.160 "and that's not even close to a computer speed" 00:08:39.169 --> 00:08:41.479 It's all pretty compelling, even the awkward parts... 00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:44.160 "and finally you get the big picture.... exactly.... and the big bucks.... 00:08:44.160 --> 00:08:45.080 "hehehehe" 00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:46.780 NICE....I hope so" 00:08:47.280 --> 00:08:49.440 adlibbing at it's finest. 00:08:49.980 --> 00:08:54.520 It's also interesting to see staff from Intel, like Bonnie Kao, who had only been there a 00:08:54.529 --> 00:08:59.880 few years at this point, but over 20 years later, is still working there, as a senior 00:08:59.880 --> 00:09:00.880 Director. 00:09:00.880 --> 00:09:02.369 "So what, what happens? 00:09:02.369 --> 00:09:05.050 You've got the Ingot, and how do you make the wafers?... 00:09:05.050 --> 00:09:10.860 What we do is, we basically use a diamond saw, and slice the ingot into polished wafers.... 00:09:10.860 --> 00:09:12.269 what are the things I see on top of the wafer?.... 00:09:12.269 --> 00:09:17.290 We do a very specific processing steps to create patterns on these wafers" 00:09:17.290 --> 00:09:20.410 Y'know, this is pretty interesting stuff. 00:09:20.410 --> 00:09:22.630 And look at all these computers. 00:09:22.630 --> 00:09:24.149 With these CHUNKY CRTs... 00:09:24.149 --> 00:09:25.540 Oh yes, Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. 00:09:25.540 --> 00:09:26.930 I like it. 00:09:26.930 --> 00:09:32.509 "There's no more 'my dog ate it' or I left it at home, because it's supposed to be sitting 00:09:32.509 --> 00:09:33.509 right there on the network" 00:09:33.509 --> 00:09:36.750 I wonder if this was the inspiration for those multi-coloured MMX adverts. 00:09:36.750 --> 00:09:40.310 You know, the ones with the multi-coloured clean suits. 00:09:40.310 --> 00:09:43.880 "They're probably working on the next level of bunny suit too. 00:09:46.100 --> 00:09:47.620 Well, I'm ready. 00:09:48.700 --> 00:09:50.300 I wonder if these will come in colours" 00:09:50.319 --> 00:09:52.619 More likely, it was just a reference TO the advert. 00:09:52.619 --> 00:09:55.050 -play that funky music whitttttt- 00:09:55.050 --> 00:09:59.329 The final unit, looking towards the future, has things like "the connected car". 00:09:59.329 --> 00:10:00.589 Featuring an early sat-nav. 00:10:00.589 --> 00:10:03.569 "I'm lost in San-Francisco, what can this do for me?" 00:10:03.569 --> 00:10:07.809 "If you're down town, you can get a close up of where you are down town, by saying 'locate 00:10:07.809 --> 00:10:08.809 on map'" 00:10:08.809 --> 00:10:09.829 "Oh, there I am!" 00:10:09.829 --> 00:10:13.620 With the style of screen we actually find in most cars today. 00:10:13.620 --> 00:10:19.209 But with the ability to close your garage door, wherever you are, by voice!.... 00:10:19.209 --> 00:10:22.019 "Warning, your garage door is open. 00:10:22.019 --> 00:10:23.730 Would you like it closed?" 00:10:23.730 --> 00:10:24.879 "Say yes" 00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:25.879 "Yes" 00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:27.180 "Garage door secure" 00:10:27.180 --> 00:10:33.510 You've just gotta hope no one was standing below that door when the order was issued. 00:10:33.510 --> 00:10:38.540 What we have is 70 minutes of this educational treasure, which, in a classroom setting, would 00:10:38.540 --> 00:10:42.189 typically be broken down into separate lessons. 00:10:42.189 --> 00:10:47.149 But you can imagine that for many schools, this video would serve as their sole computer 00:10:47.149 --> 00:10:48.600 education. 00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:52.519 If your school was anything like mine, then you'd probably watch this entire video in 00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:55.920 a single lesson, then never discuss it again. 00:10:55.920 --> 00:11:01.600 The teacher would probably just steal the rest of the kit and sell it in Free-Ads. 00:11:01.940 --> 00:11:06.340 But, I'm sure some school's went all out, and integrated the kit to accompany their 00:11:06.350 --> 00:11:08.779 own lessons in this area. 00:11:08.779 --> 00:11:13.910 So let's take another look at the guide, along with some video content, and that chip kit 00:11:13.910 --> 00:11:16.480 to see how it all ties together. 00:11:16.800 --> 00:11:18.700 [strolling pace funky music for your brain] 00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:22.540 Now, this chip kit is really something else. 00:11:22.540 --> 00:11:27.800 So, this entire kit is designed around the touching mentioned earlier, and so serves 00:11:27.800 --> 00:11:29.449 a number of purposes. 00:11:29.449 --> 00:11:34.160 The first being, practical experimentation, so that we can see the effects mentioned in 00:11:34.160 --> 00:11:36.319 the guide in action. 00:11:36.319 --> 00:11:42.329 The second is to familiarise students with parts of a computer, and how it comes together. 00:11:42.329 --> 00:11:44.769 But the third is simply, to touch. 00:11:44.769 --> 00:11:49.499 The tangible aspect of viewing and holding these components, can really help connect 00:11:49.499 --> 00:11:55.920 you to the reality, and understand how incredible these parts are, and how even more incredible, 00:11:55.920 --> 00:11:58.649 the whole, of a computer is. 00:11:58.649 --> 00:12:02.370 For the experimentation side, we get a crap load of batteries. 00:12:02.370 --> 00:12:09.110 6 C batteries, which all have an expiry date sometime in 1999, but also have this rather 00:12:09.110 --> 00:12:15.269 appropriately named "Classic" packaging, with a cat and 9 lives. 00:12:15.269 --> 00:12:20.379 The advertising at the time, trying to convince you that EverReady batteries will outlast 00:12:20.379 --> 00:12:22.549 things that kill other batteries, by as many as 9 times. 00:12:22.549 --> 00:12:25.480 We'll see how many lives they have left shortly... 00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:31.839 We also get 8 9v PP3 batteries, which all look incredibly alluring and comfortable in 00:12:31.839 --> 00:12:33.259 their foam packaging. 00:12:33.260 --> 00:12:37.860 Clearly, there's enough here to assist with classroom activities. 00:12:38.100 --> 00:12:44.319 Alongside our power, there's also some PP3 battery connectors, a bundle of 9 red LEDs, 00:12:44.319 --> 00:12:51.089 6 standard bulbs, a roll of insulating tape, a handful of transistors, a coil of red and 00:12:51.089 --> 00:12:56.179 black wire, a handful of switches, a mechanical sample CPU. 00:12:56.179 --> 00:13:01.399 Earlier kits had 486 and Pentium processors, although I believe this one is a Pentium with 00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:04.139 MMX technology, which is nice. 00:13:04.139 --> 00:13:10.119 Although it clearly states in the guide, not to use this in an actual PC, as it will probably 00:13:10.119 --> 00:13:11.230 damage it. 00:13:11.230 --> 00:13:13.850 So these are likely processor rejects. 00:13:13.850 --> 00:13:18.601 We also get a couple of loose, diced chips, so that students can hold them up close, and 00:13:18.601 --> 00:13:22.230 really get a feel for how tiny the circuity is. 00:13:22.230 --> 00:13:26.220 The red dots on these, indicate they have failed their reliability tests. 00:13:26.220 --> 00:13:31.630 BUT, not only that, there's also this entire Silicon wafer, featuring, what appears to 00:13:31.630 --> 00:13:34.420 be 2 processor die slices. 00:13:34.420 --> 00:13:38.489 It's presented in this plastic surround, so it doesn't get smashed to pieces, but the 00:13:38.489 --> 00:13:43.080 wafer itself is exposed, and it's incredibly cool to look at and inspect. 00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:53.960 [Soothiing electronica] 00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:05.500 *flop* 00:14:05.820 --> 00:14:09.160 Anyway, let's try out a couple of experiments from the guide. 00:14:09.160 --> 00:14:11.779 So, here's a very basic circuit. 00:14:11.779 --> 00:14:16.370 All we need is a PP3 battery, a connector and an led. 00:14:16.370 --> 00:14:20.799 Now we could just stick the ends of the LED directly on the battery, but let's do what 00:14:20.800 --> 00:14:22.720 is suggested... 00:14:23.380 --> 00:14:36.660 Positive and negative leads, to, the battery, we should find that... the battery is... possibly 00:14:36.660 --> 00:14:37.660 dead. 00:14:37.660 --> 00:14:38.899 THE BATTERY IS DEAD. 00:14:38.899 --> 00:14:42.459 So, we pop this on a new battery. 00:14:42.459 --> 00:14:46.859 It's a very faint light, but, there is indeed, a light there. 00:14:46.859 --> 00:14:49.899 There we go. 00:14:49.899 --> 00:14:54.139 Now maybe let's try using a transistor, like that circuit in the video... 00:14:54.139 --> 00:14:59.050 I should really solder this, but I don't want to ruin parts of the kit. 00:14:59.050 --> 00:15:10.850 Errr, we will connect, the black to negative terminal on the battery, and as it stands, 00:15:10.850 --> 00:15:14.999 we have no light coming out of the LED. 00:15:14.999 --> 00:15:20.319 But, if we get a round battery, and we add a piece of wire. 00:15:20.319 --> 00:15:29.259 OK, and then we connect, the positive end of the battery to the source, and the negative 00:15:29.259 --> 00:15:34.569 end.... this is difficult.... right, positive to source. 00:15:34.569 --> 00:15:36.369 Negative to that part of the gate. 00:15:36.369 --> 00:15:37.559 There we go! 00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:43.049 Can see the LED lighting up. 00:15:43.049 --> 00:15:45.960 Lovely job. 00:15:46.500 --> 00:15:49.020 And that's really the climax of this kit. 00:15:49.040 --> 00:15:53.720 Now I'd love to hear from you if you used one of these in school during the 90s. 00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:57.040 Maybe your teacher took a different approach to proceedings. 00:15:57.220 --> 00:15:59.920 or maybe they just played the tape, like they would have done, at my school. 00:16:00.020 --> 00:16:02.300 Let me know in the comments. 00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:06.200 *Sponsor* 00:16:07.520 --> 00:16:13.420 Allow to interject, for just a brief moment, while I discuss this video's sponsor, Audible. 00:16:13.429 --> 00:16:17.839 Now, Audible is a sponsor I really wanted to get, because, I love it. 00:16:17.839 --> 00:16:21.369 Whenever I sit here doing these experiments, I listen to Audible. 00:16:21.369 --> 00:16:24.019 When I'm editing videos, I listen to Audible. 00:16:24.019 --> 00:16:29.019 I believe listening can motivate, inspire, inform and enrich your life. 00:16:29.019 --> 00:16:32.939 So it's a good job that Audible are doing a challenge to start this year. 00:16:32.939 --> 00:16:39.589 Finish 3 audiobooks by the 3rd of March, which trust me, isn't difficult, and get a 20 dollar 00:16:39.589 --> 00:16:40.669 Amazon credit. 00:16:40.669 --> 00:16:44.939 Listen on any device, any time with a 30 day Audible trial. 00:16:44.939 --> 00:16:48.240 Choose one

Audible.com/Nostalgianerd or text nostalgianerd to 500 500. 00:17:02.160 --> 00:17:06.480 I'm kicking off this year with H.G. Wells, the Science Fiction collection, because I 00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:10.620 really want to get stuck in with some classic sci-fi during 2020. 00:17:10.620 --> 00:17:11.620 Alexa! (sorry Alexa owners) 00:17:11.620 --> 00:17:14.060 Play my audiobook, H.G. Wells the collection. 00:17:14.069 --> 00:17:15.760 *sounds of space* 00:17:15.760 --> 00:17:19.009 H.G. Wells, the Science Fiction Collection 00:17:19.009 --> 00:17:22.860 So, why not click the link in the description and join me. 00:17:22.940 --> 00:17:24.100 Let's get back to this... 00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:24.940 00:17:25.340 --> 00:17:27.180 Bloomin' eck. 00:17:27.189 --> 00:17:29.590 I almost forgot about the poster and transparencies. 00:17:29.590 --> 00:17:35.070 If you were a classroom goer in the 90s, I'm almost certain that you encountered an overhead 00:17:35.070 --> 00:17:36.330 projector. 00:17:36.330 --> 00:17:40.860 These allowed you to lay sheets onto their lighted bed, or even a laptop screen, and 00:17:40.860 --> 00:17:44.450 project the contents onto a wall or white board. 00:17:44.450 --> 00:17:51.070 The Intel kit comes with quite a few of these overlays, but the magic is really in the processor 00:17:51.070 --> 00:17:52.070 slices. 00:17:52.070 --> 00:17:54.259 It's discussed briefly in the teacher video. 00:17:54.259 --> 00:17:57.380 "You'll find in the chip kit, that you have some transparencies. 00:17:57.380 --> 00:18:03.850 The four transparencies will help you with the fabrication part of the chip creation. 00:18:03.850 --> 00:18:09.309 The four layers that are there, do not necessarily hook together, we've just kinda pulled them at random" 00:18:09.309 --> 00:18:13.870 So, although they're not necessarily in any logical order, we can take these four sheets 00:18:13.870 --> 00:18:19.049 and overlay them to create an impression of the multiple layers within a chip. 00:18:19.049 --> 00:18:23.620 Which if anything is just a colourful wonder of transparent euphoria. 00:18:23.620 --> 00:18:28.549 Ohhh,yeah, just look at those colours, and the transparent plastic sheet. 00:18:28.549 --> 00:18:30.440 What is it about this that I love. 00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:32.559 I have no idea. 00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:36.130 But if that wasn't enough, the kit also has some other bits. 00:18:36.130 --> 00:18:40.570 We've even got the original letter, for the school this kit was sent to. 00:18:40.570 --> 00:18:43.909 Did anyone go to Gateway Baptist School? 00:18:43.909 --> 00:18:50.309 If so, you clearly missed out on this precious Intel training, and for that I'm sorry. 00:18:50.309 --> 00:18:56.700 The poster is a masterpiece of childhood wonder, managing to combine some useful information 00:18:56.700 --> 00:19:02.210 on the fundamentals of a computer with a cross section that just makes you want to get inside 00:19:02.210 --> 00:19:07.220 a real machine and start tinkering. Very reminiscent of a Dorling Kindersley book. 00:19:07.900 --> 00:19:12.720 "Did you know that air in a chip factory is one million times cleaner than the air that 00:19:12.730 --> 00:19:14.340 we breathe?"... 00:19:14.340 --> 00:19:15.960 Ahhh facts. 00:19:16.380 --> 00:19:19.180 There's also a handy timeline at the bottom. 00:19:19.190 --> 00:19:23.630 It's a very USA focused timeline, but I guess, patriotism. 00:19:23.630 --> 00:19:27.009 It's all Intel branded, it's all pretty commercial. 00:19:27.009 --> 00:19:29.720 But I love it regardless. 00:19:36.840 --> 00:19:41.139 I hope you've enjoyed this video on, The Journey 00:19:41.139 --> 00:19:48.630 But there's one thing we haven't discussed, and that's The Journey Inside by Intel, in 00:19:48.630 --> 00:19:49.840 IMAX. 00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:56.080 "With this much computer power, humans will soon be able to cross, the critical information 00:19:56.090 --> 00:19:57.090 threshold. 00:19:57.090 --> 00:20:01.380 Humans, must never be allowed to cross the threshold" 00:20:01.380 --> 00:20:07.960 "*rocks tumbling* *gun blast*" 00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:14.760 Yes, this was a feature film, made by Intel that went along with this pack. 00:20:14.770 --> 00:20:19.149 Released in 1994, and I think it warrants it's own separate video. 00:20:19.149 --> 00:20:22.850 So, stay tuned, and we'll take a look into it. 00:20:22.850 --> 00:20:26.620 Anyway, thanks for watching, have a great evening" 00:20:28.300 --> 00:20:28.860 [slap on table] 00:20:31.100 --> 00:20:46.080 [Funky Sound out]
