Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Today, we are going to start our discussion on user experience. We've talked a lot in this series about how computers move data around within the computer, but not so much about our role in the process. So today, we're going to look at our earliest form of interaction through keyboards. We'll talk about how the keyboard got its qwerty layout, and then we'll track its evolution in electronic typewriters, and eventually terminals with screens. We are going to focus specifically on text interaction through command line interfaces, and next week we'll take a look at graphics. Check out Eons! Pre-order our limited edition Crash Course: Computer Science Floppy Disk Coasters here!

A terminal recommendation for Linux users, check out Terminology. It's just both functional, and great looking. I just got turned onto it recently and I never thought I'd actually enjoy using the terminal so much. I've got mine in a theme that makes it look like an old school faded display

You are entirely accurate to say that it is not the full story. Notice how the exceptions to putting common pairings apart all end up with the top row. Why? It allows to type the name of the device using only the top row.

could have done without the pseudo science plug. Some day some of us may discover our programs fail when calculating the curvature of the earth. and then go on to learn real science.

Qwerty is a really terrible keyboard layout. The Dvorak keyboard leaves qwerty in the dust. When I switched to Dvorak I ended up typing 50% faster than I did on qwerty.

Since when does simply writing the name of something execute it? Usually you must use. /name, otherwise it assumes the thing is in the root directory.

8: 27 Literally only recognizing Zork because of a Vsauce video, and content when Carrie Anne said,
--You are likely to be eaten by a grue. --

I wonder why she has to speak so quickly. Man, it gives me headache, very difficult to keep up with her! The course content is amazing though

I love how you didn't tell anyone how to open a terminal in Linux (common distros. Cuz if you're running linux, you know how to use a terminal.
