How do computers... compute?

February 08, 2021 • Brandon and Matt • Season 1 • Episode 9

This week, we’re delving into computer science. Computers affect almost everything about our day‑to‑day lives, from automating cars to allowing you to listen to podcasts where high guys talk about science. Tune in to hear Brandon explain to Matt the history of computers, how electricity allows them to think faster than a human, and how all of that works together to create computer programs!
