1
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: Hey there, Welcome to Growing Up with Emily, a lingo

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: kids podcast. It helps kids discover how to be whatever

3
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: they want to be growing up.

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 2: Will be tall enough?

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 3: Side?

6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, side?

7
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 3: Hey, can you guess the age of the youngest computer

8
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 3: programmer in the world? Join us to find out as

9
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 3: we explore the exciting world of computer programmers.

10
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 1: Hey, Winston, how's your research going for our next job?

11
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 2: It's getting there, Emily.

12
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 3: I'm just having a little bit of trouble actually understanding

13
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 3: what it is that computer programmers do.

14
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 2: I mean, it seems like.

15
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 4: Oh, sorry, that's just my smart watch. Oh wow, I'm.

16
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 1: Already at six thousand steps and I've still got way

17
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: more moving to do today.

18
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 3: Wait, your smart watch can tell you how many steps

19
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 3: you've walked or jogged each day.

20
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Winston, you haven't seen these things. They can

21
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: give you reports on all sorts of important things related

22
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: to your health, like how many steps you've taken, how

23
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: stressed you are, your blood oxygen level, and even your

24
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: heart rate.

25
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 2: WHOA really? Hey? Can I try yours on? Emily? Yeah?

26
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 4: Sure, why not?

27
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 2: Here?

28
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 4: Here you go?

29
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 2: Okay, what's to say?

30
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: It says your resting heart rate is seventy six beats

31
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: per minute?

32
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 2: All right? Is that good?

33
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 4: Totally normal and healthy.

34
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 2: I didn't realize smart watches could do so much.

35
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: Well, you are researching computer programmers today, aren't you, Winston? Uh?

36
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, but what's that have to do with your watch?

37
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 4: Everything?

38
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: Computer programmers are the ones who make all the cool

39
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: text devices we use possible. Okay, So now can you

40
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: think of other things that computer programmers have created to

41
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: make our lives easier?

42
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 4: Like the self checkout machine at the grocery.

43
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 3: Store mm or the cool CGI and digital effects you

44
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 3: see in movies?

45
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,119
Speaker 4: Dingning dang, you got one?

46
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, you're turn Emily.

47
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: Okay, what about a room a robot vacuum that knows exactly.

48
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 4: Where to go and clean in your.

49
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: House and how to get back to its docking station

50
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: to recharge?

51
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: Ding ding ding.

52
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 3: That sounds like a robot that needs programming to make Okay,

53
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 3: my turn. How about airplanes that fly using autopilots that's

54
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 3: got to use a computer, right, dinging ding exactly.

55
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: Those are some great examples of things that computer programmers

56
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: do to help make our lives easier and more fun.

57
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: Part of their job is to communicate with machines using

58
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: special computer languages.

59
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 2: That all sounds very mysterious to me.

60
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: Emily, Well, it sounds mysterious to us, but it's actually

61
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,399
Speaker 1: very practical when you know how to use these special

62
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: languages correctly. Hey, I've got a cool story that might

63
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: help you understand just how useful computer programming can be.

64
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 4: You're gonna like this.

65
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: It involves a real life space shoop.

66
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 4: Are you ready?

67
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 3: Well when you put it like that, Yeah, I'm always

68
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 3: ready for a spaceship story.

69
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: Emily. Okay, counting down, three, two, one? What is it?

70
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, Okay, picture it. It's July twentieth, nineteen sixty nine.

71
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: You're floating almost ten miles above the lunar surface.

72
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: Hey, I know about this.

73
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 3: That's the day astronauts first landed on the Moon. Right,

74
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 3: it was Neil Armstrong and Buzz light Year.

75
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: Close Winson, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. But yes, that's

76
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: the day the Eagle, the lunar module, approached the Moon

77
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: ready to land, but as it did, something went terribly wrong.

78
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 2: No what happened?

79
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: The computer's lights started flashing warning messages, and the astronauts

80
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: called back to NASA on Earth to tell them something

81
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: wasn't right that something.

82
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: Was off Houston, We've got a problem.

83
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: Exactly, But they couldn't figure out what the problem was.

84
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: All they knew was that the spaceship's computer, the Apollo

85
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: Guidance computer, was going crazy with flashes and beeps.

86
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, I bet the astronauts were scared, Emily, being

87
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 3: up in space all alone, so far from home or

88
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 3: any other people.

89
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 4: I would have been scared too. In send, my heart

90
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 4: rate would have been through the roof.

91
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: But luckily work done by computer programmers helped them out.

92
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 4: From back down here on Earth.

93
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 3: Programmers helped the astronauts all the way up in space.

94
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 2: That's incredible. But how did they do it?

95
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 4: Well?

96
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,799
Speaker 1: A very smart computer programmer named Margaret Hamilton had worked

97
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: on the language that told the spaceship's computer what to do,

98
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: and she could communicate with the Apollo Guidance computer from

99
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: way down back in mission control to see what the

100
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: problem was.

101
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 2: And what was the problem, Emily? Were they running out

102
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 2: of gas? Was there an alien somewhere nearby?

103
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 4: Nothing quite like that.

104
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: Margaret was monitoring the code that she'd written using the

105
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: programming language, and the computer reported back and told her

106
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: that astronauts had made a simple human error.

107
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 2: Oh.

108
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 3: I bet they forgot to roll up the windows or

109
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 3: buckle their seat belts.

110
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: That would have been an awful mistake in a spaceship, Winston.

111
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: But no, what happened was the astronauts accidentally put the

112
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: spaceship's radar switch on the wrong setting Jike's.

113
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 3: And there's probably hundreds and hundreds of buttons and switches

114
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 3: and lights in a spaceship too. I thought playing video

115
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 3: games was hard, so it would be super difficult to

116
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 3: remember what to push not to push while you're in there.

117
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: Fortunately, right when NASA was about to cancel the mission

118
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: and tell the astronauts to turn around and come back home,

119
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: Margaret's computer program was able to tell them what the

120
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: issue was. And not only that, the program.

121
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 4: She created was so, so, so, so.

122
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: Smart that it adjusted the astronaut's mistake, allowing them to

123
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: land safely on.

124
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 4: The lunar surface.

125
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: It was a huge achievement for humankind and.

126
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 3: For computer programming. I bet without the code the computer

127
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 3: programmer wrote, the astronauts may have never landed on the

128
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 3: Moon at all.

129
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 4: That's exactly right. Margaret was a brilliant programmer.

130
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 3: Wow, so computer programmers could do all sorts of jobs,

131
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 3: from working at NASA and helping astronauts to building video games,

132
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 3: to making the apps that watch out for our health

133
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 3: on smart.

134
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 4: Watches and everything in between.

135
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: Oh, you know what, there's actually a technology expo downtown today.

136
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 1: It's a place where they show up all of the

137
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: coolest new technology in programs.

138
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 2: Okay, that sounds pretty awesome.

139
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 3: I'd love to see all the new games in robots

140
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 3: and apps that computer programs help them make too.

141
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 4: In so let's go check it out.

142
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 2: Last one of the doors a rotten microchip.

143
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 4: Hey, wait up, hold the door for me.

144
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 3: WHOA I have never seen so many robots and computer screens.

145
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 3: Look over there are those draws racing through an obstacle course.

146
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 4: Wow, they sure are fast.

147
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: A computer programmer had to program in every ench of

148
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: the course so that they could move so quick.

149
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 2: And over there is that a robot? Check it out.

150
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: It almost looks like a human. It's following me with

151
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 2: its eyes. Hi there, how may I be of service?

152
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 2: Is he talking to me?

153
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 3: I am a robot who uses AI to communicate with humans.

154
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 2: Ay I what's that?

155
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 3: Oh?

156
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 4: That means artificial intelligence? Winston.

157
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: It's becoming really popular. Why don't you ask the robot

158
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: what it is.

159
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 3: Okay, then, hey, robot, what is artificial intelligence? Artificial intelligence

160
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 3: was created by computer programmers. It is like a robot's

161
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 3: brain and helps me think and make decisions, just like how.

162
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 2: You use your brain to solve puzzles and learn new things.

163
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 3: Gee, thanks, mister robot, my pleasure, young sir.

164
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 4: Wow, pretty cool, Hull Winston.

165
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen anything cooler.

166
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 3: And computer programmers made it possible for that robot to

167
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 3: talk to me.

168
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: Yes, after a lot of coding and hard work, no doubt.

169
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: But anyone can code if they have access to a computer,

170
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: even kids.

171
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 2: How cool. I wonder who the youngest computer programmer ever was.

172
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna look it up on my phone.

173
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 4: What does it say? Winston?

174
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 2: No way, you're not gonna believe this, Emily.

175
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 3: How old do you think the youngest computer programmer is?

176
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 4: Oh, let's see eighteen? Oh wait, no, maybe sixteen.

177
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 3: Close, but you're off by ten years, Emily. The youngest

178
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 3: ever programmer.

179
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 2: Was six years old.

180
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 4: Wow.

181
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 3: His name is arham Am Talsania and he's from India.

182
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 3: In twenty twenty, he broke againness world record to become

183
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 3: the world's youngest computer programmer after he passed a Microsoft

184
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 3: programming test with flying colors.

185
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 2: That is so crazy six years old.

186
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: Whoa, He must have been determined, and he really must

187
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 1: love programming.

188
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

189
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 3: It says here that in his spare time he likes

190
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 3: to play piano and program new code. He wants to

191
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 3: work on creating video games and even robots that can

192
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 3: help people in need.

193
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 4: Ah, that would be nice of him, and it's very possible.

194
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 3: I think it's pretty neat that you could do so

195
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 3: many different things with computer programming too. That must mean

196
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 3: there are lots of different jobs out there for people

197
00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 3: who know how to do it.

198
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: Luckily, young people just like you and little Arham for

199
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: that matter, can learn how to program from free lessons

200
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: on websites and YouTube videos too.

201
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 3: Things would be a lot harder in our world without

202
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 3: computers to help us out, Like how would I play Minecraft?

203
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 2: It's almost too much to wrap my mind around.

204
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: A lot of things were certainly much more difficult to

205
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: do without computers and the programs that run them. But

206
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: having computers inside your house is still kind of a

207
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: new thing really.

208
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 2: Well.

209
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: The very first mechanical computer was created by Charles Babbage,

210
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: in eighteen twenty two. But it didn't really look like

211
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: what most people think.

212
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 4: Of when they hear the word computer. And they were

213
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 4: a lot different back then.

214
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: In fact, back in the nineteen forties, when universities started

215
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: using them to do complicated math problems, computers used.

216
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 4: To be way bigger. They didn't even fit in most

217
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 4: people's houses. Guess how big they.

218
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: Were, Like the size of a microwave.

219
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 4: And eoh bigger?

220
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 2: Oh wow, as big as a refrigerator.

221
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, you're not gonna believe this, Winston.

222
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 1: But early computers were actually the size of a massive room.

223
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 4: They wouldn't even fit inside your house.

224
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 2: Well, that's so crazy.

225
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: What's even crazier is that those early computers were so

226
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: big that if they had an issue and stopped working,

227
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: it could take programmers days to debug them and find

228
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: the problem debug them.

229
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 2: What's that, Emily, Like a flea bath for computers.

230
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 3: Uh?

231
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: Oh, you're gonna love this next story, Winston, about where

232
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: the word debug comes from.

233
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 3: Oh, I hope it's not something too ichy bugs yuck.

234
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: Actually, the word debug came about years ago, in a

235
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: world before smartphones and tablets, there was a wonderful computer

236
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: scientist in programmer named Grace Hopper who was known for

237
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: her incredible creativity.

238
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 4: And problem solving skills.

239
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: And one sunny day in the ninth teen forties, Grace

240
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: was working on one of those gigantic computers called Mark

241
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: one that was indeed as big as a room. She

242
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:13,359
Speaker 1: loved this computer because it helped her solve big, complex problems.

243
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: But one day, something truly odd happened that upset her.

244
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 4: What do you think that was, Winston?

245
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 3: I don't know, but at least I know that no

246
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 3: one stole that computer since it was as big as

247
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 3: a room.

248
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: The problem was Grace's computer stopped working. She tried to

249
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: figure out why for hours and hours, but she was stumped.

250
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 4: Until finally she opened up the computer.

251
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: And to her surprise, she found a real life bug

252
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 1: inside of it.

253
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 4: No way really, yep, a moth.

254
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 1: Had flown into the computer and got stuck in the gears.

255
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 4: She took it out and the computer worked again.

256
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: And that when people started saying that Grace debugged the

257
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: computer a turn, and programmers now used to mean to

258
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: fix a piece of code that isn't working.

259
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 4: Pretty funny.

260
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 3: Huh, wow, that is funny, Emily, But I am glad

261
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 3: she figured out the problem.

262
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 4: Well, Grace didn't stop there.

263
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 1: She realized that computers needed a better way to understand instructions,

264
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: so she invented something called a compiler.

265
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 4: It was like a.

266
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: Magic translator that turned human instructions or code into a

267
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: language computers could understand.

268
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 3: So Grace Hopper kind of made it possible for programmers

269
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 3: to communicate with computers using code.

270
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 4: She really was a trailblazer.

271
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: Winston and Grace believed that anyone, no matter their age

272
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: or background, could learn to use computers to solve problems

273
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: and have fun. And she once said, the most important

274
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: thing I've accomplished, other than building the compiler, is training

275
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: young people.

276
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 4: She inspired kids.

277
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: All over the world to explore the world of computers

278
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: and programming.

279
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 3: And thanks to her, all this new and exciting stuff

280
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 3: to check out of this tech expo. Without the work

281
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 3: she did, who knows if programmers would be able to

282
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 3: create all of these cool machines and apps and gadgets.

283
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 2: Hey, what's everyone so excited about over here?

284
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 3: Oh?

285
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 4: Check it out, Winston.

286
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: Another new way that computer programmers can use their skills

287
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: Virtual reality VR.

288
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 2: I've heard of this.

289
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 3: Oh, I've got to try those VR goggles. Emily, can

290
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 3: I can?

291
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 4: I sure go for it. Okay, here's a spare headset. Okay,

292
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 4: I'm gonna select THEE.

293
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: Let's see under the C level for you, so that

294
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: you can really see how much time and effort computer

295
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: programmers put into making these virtual worlds look ugh, so

296
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: astonishingly real.

297
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 2: Oh I'm so excited. Oh my gosh, oh my gosh. Whoa, Emily,

298
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 2: this is insane.

299
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 4: Okay, what do you see inside the goggles? Winson?

300
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 2: Okay, this is awesome. Picture this.

301
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 3: I'm sitting at the bottom of the ocean and there's

302
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 3: all these craf jellyfish around me.

303
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 2: It's almost as if I could reach out and touch them.

304
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 3: I had no idea programmers could create so many different

305
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 3: programs for so many different types of machines VR, self

306
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 3: driving cars, room, bas what's next.

307
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: Well, one thing I really love about programming is that

308
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: it's not just about entertainment. There are many serious ways

309
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: to use it that help people too. For instance, some

310
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: programs help doctors look inside bodies for illnesses with special machines.

311
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: Some help farmers grow yummy food with the assistance of robots. Now,

312
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: why don't we go back to the lab and you

313
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: can start learning a bit of programming yourself.

314
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 2: Sign me up.

315
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for joining Winston and I today at

316
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: the Tech Expo where we explored computer programming.

317
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 4: Who knew that computer programmers could do.

318
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: So many different and fun jobs. Maybe you'll create an

319
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: awesome program that people love someday too, See you next time.

320
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 2: Could dream of becoming a dancer, a line trainer, celebrity chauffeur.

321
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: Check count the Hey Winston, Are you curious for more?

322
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: Check out Lingo Kids, the number one learning app for kids.

323
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: They have a ton of original games and videos and
