Hey everyone! I’m looking for some good documentaries on the history of computer science and Programing in general!

If they are free and easily accessible it’s a plus!

Thanks in advance!

    There’s a great documentary from the 1980s called “Wargames” /j

    Seriously though, I would recommend the YouTube channel “Computerphile”. It’s by the same guy who does Numberphile but it’s all about computer science topics. They often give a bit of the history for how things came about. Tom Scott’s YouTube channel has many computer science topics as well, though AFAIK he hasn’t done any recently.
