HyperCard Changed Everything

Before the web, there was HyperCard. It gave ordinary people the power to create, to explore – and even led to the best-selling computer game of all time. So, what happened to it? This video was a ton of work, and I'd like to thank archive.org as well as Epidemic Sound. I'd also like to thank all of the computing pioneers who've made this possible. Without them, this video would not exist. I did my best to make this video as accurate as possible. If anything is misrepresented, please let me know in the comments! And finally, if you enjoy this please like & subscribe to help grow this channel so that I can continue making videos like this. It means a lot, thank you! Corrections: 2:27: I regret not finding a way to bring Ted Nelson into this story, who coined the terms "hypertext" and "hypermedia" in 1963. 4:20: The 68000 processor itself was quite good. The original Macintosh's main bottleneck was memory.
