Ever wondered how programmers went from typing endless 1s and 0s to writing actual words like MOV, ADD, and JMP? That’s the story of assembly language—one of the first big breakthroughs in computer programming.
In this video, we’ll explain:
✅ Why assembly language was created in the 1940s
✅ How mnemonics like MOV and ADD made coding human-readable
✅ What an assembler does to translate human instructions into machine code
✅ Why assembly was the crucial bridge to high-level languages like FORTRAN, COBOL, and C
Assembly may look simple, but it changed the history of programming forever. It’s where humans finally stopped “thinking like machines” and made machines understand us.
