I'm actually watching through these again. Watching these now I realize just how much I probably originally learned from these. While silly and horribly dated it really teaches a lot.
It would actually be good for many younger IT people to see this to get some context on where we have come from.
-
These are seriously classic. Talk about taking you back!
-
These are very unfamiliar for me , thank you for your sharing , i got so much information about History of Computer
-
I'm watching one with my five year old daughter right now. She is enjoying the show. She thinks that it is really cool.
My wife thinks that this is hilarious.
-
The five year old is now watching the second episode! This thing is popular.

@scottalanmiller And Billy was learning computers by playing games! lol
ironically, that's sort of how I got started......my Aunt and Uncle introduced me to Mario Teaches Typing on a Packard Bell system. I was hooked.
-
@Bill-Kindle wow. Lol
-
I want to try teaching my daughter by using some eight bit machines. These things made me love computers when I was her age.
I wonder how much growing up at the same time that computers grew up influenced my love of them.
-
Although the format made me laugh and they are incredibly outdated, the videos really do explain everything in easy terms.

I think that the old 8bit era made learning concepts so much easier.

Should watch it later at home
interesting -
It's amazing how educational this show is, even today. I think especially for those who are younger, like yourself, this is an amazing way to learn about computer history and a lot of theory that is often lost due to the abstract nature of computers today.
-
I hope to soon start using this as part of my daughter's home school regime. It's been a couple of years now since I last watched it so I am looking forward to watching it again myself.

These are fantastic! I don't know how I'm going to keep myself from putting these on our Wiki at work and flagging them as mandatory training for all the engineers...
