Sesame Street Clip From 1984 Asks Kids To Explain Computers

Latest

Here’s a vintage segment from an episode of Sesame Street in 1984 that shows a teacher sitting down with her class and asking them what they know about computers. Before you laugh at how little the kids know about computers, remember that 1984 was the first year Apple started widely promoting their personal computers through their celebrated television commercials. So try not to giggle at poor little Kim (not to be confused with Lil Kim) when says describes a PC as “something that you write on and press buttons on.” My, how the world has changed in such a short amount of time!
