Bits and Bytes (1983)

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!

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Although the format made me laugh and they are incredibly outdated, the videos really do explain everything in easy terms.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.
