Kids react to the Apple ][

  • It's pretty amazing how much engineering and user-focused innovation has gone on since the '70s. Having to restart your computer in order to run a program on another disk? Having to walk to the back of the computer to turn it on and off? We've come a long way.

    One or two of the kids show signs of being potential future programmers, which is nice. Even if they don't understand all the trouble the old-timey computer was, they still feel that sense of achivement when they manage to make it do something correctly.
