1984 ‘Sesame Street’ Video Asks Kids What a Computer Is
In 1984, 'Sesame Street' asked a group of New York school children what a computer was. Though computers have certainly come a long way since then, this video shows us that actually many things haven't changed.
For example, computers still don't have bones and they still are a lot like TV's that "make designs" and "help you to read."
