It's hard to know which specific emotion this video of kids reacting to old computers from the late 1970s and early 1980s evokes. The feeling is somewhere between sheer delight (how cute are they?!) and utter horror (how old am I?!) Either way, it's worth it.
As we pointed out when the last video in this series came out, this isn't just a chance to gawk at children gawking at how outdated old technology is. It's also a chance to reflect on the dawn of personal computing. The Apple II you see in the beginning of the video is a big reason you—and probably some of these children—now carry iPhones in their pockets. So bow down young ones and behold what Steve hath wrought. [Fine Brothers]
