If you want to know what makes computer "tick", there is no better way than watching this video. Many people "try" to use computers without having a foundation on which to begin. Ever wandered why we even use computers at all? It's all here. This video is not only entertaining, but extremely informative. If you use any type of electronic devices (which we all do), this video will change your idea of what a computer is.

If you are an adult and interested in state of art computer technology, please DO NOT BUY this video. A grade 5-8 student could have given it a 5 star rating in 1995-97.
total run time : 20 Minutes.

I showed this to my computer classes at school. I saw it 8 times in one day and would like to never see it again. It was full of great stuff about the history of computers and how they work, but the new parts have been outdated for 15-20 years. Definatley not entertaining what so ever. Especially not to teenagers.

A 20-minute tape full of outdated information. The author should hide himself and never come back again.

This video is a wonderful introduction (although a little outdated) to understanding computers. I highly recommend it for a teaching tool in an introductory computer course.
