There was a time when people didn't fully understand the potential of computers, or the potential for everyday people (not electrical engineers) to get something out of them. I oughta know, I remember watching this show on PBS in Chicago in about 1984.
Parts of it were dumbed down, but I guess that could be considered 'user-friendly'. The animated sections of the shows spelled out some of the processes and how it all worked in greater detail, while the live-action sections were structured as "teacher" Luba Goy told middle-aged layman Billy Van what computers did and how to get the most out of them. Suffice it to say, Billy Van's initial diffidence always changed to wonderment and enthusiasm over the course of each show.
It would be hopelessly dated from a technological standpoint today but some parts illustrate basics that still haven't changed, and it was excellent viewing for the generation that shaped what computing is today.
