I have fond memories of watching Computer Chronicles as a kid in the 1990s on PBS in Sacramento. Even though Sacramento is only a two-hour drive from Silicon Valley, Silicon Valley felt like a far-off place as a kid from a low-income family; it wasn’t until college when I visited Silicon Valley for the first time. While we couldn’t afford the latest and greatest of computing, Computer Chronicles enabled me to keep up with computing news. Even when we got Internet access in 1998, I still regularly watched Computer Chronicles until it stopped airing.

There seems to be a sense of wonder, excitement, and positivity about technology back in the 1990s and 2000s. I miss those days.
