How do you think would happen if you show the child computer 30 years ago? Of course, it would be incredibly surprised. Children even can not imagine that once there was a computer that is not connected to the Internet, without a GUI, a hard disk, and even without a mouse! "As it do your homework?" - they ask each other. "Why is it so big?"
During the experiment, presented in the video, the children had to study the computer provided to them. But ultimately, adult mentors, of course, help them find a way out of the predicament. It should be noted that the Apple II was a very unfriendly towards the younger generation. First, they had to figure out how to turn it on, and for that you need to press two buttons: one - ahead of the second - behind the computer. Second, to achieve at least some of the reaction Apple II, pressing on the computer keyboard. Then, they had to cope with a very simple mathematical problem "2 + 2". And, finally understand what a floppy disk, and how it can be used to play on the Apple II.
The children were amazed at how 30 years ago this cumbersome and useless thing could be the top of the world's computer progress. But, despite this, playing on the Apple II, one of the girls said it was at least better than «Flappy Bird». Watch and enjoy the reaction of children, which, of course, needs no translation.
