As early technology enthusiasts may recall, Computer Chronicles was a half-hour long television series that reported on new developments and trends in the emerging world of personal computers. The show was hosted by Stewart Cheifet and broadcasted on PBS between 1983 and 2002. For folks looking to discover-- or reminisce about-- early conversations regarding computers and their social impact, a number of Computer Chronicles episodes are available on YouTube. Visitors can can watch a 1983 explanation of word processing programs and how these programs have changed a number of professions, a 1993 investigation of digital journalism (featuring a CNN CD-ROM), a 1997 exploration of the growing trend of cyber dating, and much more. Visitors can browse episodes by year or by a number of themed playlists, such as Computer Chronicles Buyer's Guides, Computer Chronicles Episodes on Software, and Regional Computer Chronicle Episodes, which highlighted technology developments from around the world.
