When I’m not at work and just want to chill, but want to see a good story, what are some good tech documentaries to watch? Whether it’s on YouTube or elsewhere, free or paid, I’m open to any tech documentaries you know of.
Back in the early 1980's, there was a weekly PBS series called The Computer Chronicles. It was a rundown of tech at the time. Being an older geek, I remember watching them first-run to learn about shiny new things like VisiCalc, sound cards and The Internet. Thankfully, folks have managed to digitize most of the original tapes and it's now on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/ComputerChroniclesYT
I've found that going back and watching them has stirred some great nostalgia and perspective.
