Welcome to Bits and Bytes, a television program about computers, or rather about microcomputers — the small, personal ones that are selling like hot cakes nowadays. Bits and Bytes was a Canadian television series, produced by TVOntario in 1983. It starred Luba Goy as the instructor, and Billy Van as the student. The show consisted of 12 episodes and featured many of the classic 80s microcomputers including the Apple ][, Commodore PET, VIC 20 and 64, Atari 800, TRS-80, TI 99 and the IBM PC....

This episode of Bits and Bytes is about using the computer to help teach things — what's called Computer Assisted Instruction, or CAI for short. To understand what CAI is all about, we're going to go on an excursion into two related fields: programmed instruction and Artificial Intelligence. Bits and Bytes was a Canadian television series, produced by TVOntario in 1983. It starred Luba Goy as the instructor, and Billy Van as the student. For more information, see...

In this episode of Bits and Bytes, we're going to look at various types of computer languages — first the languages we speak when we program the computer, programming languages, and then the language that the computer itself speaks, machine language. After that, we'll see how programming languages are translated into machine language by a means of interpreter or compile. We're also going to examine Logo, a computer language especially designed for children. Bits and Bytes was a Canadian...

In this episode of Bits and Bytes, we're going to see how the computer not only lets you play music, but play with music in all sorts of new ways — and you don't need to be musical to do this. If you have a bad ear for music, the computer can help train your ear; if you can't read music, the computer can help you to learn. Or if you like, it can create a new way of representing musical notes. Bits and Bytes was a Canadian television series, produced by TVOntario in 1983. It starred Luba Goy...

Armed with this information, we should now know enough about computers to be able to start thinking seriously about some of the questions what that they raise. And that's what our final program is all about — where is this all going? what are the implications for the future? what next?
