The author expresses a deep love for the old TV show “Bits and Bytes” for its unique approach to educating viewers on how to use a computer in a basic and detailed manner without talking down to them. The show’s explanations are concise yet informative, encouraging curiosity and rewarding questions that may seem silly but lead to profound insights. The content highlights the importance of not underestimating the average person’s ability to understand complex technical matters and emphasizes the value of explaining inner workings in a way that allows individuals to develop their own models. The show’s approach aligns with Richard Feynman’s belief that simplifying technical matters to the point of being unrecognizable is a disservice to the audience.
