In 1984, ABC introduced a new series of animated interstitals aimed at educating young viewers.
Unfortunately, only 4 Computer Critters shorts were produced. At the time, there was no such thing as the internet, as the information super-highway was in its infancy. Around this time, I was just getting used to using a computer, as part of a training course I was taking.

Today, it's still a teaching tool for beginners, but not much more. Rating: A.

I'm surprised it's still considered a learning tool considering it's so outdated! I do remember these shorts and it's funny how they thought we'd become a paperless society. One short claimed we'd be copying recipes straight off the computer screen in the kitchen!
Kind of ahead of its time, wasn't it?
Interesting fact, that's Rob Paulsen doing the voice of Hacker (the raccoon).
