Want to know what Australian kids in the 1990s thought about computers? This clip from the children’s infotainment show It Goes gives insight into their attitudes about digital tools and games, what their parents think, and even how much screen time they consider appropriate.

Viewed now, the footage provides an interesting counterpoint to the internet age, showing how much computers now permeate modern life. In contrast, the children here talk about the device with innocence. Most of them refer to it as 'The Computer', revealing a reverence for this new tech and simple functions like printing and word processing. In this clip, divergent attitudes are already clear: some kids are drawn to the lure of computer games, while others think that spending too much time in front of a screen is 'antisocial'.

These ‘90s kids eventually agree on the ideal time spent in front of a computer: 'Two hours after school'.
