The Computer Chronicles has many episodes to its name from over 20 seasons explicitly showing not just how computer technology evolved, but changes in approaches to computer use amongst many other factors. Due to the sheer number of episodes it can be difficult to pick out specific editions which stand out, or which can be considered iconic. This page aims to provide episodes of note allowing the new, casual or even experienced CC viewer to perhaps encounter a hidden gem. This page will be updated periodically so keep checking back for updates every so often.
