Strange, But True.

They are probably around my age if still living, and I don't remember other kids being that well spoken.

Maybe they were better schooled in Great Britain where I assume this was recorded.  I don't know, I feel
like the kids I grew up with would have just been like, 'uh, maybe there'd be some flying cars and stuff".

I don't remember anyone talking about or even being aware of computers.  I remember reading about
computers back in the '60s but they were just something that the scientists had access to back then.

You're bang-on the money there, WTB, the recruiting of children for TV articles was more stringent back then and a narrative
of well-being and the hint of school education being a beneficial aspect to rearing a child far-more important than today's
perception. In today's parlance, this video is 'fake', but it was in a time when mainstream media had a monopoly on delivering
approved information.

We're so blinded today by the seemingly eternal notion that the written and broadcasted word always has merit over our own
personal thoughts, that a whole economy has been generated through the idea that if many can hear and see it, then it must
be true.

Deceit is alive and well, Just look at the many video-sharing websites as an example and see how opinions are effected -not for
being untrue or inappropriate for a healthy society, but just not the correct narrative certain parties desire.
.................................

As far as discussing computers back then, the majority of folk knew very little of these light-blinking machines because
computers were presented as something vague -but important. However, the real truth is that for many, purchasing such
an expensive item was beyond their means and somehow, we'd managed to get along without one!
