The following documentary is an important record of the early days of the BBS/comms world of computing. Particularly as in most cases it includes interviews with the individuals responsible for creating so many of the standards used. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBS:_The_Documentary

I watched the old https://archive.org/details/computerchronicles a while back. First reactions on Windows 3.0 or the Pentium, discussing different flavors of Unix, calling anything that fits onto a desk a micro computer. And any interview with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Kildall may he rest in peace.
