In 1979, when I was doing a television special for PBS on the coming of the information age, titled The Information Society, my team went to Cedar Rapids Iowa and just walked into a retail computer store and started filming. This boy and his dad were there to buy a new computer. When I 1st posted a version of this clip, people asked me who was and what happened to him and I had no idea. A subscriber using sophisticated software found him– Jay Ehrlich- and he is doing just fine in Chicago as a corporate executive and his dad is still alive. It was a wonderful experience to be able to just walk into a store, with no warning, and film interviews like this one. Thank you Jay Ehrlich and your dad.
