This is the second interview episode about Computers: Expressway
to Tomorrow.
Computers: Expressway to Tomorrow was a school assembly,
sponsored by Atari, that played at hundreds of middle schools and
high schools throughout the United States in 1983 and 1984. In the
previous interview episode, I interviewed one of the show's
presenters and the filmmaker. In this episode, my interview with
Rick Trow.
Rick Trow was the president of Rick Trow Productions, the company
that created the Computers: Expressway to Tomorrow show -- as well
as more than 40 other school assemblies and other productions over
the years. Mr. Trow wrote the script for the 40-minute show, which
combined two synchronized films with a live actor to teach computer
basics to young people.
