Beginners and general audience wouldn't really need that much new courses in "Computational Thinking", such as those mentioned in this article When Code is Hot (see the comments also) - if they knew about that BBC Documentary Series produced 30 years ago and still does excellent job, even though it talks about BASIC and 8-bit computers. ;)
To me it's awesome, excellent examples from the golden age of personal computers, better known as "microcomputers" at the time, and they are still valid, now just running at bigger scale.

In the part 2 ot that episode, there's a reference which is similar to the examples I've given regarding hierarchical generalization/causations/simulators of virtual universes in my lecture for general audience:
General Intelligence Principles
A Robotic competition similar to "Robocup", with "micro mice" finding their path in a maze - 30 years ago...
Various memory media and the Encyclopedia Britanica on a Videodisc, accessed by an 8-bit computer with video-playback, in 1982:

First episode, introduction to computers, "1982 - The year of the information technologies" :) - http://youtu.be/HV6W0QXoMbQ
Enjoy!
Another cool historical/retro-review channel with old computers and cool old games, I recommend if you love that stuff:
The BBC Microcomputer:
Evolution of PC Audio - As Told by Secret of Monkey Island
There are tons of nostalgic fun with IBM-PC, 386, 486s and games from all times and all kinds of platforms/consoles too.
AdLib Sound Card - Part 2: Line-Out Audio Samples - LGR
The awesome Commodore 64 - I wish I had one
The first IBM-PC: IBM 5150:
If you like that stuff, you probably know The Angry Game Nerd, this site is less popular, but a lot of fun, too. :)
