Computer Addicts 1983 BBC
Yes, computer addicts existed back in 1983 and they don’t look much different than those glued to their smartphones now, besides the latter being far more portable. Chris Carter, an operations manager in the computer department of a borough council office, spent far more time on computers than his wife would have liked.



When Chris isn’t on his Commodore machine at the office, he can be found at a pub on a workday lunchtime enjoying an arcade game called Mr. Do! After getting off work, he puts up a few more hours on his computer at home. In all, Chris believes that he spends between 20 to 40 hours on computers alone each week.
