I recently came across a very interesting video where a woman named Susan Kare demonstrates the 1984 Mac user interface:
The show was called Computer Chronicles. It was a half-hour show that ran from 1984-2002 on PBS.
I find the hosts quite interesting:

Much of the discussion is about how the Mac, being graphical, makes it easy to learn. Karen explains terms like “window” and “menu” to the hosts. It’s all extremely formal, too, with everyone taking this very seriously.
It’s also funny to hear about things being modernized described as “bring it into the 1980s.”
