In 1980 computers were still somewhat uncommon, but becoming more and more common in homes. These computers were black screens whith either green or white text on the screen. They had 5.25" floppy drives that if you wanted to run a program you had to use at least one floppy to run it. Many programs had at least 3, some had 10. You would get to a certain point in the program and it would tell you "Please insert disk #."
Many people in 1980 learned Basic so they could give the computer direct commands and make their own programs and pictures. If you've seen 8-bit Video Games you have an idea of what these graphics looked like at that point in time.
