ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Computer Conservation Society

Okay kiddo, so do you know what a computer is?

It's a machine that helps us do lots of things like playing games, watching videos, and even learning new things.

Now, imagine that there are some really old computers, just like your grandpa's old camera or your grandma's antique watch. These computers are very important because they helped people do all sorts of things many years ago.

The Computer Conservation Society is a group of people who want to make sure that these old computers are not forgotten and are preserved for future generations to see and learn from.

Just as we have museums for ancient artifacts, the Computer Conservation Society believes that it's important to have museums for old computers too. They work hard to restore and maintain these old computers so that they can be displayed and studied by people who are interested in technology and history.

In a way, the Computer Conservation Society helps us understand how we got to where we are today with our super cool computers and gadgets. And who knows, maybe one day you'll want to check out one of these old computers and see just how much they've changed over time!
