Zak Wolf Reviews The Berenstain Bears' Computer Trouble!

Here's a different kind of Berenstain Bears vlog from Zak Wolf, where I review one of the newer books made well after the PBS/Nelvana animated series concluded: "The Berenstain Bears' Computer Trouble!" I go over how they present 1990s-style boxy desktop PCs as fairly new products in 2010 (complete with CRT monitors!), how using the Internet was different when I was a cub myself (social media didn't even exist back then!), how Internet usage as an adult is different and way more essential compared to when you're younger (there's a slim chance today's adults can get by with only one hour of Internet time a day!), compare it a little to an earlier Big Chapter Book "The Berenstain Bears Lost in Cyberspace" and how Internet usage has evolved in the education world (especially when the COVID-19 pandemic happened), and how old-fashioned the Berenstain Bears sometimes are in certain cases.
