It looks like this was being recorded for a news piece or documentary which means the camera operator isn't shooting in a style meant to be consumed as one continuous shot. They are just shooting what's called "b-roll" to cover the narrator's voiceover in the finished product. So when they're shooting all those tight shots they aren't expecting someone to ever see the raw un-edited footage. It's just something that would've been used for a few seconds before they cut to the next shot in the story.

This is actually interesting to see the older generation getting into computers when it was new. Imagine how futuristic it was to them and for them to be able to buy it. I was born in the 80s and it was new to me but it wasn’t a culture shock as it was to them. Cool video
