Home computers like the ZX and the C64 started the revolution that led to playing computer games in our homes and having multimedia computers at all. The alto and the mac led to the use of productivity applications like word processors and to the office computer.
I've learned to program on a C64, but much later seeing how the ZX81 worked led me to design and eventually create my own 8 bit computer from scratch. Seeing that it can be done with so few parts and still make it work was enlightening.
