People have direct experience of the impact of computers in their everyday lives; working on documents, playing videogames, using smartphones, etc. What the general public doesn't usually see is the behind the scenes infrastructure (it's nothing short of astonishing that I can ask Youtube for a video posted 15 years ago and have it come up with no perceptible delay) as well as scientific and engineering megaprojects that use, to laypeople, unimaginable amounts of computing power to improve their lives (e.g. supercomputing in weather forecasting) or push back the boundaries of human knowledge (e.g. data processing at the LHC, SETI@Home, Folding@Home). Capturing the public's imagination with the wondrousness of these human achievements is one of the things I would think that a computer museum should want to do.
