I hear it in this video too. Both the presenter Susan Kare and the 2 interviewers speak at like 75% of the rate I expect people to, today. I speculate the fact video is used differently today than in 1984 is the culprit. Video today needs to be entertaining and compelling. It must keep ones interest. In 1984 there were fewer (video) resources and so they could take their time, and allow the viewer to experience and interpret the material on their own, without the worry or risk that the viewer would "change the channel."

There were certainly fast “shouty” shows back then, like The McLaughlin Group. Computer Chronicles was a lot more laid back. That may have just been how Cheifet and Kildall actually we’re all the time, or they might have been extra mellow to fit the PBS vibe. I don’t know.
