I would say, don't talk about 40 col or 80 col text.  Just tell them the size of the computer screen was really small back in the day.  Then show them the IIc monitor or a picture of.  Kids these days are too used to using 65 inch tv's hooked up to their computer.  I don't know how I ever worked without one.  I have a 42 inch hooked up and now I can sit 20 ft back and still be able to read the text.
