Ooh! Thanks for suggesting topics. I was actually looking for ideas on a title encompass a series that consists of topics similar to the ones you suggested!
I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
Everyone's mind is immediately going to puns. I usually do the same, but I actually don't think there's much wrong with The history of computer science: a mini web series.
I would seriously ask some non programmer friends, maybe they come up with names that surprise you!
For example, if it were a geology mini web series I would call it: "Such things we're all made of" which is also a straight up rip off from Shakespeare's The Tempest

Bits and PCs
Said like "bits and pieces"
Other "Bits" titles:
Bits to Bytes and Beyond
Bits of Complexity/Computation
OOOOH BYTE-SIZED HISTORY! love that
+1 for History Compiled
if it doesn't get used I'm going to totally steal it at some point...
Here are some ideas based on how far back you want to go:
Antikythera:
Complexity solved, ancient to modern
Mechanical Turk:
Fraud to God machines
Punch cards / mechanical calculators:
IO, from gears to Alpha Go

What about Hello World! ?
I think these two words can represent much about computer science.
And you can add something else to it to sound it better...

.history(can't believe no one has suggested this so far)
Down the memory lane.

Well, I'm bad at naming stuff :D

A(da) to Z(uckerberg): A Random Walk through CS history
PS. My point being it's a good time to put the spotlight on the people (especially hidden figures) and not just the tech.

Touring Turing?
I think Computer Science: the history or Computer Science through the years would be good titles
They let you know exactly what you will get :)
The Origin of Computer Science
Fact or Myth: CS
What about -
"Bits, bytes and bots: The history of computer science"
Thought of another one -
Bytes, bits and boots: The history of CS
From Ada to ARPA and beyond
"Encounters of the Nerd Kind"

The Turing Tapes

What about Turing Complete History?
