I have got to admit that I have been glued to BBC TV over the last couple of weeks watching two programs in particular, the first will be no surprise to those who know me “Empire of the Seas” which is fascinating because it demonstrates how the growth of the Navy and the governments spending on its development underwrote the industrial revolution.
The other program, which I happened on by chance, was “The Virtual Revolution”, the eye opening account of the birth of the internet and the WWW along with its effects on us is one not to be missed whether you are a techie or not. Two things struck me in the program, the first is that the inventor of the world wide web did not create it until 1998, after I had left school, and the second is the Sir Tim Berners-Lee was not that much older than me!!
The program is a four part series and if you have missed any of it take advantage of a piece of technology born out of this live changing technology and down load it on BBC iPlayer, http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/ , the first episode was on Satuday 30th Jan, stream it to your digital TV over a wireless link to the TV’s media streamer and see it in high definition which will definitely enhance the musing shots of Dr Aleks Krotoski.
What! you mean you don’t play digital content off the web on your TV!!
