Ian McNaught Davis presents a special programme, marking a decade of the BBC Computer
Literacy Project.
Ten years ago the BBC embarked on an ambitious project to help ordinary people to come to terms with the micro-computer revolution, which was making it possible for almost anyone to have their own computer. The project encompassed several television programmes like Micro Live, The Silicon Factor, Electric Avenue and The Computer Programme, and gave birth to a micro-computer, the BBC Micro.
