If the 1980s put computers in the home, then Sir Clive Sinclair’s ZX Spectrum - which celebrates its 40th anniversary in April 2022 - put coding in the bedroom.
Sir Clive’s laser-like focus on cost efficiency and technical innovation yielded a system of such power and at such an incredibly low-price that a generation could turn their silicon dreams into digital realities. Yesterday’s coders became today’s entrepreneurs, creatives, technologists - and more.
The National Museum of Computing celebrates this legacy with an event on April 23 where you will hear from some of those behind the story - and experience the ZX Spectrum in action.
Sir Clive’s son, Crispin Sinclair will join us for a hosted discussion sharing his unique insight into the life and work of his dad - the legendary technology pioneer and entrepreneur.
