So it was on the day that having first been introduced to the concept of Systems Analysis on an IBM 64K Mainframe during my training as an Upper Airspace Area Radar Controller, I provided a demonstration of the Technology behind the Volcano Videodisc Project, which as it happens was the self same early development technology which Tim Berners Lee later utilised for creating the HyperText Transition Protocol on which the launch and development of the INTERNET is based. I can only imagine that they were all pretty impressed because of the hand clapping and the extensive question and answer dialogue which then pursued. …; Added by Michael Grove at 14:05 on May 11, 2022

The birth of Leonardo coincided with that of the printing press, and [IT] was of course Oxford University Press [OUP], who established their own, and published their very first book in 1478, just two years after Caxton set up the first printing press in England. Track forward several centuries, and following an invite by Nuneham Ladies College in Cambridge to demonstrate my first BBC Micro based Interactive Multimedia system, two senior members of OUP invited me to come and work as a consultant to Rex Beddis, who was the author of the Sense of Place Series three-book course for lower secondary school. …; Added by Michael Grove at 15:06 on March 9, 2023
