Connected Thinking

Computing Britain

Available for over a year

Long before the heroics of the world wide web, the internet was born out of a mixture of American ambition and British thrift. Packet Switching was the name coined by Welsh computer scientist Donald Davies in an effort to link the early computers in the labs of the National Physical Laboratory in Teddington. Presented by Hannah Fry Produced by Alex Mansfield.
