'New wave computing' programme from the BBC
Posted by Paul Miller at January 12, 2007 11:08 AM
A colleague of mine draws my attention to last night's episode of In Business on BBC Radio 4. He was clearly listening to that whilst I got stuck into a bit of Vogels...
To quote the programme's web page;
“Peter Day talks to some of the rising stars of the new revolution and finds out how the computer industry is changing yet again.
The world’s biggest computer companies are being threatened by a host of new start-ups powered by open-source software, strings of inexpensive computers, and ‘mash-up’ websites which combine information in innovative ways.”
Interesting stuff, and it can often be valuable to take a step back from issues we think that we understand in depth, and just listen to how they're discussed in a more mainstream channel such as this one.
How might you explain your work to Peter Day? Having to think it through in this way certainly helps me to challenge some of my own assumptions, and to become far clearer in my own thinking.
The programme is available through the BBC's Listen Again service for the next week. It's also part of their podcast and download trial, which means you can grab a copy and keep it after the week is up.
