9 January 2024 – London and Online - start the New Year by joining Archives of IT for a one-day event


Discussing the extraordinary technical and social developments that enabled the internet to revolutionise computing and communications and significantly change our lives.


Technologists who were instrumental in its establishment and the social scientists who analysed its impact will contribute to five interactive sessions of personal insights, information sharing, debate and networking.


They include Prof Jim Norton, whose early career at the Post Office epitomises the internet’s modest and uncertain beginnings and the ingenuity of the people behind it: “They wanted me to be clerk of works on a project that nobody believed would have any importance whatsoever, which was the development of the first packet switches in the UK.”


Full programme, speakers’ bios and bookings at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/archives-of-it-forum-on-the-histories-of-the-internet-tickets-691738758247<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/archives-of-it-forum-on-the-histories-of-the-internet-tickets-691738758247?aff=oddtdtcreator>
