Week 2: Download revolution

Thanks for that James - it's still available at the moment, http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/documentaries/iwish/

(go to the 'Listen' box, then 'more shows' and it's in the A-Z)

I listened to the programme live - all I can say is "thank goodness for Radio 4". Although the programme contained lots of interesting information, it was decidedly low-brow. It didn't quite begin "Yo dude! Listen-up. We gonna tell you 'bout da internet." but I was expecting it any minute. What a shame to waste an exclusive inteview with Tim Berners-Lee on such a production.

What did you young people think?

[James]

Not sure if "young people" applies to me, but after all that I didn't actually listen to it!

James, it's not available as a podcast but you can listen again. Go to the link in Trudi's post above and then click the "More Shows" link in the LISTEN box. Click "I Wish I'd thought of that" to start playing. You'll need RealPlayer installed to listen to it (I think).
