7 November 2024 - History of Computing 3, 80s and on

In this, the 3rd session we have had on the history of computing, we covered events that primarily occurred in the 1980s or later, albeit with lead into the story where it helped.  The main topics were personal computing in the UK, the IBM PC and compatibles, operating systems, the RISC architecture and ARM, World Wide Web and a mention of AI.  Obviously, this breadth sacrificed depth somewhat.  The slides can be seen by clicking here.
