The BBC Archive has posted a 1992 retrospective on the BBC Computer Literacy Project, a British government initiative from the 1980s that used television programming and the Acorn BBC Micro to prepare young people for the information age. The piece reflects on the cultural impact of the project, the high-spec BBC Micro hardware, and the optimism of that era — contrasting it with the decline of educational computing in the 1990s and its eventual revival through the Raspberry Pi and BBC micro:bit.
