The spread of information-technology-based products and services that has appeared in the UK since IT Year in 1982 is due in no small part to the initiative launched by the Department of Trade & Industry. Here we look at some of the successes and the way in which the Government is continuing to pursue the ‘coming of age’ of IT - Author(s): J.M. Watson

In less than 30 years, computer-based products have invaded most of our lives. A quarter of a century ago the computer was a research tool, with a few monolithic multimillion pound (at today's values) giants delivered to large companies and scientific establishments, in many cases purchased for prestige purposes. Today we find the computer in one form or another in pocket calculators, TV games, in the home, commerce, industry and scientific and military establishments - Author(s): Kenneth Corfield
