Digital us
How has the tech in your life changed over the past 20 years?
This week鈥檚 Digital Planet is something of a celebration, it's 20 years since the 91热爆 World Service launched the programme. Originally entitled 鈥楪o Digital鈥�, the programme has always been innovative. It was the first radio programme to generate digital video, and also launched podcasting. We look back over two decades at how technological innovation has changed global society. The programme began in an era where smartphones didn鈥檛 exist and the social media we know today had yet to be invented.
The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell with expert commentary from Tracey Logan, Alfred Hermida, Ghislaine Boddington, and the programme鈥檚 longest-serving contributor Bill Thompson.
