Professor David Nicholas on BBC2 Virtual Revolution
19 February 2010
Professor David Nicholas, Head of UCL Information Studies, will reveal how use of the internet has affected our capacity to read and write at length, in The Virtual Revolution on 20 February.
The four-part series has investigated the history of the internet, its trailblazers and how it has reshaped a variety of aspects of our lives. The final episode features an interview with Professor David Nicholas, the preliminary results of the online experiment filmed at UCL in November to identify different 'web species' that have evolved over the past 20 years, and an invitation to participate in the next stage of research.
The programme will air on BBC2 on Saturday 20 February at 8:15pm.
