Tron

OK I’m showing my age but I found this on YouTube today and had an ‘oh wow’ moment.

I can recall watching this movie as a kid and thinking at the time it was actually going to happen one day.

Well I was wrong (as far as I know) but the fact that such a cool computer generated movie was on the big screen as I grew up did influence and grow my fascination with all things computing.

Some time ago I recall posting to this blog a similar story about a 1983 TV series called Whiz Kids… Richie and his mates on BMX bikes with the aid of his home computers solving crimes!

The question now is… what telly programmes (or should I really be saying YouTube clips!) will be the same sort of influences on the kids of today?
