Re: [ih] WEDS: BBC Radio 4 ‏ Aleks in Wonderland: The Story of the Internet – Episode 1

[Leo Vegoda]

Hi,

This series looks like it will build on her earlier work, in which she
looked at the development of other technologies we rely on every day,
including satellite communications and transoceanic cables.

It was a very enjoyable listen and still available for download as a podcast.

Regards,

Leo
