Notes de l'éditeur
- We need to get people in the UK much more hands on with technology and increase their tech savvy
- Steve Shirley is a great UK Tech heroine! Have you heard of her?
- Dina St Johnston is another UK tech heroine….have you heard of her? Why don’t we celebrate the amazing tech heros that we have in this country?
- Where was the first cashpoint installed? Cashpoints are an example of tech that works almost 100% of the time, we need to show the UK that we have technology all around us that improves our standard of living. Computer says YES! Not Computer says No.
- We have some amazing projects in the UK, that promote tech and computing, @londonhackspace is an example of a very exciting grass roots project. There are hackspaces all over the country, find your local one and go visit
- There are loads of projects now in the UK and elsewhere. Let’s work together to get the UK in pole position in the tech sector.
- I believe .... That most people in the UK have a negative attitude towards technology: big govt IT projects, MS Word, Computer says No! That if people understood how much tech has improved their standard of living: cashpoints, mobiles, logistics, cars, washing machines etc and how key it is for innovation to occur And Were helped to feel that they could have a go themselves thus demystifying it We would have a good chance of being a key player in the 2015 global marketplace.
- Worldeconomy is growing Shift in power from west to east The west dont get it ....yet Youth unemployment in UK = 1 million 20% school leavers cannot read/write In India tablets being given to 5 million students Here we are just deciding that we might need computing in the curriculum
- For country to be successful it needs: Cash Commodities Creativity We only have Creativity
- Main things impacting business over next 5 years: Mobile, internet, cloud, social, information So, important for us to be a player in the global marketplace we need to stake our claim in the future. To do that we need tech savvy/tech friendly population, to maximise our chances of producing tech enabled companies, exploiting UK creativity
- Now digital revolution, we led during industrial revolution, we can be a key player in the digital revolution, but we need to get our skates on. Tech savvy/literate public is key to maximising the opportunity we now have.
- The <goto> Effect…..This is why we need everyone in the UK to be more tech savvy…
- The aims of the <goto> Foundation
- Watch the video about #gototech our first @gotofdn event aimed at getting 7-9 year old kids excited about computer science, the result was 90 inspired children plus many inspired teachers and parents
