A 12 year old me watched this when it was broadcast. I knew after seeing the programme what I wanted do for a career. 40 years later I'm a software engineer - my teachers at school would be most suprised :)

I watched this on iPlayer a few months ago....if anything it seemed the revolution had already taken place, revealing just how big and sophisticated an industry it was by 1978, with the supply-chain already straddling the Pacific, chips designed and fabricated in the valley, and integrated and assembled in Asia.
