‘Hello Computer’ is a story of a working-class girl who begins
a life-long love affair with technology after seeing a computer for
the first time in 1967. Her journey takes us through exciting times
and epic events, from the dawn of the internet to the dotcom boom,
from punch cards to the raspberry pi and virtual worlds. Linda
shares her experiences of computing through real life stories where
systems are designed to make a difference to people’s lives.
Demonstrating that although technology changes constantly,
fundamentally, people don’t change that much. Against a backdrop
of unspoken bias the story captures the struggles faced by many
young women, then and now. It is positive, heart-warming and full
of hope that women will become more influential within tech. A
story of ambition, passion and programming, inspirational for
future generations of women and girls in STEM.
