@oldbritishtelly #JamesBurke was never off the telly in those days. Amazing to see how the future was presented on these shows

[1971] Tomorrow's World - James Burke reports on the latest developments in fibre optics production and use. Fibre optics are hair thin glass rods which can carry electric light and are less limited in use than conventional light bulbs. But just what can these miracles of modern science be used for?

Why do I try and restrict the data I give away?

Oh, I don't know. Maybe because I watched James Burke - Connections back when I was a kid and some of it sunk in.

[1991] Masters of Illusion- This documentary hosted by James Burke is a fascinating examination of the concept of how we see things, specifically how images that appear to our eyes to be three-dimensional are rendered convincingly on flat surfaces. Starting out in a movie studio special effects lab, Burke explains how visual illusions practiced today actually began during the Renaissance.

@Richard_Littler @scarfolk - this is straight out of #Scarfolk - including the slighty chipper / sinister voice over from #JamesBurke and great bleached out 16mm film aesthetic, alongside casual sexism, dodgy motors and abundant cigarettes #hacking1972style #BBCarchive #infosec #hustling

I don't know if these are legal viewing or not. But I actually already own the series – on VHS tapes. It really was so good I went out of my way to order a set (very expensive at the time) after seeing it in the early 1980s on PBS.

Everyone should watch these to get just the barest glimpse of how history and technology are deeply intertwined.
