Among the forward-thinking digital projects of the computing silver age was the Domesday Project, which aimed to preserve mid-eighties life in the UK by means of digitizing slide photos and text describing day-to-day life. The text was on floppies mailed in to the project's headquarters. The final product took up two laserdiscs. Forward thinking in concept, I should say, not necessarily in execution.But this invaluable cultural document has been in the process of revivification for several months, and the final product is about to be opened to the public at the UK's famous Bletchley Park museum. The original desktop version (on a BBC Micro PC) will be usable, but they've also put together a touch-enabled version for a Surface-like touchscreen table.
