       In retrospect, it's completely incredible that apparently not for a moment did the team behind the 1981 UK Computer Literacy Project consider a non-British-built computer as the project's flagship.That's not a criticism; it's an acknowledgment of how vibrant the UK computer manufacture scene was at the time. The BBC asked seven different British computer manufacturers to make a pitch.In the context of the current talk about data sovereignty and looming technofascism, the choice to wind down the British computer industry (in the name of efficiency?) seems shortsighted.Alison Gazzard, "Now the Chips Are Down", MIT Press Platform Studies series, 2016.#history #retrocomputing #industry #sovreignty
