A Century of Change Personalities, Politics, Society & Culture 1922–2022

Dr Mark Pegg presented to the society in 2024 on the technology that enabled public broadcasting: 100 years of the BBC, crystal sets, valve radios and television through to the semi-conductors and microchips creating today’s multi-media age with computers, mobile phones and smart speakers.

By popular demand, members wanted more information on the people, social and cultural changes plus the impact of broadcasting on the way we live our lives.

This is a further presentation on the technology that uniquely entered our homes and changed us forever.
