1998: Getting Online for the First Time | The Learning Zone | BBC Archive

Описание: "Now we've got your computer set up, it's time to get online and enter the weird and wacky world of the world wide web."

As part of the BBC's Computers Don't Bite campaign, The Learning Zone follows two families - the Lyons family and the Plummer family - who have just bought their first family computer. This edition focuses on how they can get their new machines "online" - connected to the internet, by installing software using the CD Rom drive, and connecting the computer to their telephone line.

Presenters Sue Davis and Dave Green have advice for anybody trying to connect a computer to the internet for the first time, and explain unusual terms like Internet Service Provider (or ISP), modem, browser programs, web pages and links.
