Up to now the computing experience has been divided into two - online and offline. Being online means using sites through a web browser, offline means working with different applications, mostly designed to work with documents not stored on the Internet, but instead on local file systems. However, changes changes in the way we communicate and work are starting to make this arrangement look creaky and old fashioned so thoughts have turned to how to integrate these two worlds.

Bletchley Park

Bletchley Park need your help! It was the site of the UK's main codebreaking establishment in World War 2 and the work done there significantly shortened the war and saved many lives. As well as the role it played in delivering the freedom we have today, it is also regarded as the birthplace of modern IT. Despite this significance, the site is in decay and desperately needs your support.

Shockingly, it receives no external funding and is being allowed to go into decline. You can help by signing this No.10 petition: http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/BletchleyPark/ and you can get more information by visiting http://www.bletchleypark.org.uk.
