Thinking Digital: The next generation
BBC Backstage was happy to be part of the Thinking Digital: The next generation conference. The conference was setup by the thinking digital team and Gateshead Council to get young people into the Digital workplace. The line up of speakers was very well chosen and the day flew by at a brisk pace due to the mix of talks, questions and music. Actually the day started with lots of talk about dating and hooking up then became dominated by music. Tom Scott geek comedian even made a joke about the amount of sex, music and rock/roll there was in the conference. Paul Callaghan got everyone to sing along with him but Mike Southon blew everyone away with his talk where he compared the Beatles success to Startup success.
It was a excellent conference and a lot of students got a new lease of energy.
