Royal Institution Christmas Lectures
go to Japan
The Royal Institution
Christmas Lectures were started in 1825 by Michael Faraday with the aim of presenting complex scientific topics to a general audience, and they continue to be held annually in London. The 2008 lectures, Hi-tech Trek: The Quest for the Ultimate Computer, were the first to be given on the theme of computer science,
and were repeated in August 2009 in Tokyo, and subsequently broadcast
on Japanese television. This was the 20th anniversary of the Christmas
Lectures in Japan, and you can watch the lectures (in English, or in
Japanese) using the following links:
