EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1980s when technology was just beginning to make its way into classrooms. The image captures a heartwarming moment at Abingdon Road Infants School in Middlesbrough, as ICI Wilton generously presented a BBC Micro Computer to the school. The excitement and curiosity on the children's faces are palpable as they eagerly gather around the computer. Amongst them is five-year-old Amer Qayyum, who confidently leads his schoolmates in exploring the wonders of this new technological marvel. With tiny fingers dancing across the keys, Amer effortlessly navigates through educational games and programs designed to enhance their learning experience. This photograph beautifully encapsulates how education was evolving during that time period – embracing technology as a powerful tool for young minds. It symbolizes not only a gift from ICI Wilton but also an investment in these primary age children's futures. The significance of this event extends beyond mere entertainment or playtime; it represents an important milestone in bridging the gap between traditional teaching methods and emerging technologies. As these young students immerse themselves in this digital world, they unknowingly lay the foundation for future generations' reliance on computers within educational settings. Dave Jamieson skillfully captures this transformative moment with his lens, freezing it forever within our memories. This image serves as a reminder of how far we have come technologically while highlighting the enduring importance of providing quality education to our youngest learners.
