Listen out for bugs that sing
A Northumbria University lecturer has helped devise a scheme to use music to catch computer bugs. Dr Paul Vickers from Northumbria and Professor James Alty from Loughborough University's Department of Computer Science have come up with an idea that would see features of computer programming languages being given short, musical themes. All similar... view more... (2002-11-21)

Computer use at home and at school
The researchers interviewed 80 children aged seven to 11 years from five schools in the East Midlands. They reported that computer based work at school often produces a lasting product such as a story or a picture, which is often displayed in the school building. In contrast, children's domestic creativity is less often celebrated in this public... view more... (1999-08-23)

Tactics Technology Could Produce Tomorrow's Tennis Champions
