‘ICT is an integral part of modern life. It gives us almost instant access to facts, materials and services that could not have been conceived of even 15 years ago. It is vital that if Britain is to succeed as a nation our younger generation uses this ‘4th utility’ to enhance their life chances by understanding the breadth of knowledge and opportunity that ICT brings. It gives the ability to collaborate at all levels, both locally and globally.’ – Len Daniels
