TV show searches for Computing readers to go back in time

The television company behind the hit shows Who Do You Think You Are and New Tricks is looking for an IT-literate family willing to live their lives without technology as part of a new programme. The BBC4 TV series, co-produced by The Open University and the BBC, will look at the impact that technology has had on family life over the past 40 years.

The three-part show will take a modern British family back to the 1970s and then fast forward them through the domestic technological revolution of the 1980s and the 1990s. "In the 1970s the family will experience life without the technology we've begun to take for granted; they'll live a seventies life in a seventies house without Sky+, Facebook and the Wii," said Wall to Wall, the show's producer.
