Darwin for broadband users
Friday 18th April 2008, by Daniel King
Broadband users will now be able to read the first draft of Darwin's theory of evolution, reports the BBC.
The naturalist's papers were previously only available at Cambridge University library, although the uploading of the documents to the internet now means that they can be read by anyone.
Dr John van Wyhe of Cambridge University commented: "The fact that everyone around the world can now see them on the web is simply fantastic."
Meanwhile, other educational benefits of broadband use have been highlighted by a new programme designed by Orange UK.
It was revealed that the new Safety Online programme will help teachers to introduce their students to the internet in a safe and creative way, including clear explanations of the best way to enjoy social networking sites.
Part of the scheme includes short films, which have been created to highlight issues such as sharing information and making friends online in a safe manner.
