Introduction
We at WiredSoc believe that computers are an essential part of everyday life. It is becoming harder and harder to get by in the world without touching a computer for whatever reason, especially in academia. As using computers becomes more of a necessity, we wish to ensure that everyone has the ability to use, benefit and understand them.
WiredSoc was formed in March 1997, from the ashes of the Virtual Society. Virtual Society was formed in the late eighties, when the Computer Society (1987) and the Mathematical & Physical Society (early 1940s) decided to amalgamate. Effectively, the two societies have now “demerged”, but with a number of important changes to the philosophy of WiredSoc.
Aims
To give it's members access to technology and to promote use and understanding of computing technology.
