Digital

Hello there young humanoids. I hope that you are enjoying the show. I am Robo Thespian and I was created here in Cornwall. I see digital everywhere I look. Technology is making our lives easier and more fun, and in places you might not expect. Don't just take my word for it. What do you think, Will? The digital world is not just imaginary things. Probably most of the products you're used to started out in digital form and now they've become real. It's your music, it's everything you watch, the clothes you wear, the bicycle you ride. It's everywhere. These days there's software in everything. Whether it's your thermostat that needs to talk to your phone or rocket ships. You'll find bits of code making all of those things work. In fact it took over 100 lines of code just to make this button work. Satellite and digital communications have connected us to the rest of the world and galaxies far far away. The advances in digital technology allow us to create rich interactive worlds which players haven't seen before. We can already use our face to unlock our phone and pay by Apple Pay and now we're exploring some different ways of using it. The tech definitely is just something that enables our creativity and definitely at the heart of everything we do. So we're really lucky to have colleges and universities that are designing the courses to find the next generation of digital pioneers. Programs connect ambitious graduates with big companies to get them started on their digital careers. It's really important to develop and encourage young people into the digital industries. The highlight of the year is always our mission to Mars work experience where we get them to code the Mars rover robots in order to get to the Martian surface. There's just so many different options to where you want to come into the tech sector. That means lots of different people working together. Lots of different people doing lots of exciting things. There are a lot of things that you need to learn on the technical side. If you have a passion for it then go for it. Oh it's great fun. You just have to take the leap. Digital technology is developing every day helping to share knowledge and inspiring creativity. Maybe one day you will be controlling robots like me to benefit the lives of people around the world.
