Introduction

In this programme, we’ll hear about a new academic subject called Web Science, which studies the technology behind the internet. But from the human side, it’s also interested in how people interact with each other online. So we’ll be asking whether studying Web Science could make the internet better for humanity in the future. Neil and Sam talk about the subject and teach you vocabulary along the way.
