What is Information Pioneers?

Information Pioneers is a campaign from BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, that seeks to show how the contributions of five very different people helped to shape the information society that we live in today.

These five short films, created by an award-winning production team, demonstrate how information empowers people, and we hope they will encourage you to use IT as a tool to innovate, just like these Pioneers did.

BCS members helped us choose who to profile (check out our Top 150 for a longer list), but we want your input too. Vote for your favourite pioneer and tell us what you think about the videos here on this site, on Twitter, on our Facebook page or via email.
