The Dark Web

BBC World Service - Digital Planet, The Dark Web

The dark web explained; UyatEmes.kz: No Shame; Raspberry Pi and TensorFlow; Braille e-reader

Recent news reports of the German couple jailed for selling their child to paedophiles via the dark web have highlighted the growing pernicious use of the dark web and its growing impact on aspects of modern life.  Jamie Bartlett joins Click to discuss just how dark the dark web has now become. 

No Shame is the name of a website that aims to take the stigma out of sex education in Kazakhstan.  Click talks to Karlygash Kabatova, the website’s founder.

Raspberry Pi is a little computer that looks like a little circuit board with some USB ports and an HDMI socket. The latest instalment in the ‘Life of Pi’ is that the machine is now dabbling with AI thanks to a link up with Google’s TensorFlow.  Eben Upton, creator of the Raspberry Pi joins Click to discuss this development.

Click is given a sneak preview of a new Braille e-reader.  It is a working prototype right now but its inventors tell Click when they hope it will be ready for the market.  Ed Rogers of Bristol Braille joins Click with the latest news.
