"Now the Chips Are Down" is a 1978 British television documentary episode about the importance and influence of microprocessors within the UK economy. Aired by the BBC as part of its Horizon series, it was produced by BBC Television and narrated by British radio and television presenter Paul Vaughan.[1]
The documentary is a report on the "applications and implications" of microprocessors to employment within the British economy.[2] Science historian Robert M.
