Administrative papers
- Scope & Content:
-
Faxes, correspondence and prints of emails between Donald Michie, Jean Michie, Rupert Macnee and their lawyers. Also includes copies of legal documents, invoices and board meeting agendas and minutes.
The papers discuss how Michie and the HCLF felt that technology and the internet's rapid development was causing people to be left behind, creating a gap in skills required to obtain jobs. The HCLF began developing two downloadable computer games designed to build the user's perceptual and motor skills, while simultaneously developing the computer's knowledgebase. One game was based on a pole-balancing polecat, the other was based on Michie's earlier 'Trains' competition. Some skills could be learnt using a voice instruction system the HCLF developed known as 'Automated Voice-Over Training'. Macnee provided the test voice for the system, likening himself to Obi-Wan Kenobi teaching Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars films. The papers suggest how the HCLF could try and partner with Disney or Warner Brothers to create a version for children.
