In this print titled "Ministry of Social Security" we are transported back to the bustling city of Long Benton, Newcastle Upon Tyne in April 1967. The image captures a pivotal moment in history when technology was beginning to revolutionize the way administrative tasks were handled. The focal point of the picture is undoubtedly the control section of a computer, which stands as a testament to the rapid advancements taking place during this era. This cutting-edge machine holds within its memory banks an extensive file on every working person and pensioner in Britain, showcasing just how far society had come in terms of record-keeping capabilities. Surrounding this technological marvel are dedicated staff members who diligently work alongside it. Their presence serves as a reminder that even with such advanced machinery, human expertise remains essential for its proper functioning. These individuals represent not only their own commitment but also symbolize countless others across various sectors embracing new technologies to streamline processes and improve efficiency. This photograph encapsulates both the excitement and optimism that characterized the 1960s boom city era. It showcases how technology was harnessed by governmental institutions like the Ministry of Social Security to better serve citizens' needs.
