“Click (TV programme)”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Click (previously Click Online) is a weekly BBC television programme covering news and recent developments in the world of consumer technology, presented by Spencer Kelly.

There are different editions of the programme broadcast, two 30-minute programmes: (shown on BBC News), a global edition (BBC World News), and a 15-minute version (BBC One and BBC News during BBC Breakfast). A 4-minute version also appears on BBC World News at selected times of the week.

Thursday 29 December 2005 marked the last edition of Click Online, as the show was previously known. This coincided with the departure of presenter Stephen Cole after 295 shows. The programme was rebranded with new music and titles and now concentrates more on consumer issues, and not necessarily the internet or what users can do or visit "online".

The 12 March 2016 programme was broadcast in 360-degrees, and is the first entire episode of a TV programme to be broadcast thus.^[1]

BBC World Service broadcasts a weekly sister radio show, also called Click, presented by Gareth Mitchell and Bill Thompson.

Presenters

The presenter of Click is Spencer Kelly, who had already been a reporter and producer on the show, and also compiled reports for The Gadget Show on Channel 5. Kate Russell introduced featured websites in the weekly Webscape segment and now does general reporting. Other reporters include Dan Simmons, Lara Lewington, LJ Rich, Paul Carter, Jen Copestake, Marc Cieslak, Nick Kwek, Sumi Das,^[2] and Kate Russell^[3]

Previous presenters of the show include Stephen Cole who left the BBC to work for Al Jazeera International.

Botnet controversy

In 2009 the show and the BBC produced some controversy when it aired a special episode highlighting the dangers of botnets and how easy it was to get caught in one. The show bought control of a botnet of some 22,000 infected computers (for "a few thousand dollars")^[5] from a Russian hacker, and used it to send spam to an email address set up for the experiment and to perform a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack on a website set up by Prev-X (an internet security company that provided technical support for the show).^[6] After the programme was made the computers on the botnet were sent a piece of software to remove the malware and a warning was sent to them telling the users what had happened and that they were vulnerable.

The response was mixed with the show receiving many emails both for and against the programme along with some negative press.^[7]^[8] The BBC was criticized by some legal consulting organizations as well as computer security companies. Computer security expert and senior technology consultant at Sophos, Graham Cluley, asked in his blog whether the BBC was breaking the Computer Misuse Act - which makes it an offense in the UK to access or modify a third-party computer without the owner's consent.^[9] However internet security commentator Melih Abdulhayoğlu, founder of international computer security company Comodo Group, made a video in support of the BBC.^[10] Click rebutted criticisms by stating in its Twitter posts that: {{cquote|We would not put out a show like this one without having taken legal advice.|BBC Click Team, from Twitter^[6]^[11]}}

The programme is aired in 15 and 30 minute versions and available in the UK on the BBC iPlayer.
