The Cambridge Group will be showing the film “Push the Button” at the offices of ARM Ltd, Cambridge on 20th June at 7pm.

Book online cambridge20062012.eventbrite.com/ and we look forward to seeing you there. A small fee of just over £3 includes the film and the chance to network with fellow professionals.

This is a great opportunity to see this brilliant French film telling the story of how our lives have become so dependent on and entwined with technical instructions that support so much of life’s stuff.
