00:00The Queen and I are delighted to join you for this 28th Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting.
00:08And I must say it is rather sobering to think that I attended my first of these meetings almost 30
00:15years ago.
00:17It is even more sobering to think that 30 years ago most people have never bought anything online.
00:25Many have never sent an email and connecting to the web involved a rather alarming series of screeches from a
00:34telephone line.
00:36In fact, in those days the internet was so new people referred to it as the information superhighway.
00:44I suspect that 30 years later many of those early users, some in this room perhaps, are still trying to
00:54remember their first passwords.
