'show' is the definition.
(both can mean broadcast)

'computer technology will encounter resistance?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'technology' could be 'ai' (AI is an example) and 'ai' is found in the answer.
'resistance?' could be 'r' (electronics abbreviation) and 'r' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for air that I've seen before include "put on radio?" , "Element; tune" , "Display" , "Ventilate or give expression to" , "- - on a G-string" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
