Digital Nation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Digital Nation: Life On The Virtual Frontier is an interactive website and Frontline documentary, first aired February 2, 2010,[1] from Producer and Director Rachel Dretzin[2] and correspondent Douglas Rushkoff.[3] The website features segments from the film in production, blogs from the production team, and user-generated video and audio about experiences with technology. The documentary's premise is "to examine the risks and possibilities, myths and realities presented by the new digital culture we all inhabit"[4] and "aims to capture life on the digital frontier and explore how the Web and digital media are changing the way we think, work, learn, and interact."[5] Digital Nation has partnered with the Verizon Foundation to create this multiplatform initiative and is projected to air nationally on the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) in early 2010.[6]
