DIGITAL NATION: Brilliant Documentary from USA PBS TV.



This link will push you towards a superb documentary that explores the impact of new media on the way we live our lives.It was aired in FEB 2010 and is perfect for A2 Media Studies. The link below will allow access to the first ten minute YOU TUBE segment.The whole documentary is split into Seven YOU TUBE chunks.

Doug Rushkoff is a very stimulating and challenging academic interested in how digital culture is changing the way we perceive and interact with our world.I will post more Rushkoff over the coming weeks.Rachel Dretzin is a fine film-maker and journalist and these two individuals combine here to create an engaging exploration of the effects of digital culture.

THIS IS A VERY RELEVANT DOCUMENTARY FOR ANY INDIVIDUAL INTERESTED IN STUDYING THE IMPACT OF NEW MEDIA.THIS FILM, ALONG WITH THE BBC's VIRTUAL REVOLUTION, IS AN EXTREMELY APPROPRIATE RESOURCE FOR CONSIDERING THE IMPACT OF NEW DIGITAL MEDIA AT MEST 3.

This is the trailer:
