The Virtual Revolution

If you get a chance, watch out for the BBC’s Virtual Revolution series which is currently being broadcast in the UK.

The series give a rather polished view of the development of the Internet but is well worth the watch as it shows how personalisation has evolved.

Episode 4 ‘The Cost of Free’, is particularly good where Dr Aleks Krotoski gives the lowdown on how commerce has colonised the web. The programme looks at how search and marketing dominate our lives.

Without doubt the BBC will syndicate this series around the World and without doubt it’s coming to a small screen near you soon!

If you live in the UK you can watch online anytime at BBC iplayer or visit the Virtual Revolution website
