episode summary
Here, Aleks charts how the Web is forging a new brand of politics, both in democracies and authoritarian regimes. With contributions from Al Gore, Martha Lane Fox, Stephen Fry and Bill Gates, Aleks explores how interactive, unmediated sites like Twitter and YouTube have encouraged direct action and politicised young people in unprecedented numbers. Yet, at the same time, the Web's openness enables hardline states to spy and censor, and extremists to threaten with networks of hate and crippling cyber attacks.
fun and viewer review
The internet can be dangerous but that is truly remarkable to not only connect most parts of the world but to be connected to handheld devices and essentually inside a hand with a few bottons send somethong around the world. That should be advanced as much as possible but only with the most caution.
