February 2, 2010 marks the debut of an exciting Frontline documentary on PBS – the culmination of yearlong support by the Verizon Foundation. The documentary examines the magnitude and speed with which digital media has permeated our culture, and takes an in-depth look at the implications.
Based on a mosaic of over a hundred video testimonials, the documentary pays particular attention to how digital media can be used to unlock potential in education and also the perils when these tools are used in warfare.
