-
Over a single generation, the Web and digital media have remade nearly every aspect of modern culture, transforming the way we work, learn and connect in ways that we're only beginning to understand. FRONTLINE producer Rachel Dretzin (Growing Up Online) teams up with one of the leading thinkers of the digital age, Douglas Rushkoff (The Persuaders, Merchants of Cool), to continue to explore life on the virtual frontier. The film is the product of a unique collaboration with visitors to the Digital Nation Web site, who for the past year have been able to react to the work in progress and post their own stories online. Dretzin and her team report from the front lines of digital culture -- from love affairs blossoming in virtual worlds, to the thoroughly wired classrooms of the future, to military bases where the Air Force is fighting a new form of digital warfare. Along the way, they begin to map the critical ways that technology is transforming us -- and what we may be learning about ourselves in the process.

Buying a goat online....this ecommerce site is a great example of enterprise in developing countries. "EthioGift provides the fastest and most reliable gift delivery service in Addis Ababa. Remember your familly and friends backhome on holidays (such as Fasika, New Year, Genna etc.) as well as on important private occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, weddings etc." The gifts available, such as goats and other livestock, as well as the descriptions required for the addresses gives many clues about the culture and the terrain of the country. A brief overview of the country: where, population, religion, climate, import/export etc is a good starter before exploring this site. The terms of service are also interesting: "...the origin or type of the sheep except for the weight (EthioGift makes a lot of effort to to choose types of sheep that are the choice of most people, but cannot guaranty that the sheep will be from certain locality or breed of the customer)"
