The BBC has recently aired a superb series called the Virtual Revolution. The series, in the words of the BBC, charts
two decades of profound change since the invention of the World Wide Web, weighing up the huge benefits and the unforeseen downsides
It looks at all aspects of the Internet from its humble beginnings, the use of it by states, the growth of ecommerce and collaboration. There are tons of interviews with people like Bill Gates, Eric Schmidt, Jeff Bezos, Clay Shirky, Steve Wozniak, Marissa Meyer, Sir Tim Berners Lee, Stephen Fry, Chad Hurley, John Battelle and many, many more key players. Most episodes cannot be viewed on iPlayer (in the UK) anymore but I have found that 10-15 segments can be found on YouTube
