Excellent Frontline documentary about the impact of the Internet on our lives. This hour-long special gives a factual and insightful update on how constant connectivity is changing our brains, our relationships and our society. It reports on recent studies at Stanford, MIT, Korea, China -- and the virtual worlds of Second Life. Highly recommended.
