FYI. -rick http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/digitalnation/ COMING TUESDAY: DIGITAL NATION Airs Feb. 2nd, 9PM ET (check local listings) Two years ago, FRONTLINE producer Rachel Dretzin made a film called "Growing up Online" which looked at the ways technology is rapidly transforming childhood for the "digital natives" who've known only a world of 24/7 connectivity and media, Facebook and web cams. This week, Dretzin is back with a project that itself "grew up online," a FRONTLINE first that began with a pioneering effort on the web, and has involved the audience in the making of this Tuesday night's film the whole way through. It's called "Digital Nation," and it's a wide-ranging journey through life on the virtual frontier--from the super-wired students of M.I.T. to a classroom of the future in the South Bronx; from "World of Warcraft" gamers to the actual Air Force pilots who, by day, guide drone missiles to their targets in Afghanistan, then come home at night for dinner. Along with Douglas Rushkoff, a one-time evangelist for the digital revolution who's now having some second thoughts, Dretzin also sets out in search of real answers to hard questions about how this technology is changing our lives, and redefining the very nature of human experience. Do you think a Stanford scientist interviewed in this week's film would say you're a successful multitasker when you check e-mail, watch a movie, and write to your friends all at once? Want to visit some of the world's first "internet addiction" camps? Wonder what it's like to live, work, and socialize in a wholly virtual world? http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/digitalnation/
