State of the Internet 2009/10

Deutchy, a colleague, just shared this info-graphics video on the state of the internet. Nice treatment and gets the blood pumping with the inherent opportunity and LARGE numbers.

Tate Tracks by Fallon London. My favourite art space, the Tate Modern, reaching a new audience through the intersection of art [...]

Two more video’s that educate on digital

Perhaps a bit geeky, but essential in getting the back story, the animation “History of the internet” describes how the internet evolved from 1957 – 2009. Copyright, who better to explain the importance of Creative Commons – than [...]
