The Digital Revolution BBC TV series

As I am a bit of a geek, it was suggested that I might enjoy this programme. Well, if I was a bloke and thought that Aleks Krotoski was fit, I am sure I would. Unfortunately, as an intelligent woman, all those loving shots of Ms Krotoski's cleavage and the almost romantic sequence of her giggling girlishly as she walks in the countryside with Tim Berners-Lee leave me cold.

As for the subject matter, where was it? The entire programme seemed designed to portray the web as some sort of subversive subculture based on things being "free". Excuse me, but where does shelling out on a broadband susbscription equate to getting something for nothing? Despite the assertions made on the programme, the internet has never been free. I have been using it for around 15 years and initially it was very expensive. Not only did you have to pay for the minutes you spent clogging up your telephone line as you very sloooooowwwwwlllllllly moved around the web, you also had to pay a monthly fee to your ISP. 

I was also distinctly underwhelmed by the intrusive graphics and silly linking sequences.

I wonder if I found this programme an insult to my intelligence because I am well into my fifth decade and so remember the days when a television documentary did exactly what it said on the tin. Now, the knowledge is served up in tiny chunks which appear to be secondary to the general "look" of the programme.

I learned absolutely nothing new from watching this dumbed down drivel.
