Wen-Jay is just one of the hundreds of people who have shared their stories as part of the PBS special presentation called "Digital Nation: Life on the Virtual Frontier."  It is an outstanding piece of journalism from the producers at the PBS series FRONTLINE and one you won't want to miss.

 

Whether you are a NetGener like Wen-Jay or a Digital Immigrant trying to catch up with technology, you will want to see this new documentary, which airs Feb. 2 at 9:00 p.m. (EST).  It focuses on the impact of the Web, digital media and broadband on our lives in the 21st century. 

 

I think it's amazing the diversity of ideas and people and lifestyles that have taken part in this experiment over the past year.  From an 83 year-old cooking grandma to youngsters who will never know a world with virtual reality. 

 

Follow this link to see the trailer and learn how our always-on lifestyles link us together in ways that have not previously been explored.

 

Verizon is a proud sponsor of the program.
