"Bridging the Digital Divide"

This documentary blends together interviews from the 2006 Internet Governance Forum in Athens, Greece. These technology and policy specialists talk about the importance of bridging the gap between those with Internet access and those who do not have access to the wired world. The documentary was produced by Elon University student Erin Barnett, 19, and Elon professor Janna Anderson, with the help of Elon staff member Bryan Baker.

Imagining the Internet (http://imaginingtheinternet.org) is an online resource containing thousands of pages. It exposes future possibilities while simultaneously providing a peek back at the past. In it, you will find the words of thousands of people from every corner of the world, from today and from yesterday, making thousands of predictive pronouncements about the future of humankind.

It includes short films and dozens of video interviews - all of them about the hopes and fears for the future of networked communications.
