Summary: Fear in the Fast Lane : There’s little doubt that the Internet has changed our lives for the better. Online, we do everything from booking holidays to paying bills. But how easy is it for a cyber-crook to take control of your computer without you even knowing it? This eye-opening documentary reveals how you can have your identity stolen, your phone disconnected and your bank accounts emptied in hours. Bullies’ playground : Despite major efforts from governments and schools, bullying remains an intractable problem made worse by modern technology. Once it was fists, rocks and schoolyard chants, now bullies have the net, mobile phones and Facebook as playgrounds for brutality. Interviews with bullies and their victims reveal the true costs of our children’s cyberspace obsession. Twitter revolution — Twitter and Youtube are the main weapons used by Iranian dissenters in their protest against the current regime. Digital dissent vs. bullets and batons – will the new technologies bring change in Iran?
