This one appeared in my inbox under ‘general interest’ and I think its prime for sharing.
The BBC Digital Revolution project is looking to crowd-source ideas and content on how 20 years of the World WideWeb has changed our lives, which they will collate into four 1 hour documentaries to be shown on BBC 2.
Here is their take on why people should contribute:
Why should I?
This story will reach a wide audience, an audience who may not necessarily have thought very deeply about this modern phenomenon beyond email and YouTube. We’re telling the story and we want to get it right. It’s a unique opportunity for collaboration between the production and the web; how much you engage with this process is up to you.
It is apt and right that the public service broadcaster in wanting to create these programmes about the history and importance of the web are asking the web-users – ‘hey what should we be talking about’. Even the title is up for grabs apparently – I think this is a great opportunity for high powered web thinkers, social media obsessives and everyone else to give their take on 20 years of the web.
Obviously for us here at Delib – how the web has and will continue to change how we are governed and the processes of democracy is our take on this BBC brief – but this is so broad I cant think of anyone who wouldnt have an angle.
They have some decent blog contributors too.
