Programme: Virtual revolution

First there was the military internet passing info. through telephone lines. Then an atom smasher, and the guy invented the first internet to pass files but accessible to everyone with a computer, it was all free but Bill gates made it not free with internet explorer. Napster was the first illegal music downloading site and eventually was shut down. Metallica was not happy with this site. An African man used the internet to find out about crop prices and help him to grow crops in better ways. There was an election crisis in Kenya used blogging to broadcast the violence where action was then taken to solve the issues there. Jimmy Wales invented wikipedia. Google is the one major search engine, facebook is the one major social networking site and youtube is the one major broadcasting site.
