The BBC World Service is running an informative progamme at the moment … Superpower … which in their words, attempts to explore the power of the Internet. However we like it because we like looking at maps and big numbers, the purpose here is really to show the staggering scale of growth. They’ve also added an animated guide which illustrates “how it works”, which is useful for those who spend time on the Internet for business or personal activities and who may be interested but have really never needed to know how it all connects.
