 * Media Evolution:**

The movie is a timeline that tells us about how media has developed through time. It starts by telling how carrier pigeons announced the results of the first Olympic Games in 776 BC. After that, in the 18th Century, the newspaper appeared. Later, in 1901 it was time for the first radio broadcast, which brought news to the world. Then in 1936 the television broadcast for the first time and people saw images of the other side of the world and over 22 million people saw the Coronation of Elizabeth II in 1953. Finally, in 1994, it was the internet that became the latest media and later, in 1998, Google became known!

The second video is a BBC documentary and reports the phenomenon of the Internet - world wide web (WWW), which was considered the most extraordinary technological revolution of our time and which has suffered a huge evolution since it was invented, 20 years ago. Dr. Aleks Krotoski has been studying the social and cultural inpact of internet in the near past and in the near future. He estimates that 20% to 25% of all the people uses the Web and about 2 bilions of people are now online. It allows comunication and collaboration among people all over the world, redefining borders and reshaping continents giving everyone an equal voice, an equal access and equal potential. The video refers to the key players of Internet, which include: Google, Facebook, Twitter and Amazon. They are responsible for the leveling of culture, power and wealth of the population. The Internet is defined as an empowering tool challenging business models. In some countries it allowed people to challenge authorities and led to new regimes. As Andrew Keen says: "Internet is the most concrete legacy of the counterculture: values, organisations, rebellions, resistance to authorities". One of the most important sources of information is Wikipedia which is an on-line encyclopedia created by Einer Kvaran.
