February 2008
Silver Spring, MD - The Internet
is now an essential part of American's lives. As a recent
Pew Research Center survey reveals, 77 percent of the
U.S. population is reported to have personal access
to using the Internet. And most people would rather
consult the internet for help with a variety of common
problems than ask an expert or family member.
Science Channel's Download:
The True Story of the Internet premieres on Monday,
March 3 at 9:00 p.m. (ET). For the first time on television,
the founders of eBay, Yahoo, Amazon, Netscape, Google,
and others go on camera and tell the behind-the-scenes
stories of how they went from being geeky, computer-obsessed
nerds to 21st century visionaries who launched information
sharing and e-commerce companies that overtook the world.
John Heilemann, contributing
editor of New York magazine, author of Pride Before
the Fall, and an early witness to the Silicon Valley
Revolution, hosts this wild and revealing look at the
pivotal moments, power plays, and backstage drama that
shaped our current wired world.
