Well, rather than just replay the usual clips of and a , we thought we'd ask the users themselves - you, the Digital Revolution community - to help us make this section of the film.
Ìý

Ìý
What we need from you is the (the address) of a page, picture or video that you've posted on the web before and you're happy for us to transmit on Ö÷²¥´óÐã Two in prime time.Ìý The material needs to be your copyright and, in the case of visual media, come with permission of any on-screen performers or participants.
Ìý
We can only offer you perhaps a glimpse of your own material in the final cut of the programme, but it will be part of a sequence that can capture something of the excitement, the humour, the civic journalism and, above all, the exuberant creativity of millions of voices expressing themselves on the web.
So, if you've got some early video, pictures or animation or an old blog from the early days of web 2.0 you'd like to share with us,please submit them via our submission form.
Please note - theÌý deadline for submissions was October 15th 2009. We are not accepting any further submissions. Many thanks to those who submitted their old sites.

A wonderful example of how a Ukraine village was given internet access and now are web users. This has enabled them to dramatically increase their agricultural output and buy equipment. The children are using it as a learning tool and the village intends to have a voice in their State. All this and more from 1 PC in a room:

This may be from an organisation that Ö÷²¥´óÐã Digital Revolution has already researched and used/discounted. Apologies if they have been mentioned/covered elsewhere. Examples of other things they do: Train in the use of all media including internet. The Tech Age Girls project is specifically for getting girls who wouldn't normally have access, confident in using computing power and being online.

But woefully I'd never heard of them and their successes. I wonder, if it's applicable, Aleks can entice them into becoming involved in her future Ghana plans!
