FRONTLINE: Digital Nation: Life on the Virtual Frontier [Watch Online]

I love Frontline. They produce some of the best journalism and each episode is always on a strikingly relevant topic.

Their February 2nd episode digital_nation is no different, which poses the question, "Is our 24/7 wired world causing us to lose as much as we've gained?"

In Digital Nation: Life on the Virtual Frontier, Frontline presents an in-depth exploration of what it means to be human in a 21st-century digital world... [and] embarks on a journey to understand the implications of living in a world consumed by technology and the impact that this constant connectivity may have on future generations.

You can watch the full 90-minute episode online now for free at PBS or Hulu.
