Editorial Reviews

In-fighting. Backstabbing. An epic battle with billions of dollars at stake. Witness the backroom clashes that sparked a cultural and commercial revolution in Download: The True Story of the Internet. From the founders of eBay, Yahoo, Amazon, Netscape, Goggle and other powerbrokers, experience amazing stories of how the Internet took control of our lives in 10 short years.

These pioneers tell how they went from geeky nerds to 21st-century visionaries in the time it takes most people to get their first promotion. Hear straight from the people who started it all, through stories that have the makings of a best-selling thriller. How did certain upstart 20-year-olds launch a revolution from Silicon Valley and become overnight billionaires? You'll never surf the net the same way again.

This two-disc set includes episodes "Browser Wars," "Search," "Bubble" and "People Power."

This review is from: Download: The True Story of the Internet (2 DVD Set) (DVD)

This video set is a great history of the WWW, not the entire Internet as claimed. I teach and I frequently use these videos in my classes to cover the evolution of the Web from 1991 through present day and my students just eat them up.
