Frontline's Digital Nation Explores Ones and Zeros All Around Us

Digital Nation correspondent Douglas Rushkoff spoke with The Rundown to give us a sneak peak of the intriguing Frontline broadcast airing Tuesday night on many PBS stations.

The 90-minute program takes viewers around the globe to explore how our brains are being shaped by technology, how companies are spicing up conference calls with avatars that interact in cyberspace and how advances in weaponry have dramatically reshaped how wars are fought.
