Bill Cameron has this report on the growing phenomenon known as "Internet":
[wmv clip] "...a revolution in which 15 million people are taking part. They're sharing scientific data, arguing philosophy or passing on cooking tips and gossip night and day through a computer network called 'Internet.'"
"There's an interesting kind of restraint that you find. I mean, there's not a lot of swearing or cursing. There's not a lot of, uh, personal cuts. There's not a lot of put-downs that one would expect to find. There's not screens full of 'go to hell'. It's surprising, so the kind of liberation is mixed. It's interesting because one would think if you're anonymous you'd do anything you want. But people in a group have a sense of community and what we can do."

Might catch on! You pretty much use "Internet" without the article in French, although koant would know more about this than I would.
-
That's a really fascinating record. Does anybody know when this clip comes from?
-
It's from Canada's Broadcasting Corporation daily news show "The National". Don't know the date of this clip however.
-
Sorry, it's from Prime Time news, not the National.
-
I think that fucking guy should go to hell.

Thanks ebaum! You stripped the video from the CBC and removed it from all interesting supporting context. Well, I don't know for a fact that ebaum decontextualized the clip for us since I am not downloading their clip just to confirm that it is the same one that is streaming on the cbc website. meh to them.
