Italy: fighting the cultural digital divide with an “internet evangelizing show”

At Milan Theatre in 2008 took place the first of “The Internet Show” with Marco Montemagno, promoted by the no profit association Codice Internet, http://www.codiceinternet.it.

It’s an itinerant internet evangelizing show throughout Italy (free for the audience): the mission is to explain the Internet opportunities to the masses (…in a new and entertaining way) and to contribute to fill the cultural digital divide gap (in Italy 6 out of 10 italians do not use Internet :( ).

The “presentation/show” is based on a speech always in synch with videos and includes several cool interactions with the audience: playing table tennis on stage (comparison with the internet rules), folding tshirt in 5 second, playing wii live with the audience on a maxi screen, opening a blog collectively live in 5 minutes, demonstrating how internet works with people throwing 2 table tennis balls all over the hall, and so on :)

Duration: 1h 40 mins

Subtitles: English, Italian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Portoguese
