UKNM: Sky TV discussion programme

[David Lee]

Hello all


I'm getting in touch on the recommendation of one Alice Taylor, to see if

anyone at UK Net Marketing would like to appear as a guest on a SKY tv

discussion

programme next Tuesday. (Alice is a veteran of the show).


We'll be speculating wildly on the effects of an internet-saturated world

on tomorrow's society, and it would be great to hear the views of insiders

like yourselves. 


Here are some more details on the programme - do get in touch if you're

interested.


The Programme:

'Dots and Queries' is a weekly half-hour discussion show which aims to

cover topical issues in new technology in a way that is easily

comprehensible to the viewer at home. It has an informal and relaxed

atmosphere and panellists are encouraged to trade ideas and opinions

freely.


The Topic:

'How will the internet affect tomorrow's society?'

Obviously a potentially broad-ranging topic, ripe for speculation and

hypothesis, but some possible areas to cover:

- Should we expect a boom in net usage that will change the way we live?

Will online shopping replace the high street? 

- When streaming comes to fruition, will TV-style entertainment come

primarily through the net?

- Will schools in the future disappear to be replaced by internet access

points in students' homes, linked to teachers and material online.

- In world terms will the globalising effect of net communication have a

wider impact on international relationships and politics?

- Could the net in fact become a source of unrest in society as new

information elites and subclasses develop, or as people rebel against its

pervasiveness?


Other Guests:


John Murphy, freelance journalist for, amongst other publications, The

Times.

Richard Adams, Head of Digital Art at the London College of Music and

Media.

Someone from The Hub.


The programme will be recorded 'as live' on Tuesday 11th May between 2.00pm

and 3.00pm at our studio in Acton, West London. It will subsequently be

aired on Sky's [.tv] channel between 7.30 and 8.00pm on Monday 31st May.


We can talk transport subsequently but in the meantime here's our address:

8 Canham Mews

Canham Rd

London W3 7SR

I hope this gives you all the information you need. Please get in touch if

you need to know anything else, and I hope we'll have a guest from Ivision

on Tuesday.


Yours


David
