Herzog, who is a known non-tech guy, just seems ignorant and uninterested in technology, both the good and the bad of it. And we need him to pry forcefully into the moral morass that it's dragging us into. But he can't. He's just a baby boomer who is completely immersed in his real- world occupation that doesn't involve surfing the internet. He doesn't know, doesn't care. So unfortunately, he has gathered the most maddeningly thick-headed "scientific experts" to make bland, vapid observations about how amazing it all is. This is a huge disappointment. Werner is just not the man for this job -- so he's moved on to something more up his alley; volcanoes...
Each topic is (obviously) related to the internet and what has developed from and within it, and each topic is covered primarily through interviews with experts in various fields (for many of the experts interviewed, their enthusiasm for the subject is palpable and quite endearing), with a few breaks for personal interest stories related to a given topic. For the most part, the topics are covered in chronological order.
To me, the early days of the internet, artificial intelligence, and the "internet of me" were the best sections, but all were worthwhile. The sections on AI and "the internet of me" in particular really make you wonder what the world will look like in 20 or 30 years. It's difficult to think of another invention or innovation that has changed society as pervasively or as quickly as the internet has. This film does a nice job of capturing that recent history and imaginatively foreshadowing what might be just around the corner.
This is a documentary on how the internet has shaped the modern world but it's flaw is it's lack of direction and instead bounces from one aspect of this digital world to the next rather randomly.
It covers artificial intelligence and robots, it tells the origins of the internet, it touches upon the darkside of the net and gaming addictions and to those who insist on living without it.
Though there are certainly some interesting parts the whole thing feels detrived and purposeless. I'd have rather seen a documentary that touches on one single aspect of a subject as broad as this.
Watchable but not one of his best works and a tad chaotic for my liking.
The Good:
Well made
Some very interesting moments
The Bad:
Herzog is a truly awful interviewer
Documentary has no direction
Things I learnt from this movie:
If you own a Porche you make sure everyone knows, you don't acknowledge that you have a car.......it's a porche
The internet is literally the anti-Christ
Wow, it kind of blew my mind to see the range of material that was covered. I was quite impressed that he managed to cover such a large canvas and each segment was fascinating. He created 10 segments, each focusing on a different perspective on tech. I really liked the fact that he started from the beginnings of the Internet and interviewed many of the earliest key people involved. This record of their experiences makes the film an invaluable document of history.
I also really liked the fact that he confronted some of the very serious problems that the Internet has created in our world and didn't just focus on the wonderful aspects.
Definitely check out this film, whether you love the Internet or hate it, there is great stuff here to ponder....
Somehow, even after Werner's extensive resume, this was his most immersive and informative documentary yet.
The film doesn't just touch on the basic history and fundamentals of the Internet, but provides such a deep understanding of its past, present, and future. It dives into the wonders of what is possible while carefully reminding us about its dangers, all while Werner gives a very comedic voice-over.
It's a shame that Roger Ebert isn't around to view this film. I know he would've been proud of his friend for creating such an accomplishment in documentary filmmaking.

- Citazioni
Professor Leonard Kleinrock: [Recalling the first internet message] Now, what was that first message? Many people don't know this.
Professor Leonard Kleinrock: All we wanted to do was log in from our computer to a computer 400 miles to the north up at Stanford Research Institute.
Professor Leonard Kleinrock: To log in, you have to type "L O G" and that machine was smart enough to type the "I N".
Professor Leonard Kleinrock: To make sure this was happening properly, we had our programmer and the programmer up north connected by a telephone handset, just to make sure it was going correctly.
Professor Leonard Kleinrock: So Charlie typed the "L"
[Mimicking the conversation over the telephone handset]
Professor Leonard Kleinrock: and said "You get the 'L'?"
Professor Leonard Kleinrock: Bill said, "Yup, got the L."
Professor Leonard Kleinrock: Typed 'O'.
Professor Leonard Kleinrock: "You get the 'O'?"
Professor Leonard Kleinrock: "Yup, got the 'O'."
Professor Leonard Kleinrock: Typed in the 'G' and crash! The SRI computer crashed.
Professor Leonard Kleinrock: So the first message ever on the internet was "LO", as in "lo and behold". We couldn't have asked for a more succinct, more powerful, more prophetic message than "LO".
