The Net - Season 2 Episode 7
This week, Benjamin Woolley looks at the options for shopping by computer. In the near future, customers will be able to log on to the Internet and send their designs for goods directly to manufacturers, which will respond to the specifications and return the finished articles. And on the World Wide Web, consumers will be able to access virtual shopping malls, where they can contact product developers directly and take part in auctions.
From the US, the programme reports on the bizarre experience of the associate editor of Time magazine, Joshua Quittner, and his wife and fellow journalist Michelle Slatalla, who wrote a book about hackers and then, within days of its publication, became the victims of hacking themselves.
Plus a look at how anonymous E-mail is helping desperate people to get in touch with the Samaritans; and in the regular Hotlist spot cyber celebrities visit their favourite places on the World Wide Web.
