In this Episode

Each generation remakes itself. In the context of the historical, economic, technological, and cultural forces around it, each generation must confront, adapt, and evolve—or die; this is the nature of humankind. Still, some common threads exist that shape that evolution—threads that define our very humanity. Even in the face of the tumultuous changes brought about by computing, these threads persist and bring a poignant texture to a fully digital life.
