The Smithsonian Channel has put together a very insightful show entitled System Crash chronicling the dangers of our growing digital world.

Unbelievable…and unstable. Unlimited…and unreliable. See how our growing dependence on modern technology, now running everything from transportation to energy to finance to communications, has made life a whole lot easier…and infinitely, sometimes tragically, more complicated.

Take a disturbing trip to the dark side of the Internet, where cyber crooks pose a constant threat to our finances, privacy, even our national security. Discover how hackers can attack major corporations and bring entire countries to a standstill, and what, if anything, we can do to stop them.

It’s intend audience is the every day casual Internet user, not the security or network engineer. I thought it did a very good job of articulating the dangers that are growing and the peril that many Internet users are completely unaware of today.

Here’s a brief excerpt from the show;

Cheers!
