BBC World Service - Digital Planet, Health of the Internet report

Mozilla’s solutions to improve the health of the internet.

Mozilla launches new approach to the Health of the Internet; multipurpose drones in Malawi; Nam June Paik The Future is Now exhibition at Tate Modern Art Gallery

Health of the Internet
Solana Larsen, leader of the team at Mozilla that compiled the recent Health of the Internet report talks about the highlights, including openness, privacy and security, digital inclusion, web literacy and centralisation. 

Multi-purpose drones
A drone in Malawi in one flight dropped off medical supplies by parachute, was used by game rangers to monitor animal poaching and created a high resolution 3D mapping of an area. Daniel Ronen, co-founder of UAVAid explains how they have developed their multi-purpose drones. 

Nam June Paik
Nam June Paik embraced technology and digital developments in his art. Born in South Korea in 1932 his work has always been collaborative with musicians, poets and other artists using TV and sound in his often playful art. The Tate Modern gallery in London has brought together 50 years of his most innovative and influential art. Reporter Hannah Fisher, and regular studio commentator, Ghislaine Boddington, went along to explore.
