I just wanted to share this video about internet ownership. It has a lot of good historical information, especially at the beginning. Later in the video it is more persuasive in tone than informative.
This might be a good starting point for discussions with older homeschoolers. Topics include internet technology and culture, activism, net neutrality, communications, deregulation, monopolies and competition. I’m sure you can find a few more too.
