The Public Broadcasting Service’s (PBS) investigative show Frontline will air a deep look into how digital media and the Internet have transformed human lives and the subject of videogames is featured heavily in program.

Digital Nation: Life on the Virtual Frontier will debut on February 2 at 9:00 ET. The 90 minute show was produced by Rachel Dretzin, who also created the recent Frontline special Growing Up Online, and will feature commentary from Douglas Rushkoff. Segments include Living Faster, Relationships, Waging War, Virtual Worlds and Learning.

Many individual videos are already available for viewing on the PBS website and [URL=http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/digitalnation/press/]a trailer for the show[/URL] offers a quick overview of what it’s all about.

The Waging War section features game-related topics such as the military’s use of [URL=http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/digitalnation/waging-war/immersion-training/full-immersion.html]virtual reality training[/URL], as well as looks at both [URL=http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/digitalnation/waging-war/a-new-generation/playing-americas-army.html?play]America’s Army[/URL] and the [URL=http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/digitalnation/waging-war/a-new-generation/the-army-experience-center.html]Army Experience Center[/URL].

Virtual Worlds contains a cornucopia of videogame segments, including the use of [URL=http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/digitalnation/virtual-worlds/health-healing/a-soldiers-therapy-session.html]virtual reality therapy for veterans[/URL], [URL=http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/digitalnation/virtual-worlds/internet-addiction/one-game-too-many.html]gaming addiction[/URL], [URL=http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/digitalnation/virtual-worlds/video-games/starcraft-training.html?play]professional gamers[/URL], [URL=http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/digitalnation/virtual-worlds/video-games/violent-games.html?play]violent games[/URL], [URL=http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/digitalnation/virtual-worlds/second-lives/what-is-second-life.html?play]Second Life[/URL] and about 20 more pieces.

Another cool aspect to the program is that the Digital Nation website launched about a year ago ago in a bid to let users collaborate with the project by [URL=http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/digitalnation/participate/]sharing their own experiences[/URL].
