[Air-L] suggestions for movies on communication technology and social change

[Mark Carrigan]

Hi all,

There are some fantastic suggestions here. I'm not sure about the etiquette
of this & apologies if this is a breach of it, but would anyone mind if I
compiled these titles into a blog post? Obviously I'd list all the people
who've contributed them.

Cheers,
Mark
