Werner Herzog Says ‘The Internet Has Its Glorious Side’.
[…] the German filmmaker Werner Herzog, 73, has managed to gracefully pivot from outrageous and eccentric narrative films ("Aguirre: Wrath of God," "Fitzcarraldo") to poignant and poetic documentaries ("Cave of Forgotten Dreams"). Now, Mr. Herzog has set his eye on the internet, or what he calls "the thing. "
"Lo and Behold: Reveries of the Connected World" (the title is a mild spoiler) traces the internet’s rise from its bewildering inception on California college campuses in the late 1960s and offers postulations about its future and possibilities from experts, some of them dread-filled and others hopeful.

The most powerful supercomputers in the world could not solve it, but the community of video gamers called to the task solved it, and it’s now of huge importance in research in basics of cancer and AIDS.
