And for the first time on television, we hear how it happened from the men and women who made it possible. From the founders of eBay, Yahoo, Amazon, Netscape, Google and many others, we hear amazing stories of how, in ten short years, the Internet took over our lives.

These extraordinary men and women tell us how they went from being geeky, computer obsessed nerds to being 21st century visionaries in the time it takes most people to get their first promotion. And, how they made untold billions along the way.
