It is hard to imagine the modern world without information technology. At home, at work, and at play, mobile phones, e-mails, and computers have become part of daily life.

Meet a woman who wrote computer programs two hundred years ago, a teenage millionaire, a man who began with a paperclip and ended with a house - and the criminals who want your name and your money.
