Lost and Found
Aleks Krotoski explores whether people are more likely to find what they have lost using online social networks.
From lost cameras, dogs, cats, phones and people, we are turning to the web to find what we have lost. Aleks explores whether you are more likely to find what you've lost using online social networks? Are we as connected as we think we are? Or does it make more sense to step out of the digital world and search with the help of physical social networks?
Produced by Kate Bissell.
