Elaine,
Speaking of books... I would like to recommend four books for understanding where the internet is and where it's going. If I had to pick just one to start with, I suggest "Small Pieces Loosely Joined."
Small Pieces Loosely Joined: A Unified Theory of the Web by David Weinberger
Weaving the Web: The Original Design and Ultimate Destiny of the World Wide Web by Tim Berners-Lee
Convergence Culture. Convergence Culture: Where Old and New Media Collide by Henry Jenkins
The Wealth of Networks: How Social Production Transforms Markets and Freedom by Yochai Benkler
You can read a short blurb about each book at:
David's site
And yes, Edward Branigan's Narrative Comprehension and Film (Routledge, 1992) is among my favorite books discussing the process of cinematic narrative. He recently published Projecting a Camera: Language-Games in Film Theory (Routledge, 2008). Branigan is currently working on a book exploring the interaction of color with a viewer in cinema considering psychological, aesthetic, anthropological, and historical perspectives. It should be pretty good if his other books are any indication.
