Just a quick post for now, but I wanted follow up my blog on President Obama’s victory by linking to an editorial in the New York Times. The article talks about the youth’s use of communication technology during Obama’s campaign. ( http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/09/fashion/09boomers.html?_r=1&oref=slogin ). It is far less celebratory than my post, but my post was written amidst the euphoria of President Obama’s acceptance speech. I could have been writing about the return of the bubonic plague and the tone of the post would have still been pretty positive.
The Times labels my generation “Generation O”, and refers to Young Americans as “the ground troops of the campaign”. My mom pointed out that the effect of the youth and the internet was covered in the early stages of the campaign, but had not been touched on recently. I was really pleased to see that our contribution to the campaign was being recognized in as reputable a newspaper as the New York Times.
I should have a post on eating meat later on in the day so please check back if that sounds like something you’d be interested in.
