This weeks topic was politics and social networks. I feel as if I keep up with technology and some social networks. I however don't keep up with politics. Unless of course it's by the unwanted up date from my dad. He is a true Republican and I of course grew up with a republican so I vote republican also. BUT...I have to give Obama credit for using technology and social networks to reach the younger generation. The younger generation is more apt to form their own opinions rather than carrying on family preferance. There are so many web sites out there with information about politics that anyone can educate themself on the current political issues.

I agree with you that the Internet can help people find their own voice. I too voted like my parents for a while. Now, the knowledge that I have with the Internet, and the ability to get closer to the candidates helps me to decide what I find relevant without falling back on my parent's ideas.
