While reading Joy’s post I was struck with the following thought: I wonder if the increased turnout among young people in the election is partially a result of Web 2.0 tools in general. For my generation (the TV generation), people were accustomed to sitting back and being part of the audience. For today’s generation, they are accustomed to giving their feedback. Could this conditioning of offering one’s opinion through Web 2.0 tools have led more young people to be willing to offer their opinions through voting. Hmm. I wonder how one could test that hypothesis (academic geekness showing here, ignore that last line).
