Negative Positive
Title: Bad Research?
Review: I bet the author didn't even study youth surfing the web.If he had, he might have realized that today's youth are *highly* literate (not illiterate). They are also increasingly critical.That is precisely *why* they are abandoning Network News. They know that it can't be trusted for the really important stuff, unless they're willing to drink the swill that is "spin".The new generation does not need to be "inspired". What needs to happen is for the older generation to realize that the web surfing habits of the youth are both social and educational, in that they increase global knowledge by facilitating social interation unbound by geography.20 years ago you learned about Vietnam by reading the paper.Now kids just logon to MSN/ICQ/AOL, find someone living in Vietnam, and initiate a chat.Does reading the paper *truly* provide a better indicator of what daily life is like in Vietnam?
Is the review positive or negative?
