Obviously the events this week at Virginia Tech have been on a lot of people's minds for the past few days. Why, how, so many unanswered questions. Yet amidst all the tragedy and unanswered questions, a few points of difference in this generation and their use of technology have arisen.
As was reported by more than one new agency, people tried to find out about how friends and loved ones were, whether they were okay, through more than just calling them. And the students on the inside, hidding in their classrooms, reached out in the same way. They posted to places like facebook and other such social sites, blogging about their thoughts and feelings and what was going on. Odd to the older generation that the Internet was their first thought of a way to find out about friends, but hey, we are the digital generation, so they say.
