Damn kids, I just can’t seem to shake them off, and at the moment neither can the American political system. Want to know more about the upcoming generation of political activists? Today’s Internet Advocacy Roundtable focuses on their Borg-like synthesis of technology, flesh and mind: “The Millennials use MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter as if they were born with the technology embedded in their psyche.” Can’t make it in person? “Here Come the Millennials, Politics Beware” is being live-streamed from 3-5 Eastern today, so you can start planning your survival strategy early. Thanks to Shana Glickfield for the tip.
