About me:
Are you tired of the way you are represented in the media, or the huge panic that adults are having about MySpace? Want to speak back about it? Please read on...
Some big thinkers are writing a high profile book about how youth use digital media, like my MySpace, to engage with politics and society. A very important part of this process is to get feedback from you guys that we can include in the book. So, we came up with some questions that we'd really appreciate you guys answering! You can answer by leaving a comment.
the book is being put out as part of a series on digital youth and media by the Macarthur foundation. More info on the book here And a big thanks to Barry Joesph and the amazing Global Kids for helping with these questions!
thanks!

1) Should adults be concerned about how youth view their rights and public affairs (like voting)? How might online experiences better connect youth to real information and get them actively involved?
2) Do online games or sites like MySpace spark meaningful forms of political discussions and actions? If so, can youth expand this involvement into the real world?
3) What should adults know about the pros and cons of youth using digital media?
4) What steps can we take to influence parents and professionals so that they can better understand youth's involvement in improving their communities? What steps can we take to influence them to adopt more creative, real and fair opportunities for youth to be heard?'
