Grown Up Digital

In Grown up Digital, Don Tapscott introduces the idea of the new Net Generation. The generation that is accustomed to technology such as internet and wi-fi and also as he puts it "VCR's" (Whatever that is... ;)...). His introduction also has insight from people who feel how the new generation of technology has greatly hurt our generation as a whole and labeled us as dumb, or anxious.

I disagree with those who oppose new technology and to state that they themselves are dumb if they can't work the internet. I feel that our generation is stronger than any other generation there ever was and I also feel that the next generation will be even stronger.

Lastly, Don Tapscott warned our generation to withhold on giving out our information and pictures on the web... I partially agree with him with the fact that your prospective boss doesn't need to find a picture of you engulfing the porcelain throne because of too much to drink when he/she is doing research on her prospective employee. But, I also disagree because those scandalous pictures of us can be blocked from public viewing with an easy click of your mouse.

SMU Mysterious Death

Hey everyone, I was just getting ready for the evening when my roommate told me to check the Dallas News website. Disturbingly enough, the first thing that showed up read, "SMU Student Found Dead in Former Fraternity House". I've posted a link to the article that I read right here. In lamen's terms a sophomore named Joseph Hunter Green was found dead in the KA house just this afternoon Friday. Autopsy begins tomorrow and I'm sure the rest of the school will be notified about the loss.

The first question that comes to mind when I read this article was... What was a student, a non fraternity student, doing in the now kicked off campus KA house? I understand that Students live there in transition to getting into residents hall, but dead? WTF? Post your thoughts on my blog and any guesses as to how and why he died? Thanks!
