I wonder where the young people got their technology from eh? If we were to like pigeon-holed statistics, then the young form the largest group of p2p users stealing copyrighted materials and getting malware. They don’t care what they do, potentially infecting others with spam and worm and more, so they can download ‘Lady GaGa’

The young use the technology more. What a suprise. Who would have guessed.

I don’t think it’s a good idea to draw lines around groups of people, young, old, male, female, black or white. People don’t fit in tidy categories, the young don’t all act the same and neither do the old. This is a bit patronising toward both groups.

This is a fantastic blog. It drives home the fact that the young are the majority users and more attention should be focused on that group, as apposed to the vocal “minority” of old codgers trying to manipulate their behavior, and the ill enforcement of the community moderation system.

To the wiser representatives of the Yahoo! Answers site: Dump the us-against-them mentality, and the kung fu gear and outfit – the young are your bread & butter.
