NYT: The cutting edge of youth culture

My friend Ben Fritz appropriately mocks some breaking news from the New York Times -- young people email links to their friends!

According to interviews and recent surveys, younger voters tend to be not just consumers of news and current events but conduits as well — sending out e-mailed links and videos to friends and their social networks. And in turn, they rely on friends and online connections for news to come to them.

It's all the news that's fit to print ... circa 2001. For a followup story, Ben suggests "Young people don't communicate via postal mail anymore."
