The power of the Media

This past weekend i went home to visit my family. I have a 15 year old sister that is currently a sophmore in high school. In my mind, I thought that she would have no idea what was going on in the presidential elections. I was suprised to find that she knew even more about it than me. We actually had a deep conversation about what was going on in the elections. This really suprised me because when i was a sophmore in high school i knew very little of what was going on in the presidential election. My younger sister even showed me clips on youtube about the presidential candidates i had never even seen. I attribute her knowledge to the power of the internet. When i was in high school the preseidential election was not nearly as informative as it is now. Now a days, a person just simply types in a few keywords on youtube and the information about politic is opened up to them. Its kind of scary, but, i think my sister may know more about the election than me. >.<
