Boyd: Feed Culture Generation Gap

Danah Boyd notes some contrasts between her observations of youth communication technology usage and the hype coming out of Web 2.0. There's probably a kernel of truth in her observation of a generation gap, but I'd counter that the Web 2.0 crowd, while important and influential, isn't the totality of computing. While those are the big money toolmakers, there's an element of youth culture out there that can make their own tools. Ultimately, I'm not sure if there's a problem here.
