OK, now I am beginning to wonder where technology ends, life begins, TV is television and the internet becomes broadcasting???
Visit http://quarterlife.com/ this is amazing! All boundaries have blurred here. Did you ever like watching thirtysomething, or My So Called Life on TV? Well the same producer has decided to broadcast his latest examination of life as a twentysomething today. This means these people are digitally literate. The main character is a serious blogger/writer. She observes life and posts her observations visually and textually.
The show is broadcast in segments online twice weekly. There is a social network associated with the show where viewers can interact, question and suggest plot ideas.
HOW COOL IS THIS?! Web 2.0 moving forward into interactive entertainment

How cool is right! I am wondering about my grandmother who was born in 1896 ( or so . She never ever flew on an airplane and never had in-door plumbing. Her daughter was the first one in a small settlement to go beyond grade 8 and complete Nurses College. I used to marvel at all the changes she had seen in her life. Literally - from horse and buggy and pioneers to flight and education and television. Some days I feel like I have switched places with her - technology is so deep and so vast and moves so quickly - wonder where the dust will settle for many of the Baby Boomers.
And isn't that becoming a cute and antiquated term?
