It seems ironic that one day after I write about how impressed I am about the future and the young people who will be leading it, there is a tragic school shooting in Finland. It seems that the US, a leader in nearly every way, has now modeled fatal shootings as well. Youtube, which is a great idea, is being used like many technologies in ways that it was never intended.

How do we balance the need to give people freedom of expression without allowing potentially danagerous material to be shown on the internet? How do we reach young people that feel like their lives are useless? How do we prevent shootings from occuring in more schools? Should there be restrictions placed on what people can upload to technologies like You Tube, My Space, Facebook and others?
