Generation Internet: That’s Anyone Under 30, Not Just Teens
February 4th, 2010 admin
Though it’s fun to talk about the digital habits of kids as if they were a separate, SMS-crazed species, what happens when teens hit 20? Do they turn the page on their youth and assimilate into adult Internet use? Maybe not. It’s starting to look like online teens may actually have a lot in common with young adults.

The first waves hit the Big Island of Hawaii around noon (5 pm ET), the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said. Gauges were showing water levels at 3 feet in Hilo. More waves were expected. There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage. Warning sirens had sounded in Hawaii at 6 am (11 am ET). Tsunamis can travel at 400 to 500 mph -- the speed of a jet plane, said Georgia Tech geology professor Kurt Frankel. A large wave killed three people and 10 were missing on the island of Juan Fernandez, 400 miles (643 km) off the coast of Chile, said Provincial Governor Ivan De La Maza. On mainland Chile, the task of trying to save survivors and recover the dead was fully under way. Buildings lay in rubble, bridges and highway overpasses were toppled and roads buckled like rumpled paper. Mangled cars were strewn on several highways, many of the vehicles coming to rest on their roofs.
