In today's 'the sky is blue' news. This has to be the most unnecessary story ever created.

Is this as bad as the recent Guardian article that discovered that 1/3 of teenagers have started some sort of online journal at some point?

I have to get a job at one of these Centers to Reconfirm the Obvious, if the pay is good.

#1. Yes that story is a huge waste of time.
#2. Weird, because I'm doing research on how collaborative content & online communities can be used by libraries - so Ned, I have a nonpaying job that you'd be perfect for.

Regrettably I have sold my soul to Mammon and desire small green pieces of paper. I can however comment as anonymous source NR.

I also am surprised that it's as many as 1 in 3.

Really? I mean, most kids these days chat on a daily basis and almost all have some sort of hotmail profile (or whatever it's called). It's probably also a large amount of youngsters who started but quit after a week or so. I don't think it's that perplexing. Apparently there's a lot of stalking/harassing online these days, it's replacing *real* bullying. :-(

Wow, that's bad. Reminds me of the appalling so-that's-what-the-kids-are-into-these-days articles that attemped to explain the Toronto rave scene a decade ago.
