Timothy Egan has written a good piece in the New York Times today on the youth vote in 2004 as compared to previous elections.  (Though I wonder, on page 2: is there any kind of blogging other than “computer-blogging”?)  The piece links up to one of the key themes of our conference coming up in December, “Internet & Society 2004: Votes, Bits, and Bytes,” which is meant to be a skeptical take on whether or not the political process is actually being transformed by internet technologies.
