Girl, gone
I'm generally a pessimist when it comes to the future of the human race, but this article made my day. Erin Carter is a 17-year-old girl who makes the claim "I don't know how to do anything with computers" yet knows enough about her rights under the Patriot Act to take charge of an interview with a pair of fraudulent FBI agents about a computer problem at her high school. Young adults like Carter and my brother Nate make me think there may be hope for an intelligent, well-informed populace after all.
