Think about this
Since February 14, 2018, the students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School have used technology to show the world how they feel about the shooting at their school, the deaths of their friends, and how future tragedies must be averted. Their voices are being conveyed through all types of social media. Their ages are irrelevant. Children ages 14-18 organized a march on Washington, D.C. that is replicating in cities across the nation. Children organized a bus tour across major cities in the US last summer to register voters and speak out concerning gun violence. Children are shaming politicians and law enforcement, gun enthusiasts and pretty much all adults who failed to protect them in their neighborhood public school. Children are angry, and they have a voice through technology. They are using computers to educate us, the adults, concerning the changes that need to occur in our country.

The Douglas High School students are not alone. Children all over the country, and even the world, are using technology to share their opinions.
