Comments on: Let’s Get Educated https://blog.gen-we.com/?p=49 Generation We—the Millennials—has arrived. They have emerged as a powerful political and social force. Their huge numbers and progressive attitudes are already changing America. And the world.

In fact one reason people can be turned off of new media is that it can feel overwhelming, or as you noted, can serve as a serious distraction.

One thing many people have discovered, myself included, is subscription to a RSS reader like Bloglines. These free services update in an easy to read abbreviated format when blogs you subscribe to are updated. This way you won’t miss anything when someone posts something interesting to GenWe, the busier blogs are condensed so you can sort through them quickly to things you’re interested in, and you can easily control which ones you follow.

The result, I still keep up to date on issues I care about in a fraction of the time. Stay invested in the world, but don’t do it at the expense of a balanced life.
