Not only teenagers can use the Internet effectively

As stated in a previous post, the Internet can be a powerful tool. How powerful? It can even win a presidential race!
Its no secret that Obama won its presidential race in grand part due to the vote of young people, but how did he reach to people that for the most part aren't very interested in politics? Well, for once he made effective use of social network sites to reach to this young audience. Not only that but his party hired young people, to manage all of his Web activities.
More than that he effectively capitalize one of the most important aspects of the Internet: its ability to communicate with thousands of people. Not only was his website easy to use, but it serve as a hub of sorts, where supporters could communicate with one another as well as organize meetings. While other candidates made use of Web resources, none had the accessibility of Obama's webpage.
His effective use of it symbolize the driving mentality of his campaign, that of change. By using the Internet effectively, not only did he close the gap between himself and the people, but demonstrated that politics, as well as America, was long due for change and he was the one to bring about it.
