Of course you're right, but this isn't going to happen for a long time.. and besides.. there are a lot of people in my generation that are not that tech-savvy at all.. I'd say the top uses are Games, IM/blogs/etc and P2P None of these really have anything to do with being good guardians of the net. Of course in the long-run you'll prove me wrong.. but I think it'll take a fair while yet.. anyway, i just hope we'll have made good progress on other fronts. - bri
