3. Technology has already
changed how we . . .
• Work (telecommuting, information economy . . .)
• Learn(Google, distance learning, digital libraries . . .)
• Play(booking travel, online auctions . . .)
• Do business (E-commerce, marketing, banking . . . )
• Communicate(Webinars, texting, tweets . . . )
• (And a lot of other things)

4. It’s also changing civic engagement.

5. "Millennials who use social networking sites for
civic causes are also more civically engaged in their
communities. Although we cannot conclude that
belonging to social networking sites alone causes
an increase in civic engagement, those who engage
online come from diverse economic and
educational backgrounds, illustrating the potential
of technology in bridging traditional civic gaps.
Online platforms provide engagement
www.ncoc.net opportunities for many Americans who may not
belong to a formal volunteering organization."
"Strangely enough, digital technologies are forcing us to recognize
the power of the collective and social."
