Name: April T.

From: Illinois

Bio: Communication specialist, internet user

Area of Expertise: Author/Editor/Journalist

Topic: Community/Culture

Headline: Good for life, not for love.

Nutshell: Networks will create virtual social lives, and the divorce rate of the upcoming generations will skyrocket.

Vision:

Individuals are already starting to ignore the importance of maintaining relationships sans the internet. The younger generations are raised with a high value of internet networking. My prediction is that this trend will help consumerism and trade but hurt the future of homelife.
