Have some fun. Win some money. Get together friends, family or co-workers to create a soap-opera style video of no more that two to three minutes that shows some way technology is changing everything for this, the “Net Generation”. (Or you can work alone and keep all the money for yourself!) You can be serious or fun, pensive or silly. Think about how you might use technology to rebuild the world, or just play and have fun with any idea that tells a story with that “daytime drama,” soap opera feel. Author/researcher Don Tapscott, author of the new book “Grown Up Digital,” is kicking in on the prize. Thanks Don! Will your video rock? The story's told here. Be part of it.
