Well-organized notes! What can younger people do to earn the older generation's trust? How can your work in this class help?
ReplyDeleteThankyou! I believe that in this case, younger people need to show by example. I believe what we are doing in this class this year is a huge example of the good that young people can do with technology. Because this class is online, it is being broadcasted to the world. It shows what can be done, and we are evidence of it.
