Being young as I am I notice the problem with whats gonna happen with this future oncomming presidental elections. This young generation is going to vote for either hillary cause she is a chick or obama because hes black. Where as back in the day our elders actually gave a fuck and did research on the people running.
I think voters are far more informed today than in previous generations (though that's not saying much!). In generations past, if you wanted to find out anything about a candidate, it meant taking a week's vacation and spending it in libraries. Now you can find as much reliable information in a few hours online, and at a library, you can do many times the research that was possible just 30 years ago, when all indexes and so on were on paper.
