Power of youth

The cover story, "Online social networking" in the Star Campus (21 Oct 2007) is a timely issue featuring the ever-growing online social network community. The three pieces by Mahdin Mahboob, Sarah ZH, and Binoy Barman introduce readers to this recent phenomenon. Unfortunately, in none of the three pieces there's any reference to groups and causes related to Bangladesh. Bangladeshis are slowly and gradually making their presence felt in these networks. I'm not a 'net generation' as Barman terms the youth. I don't see anything wrong with the youth in experimenting with the Internet. After meeting this wonderful 'net generation' recently, I can only see and envy the vast potential the 'net generation' has in letting the world know the good things of Bangladesh.
