Tourettes Guy

In chapter 3 Tapscott tells us about an eperience his child Niki had while on a trip. She had met a young boy with tourettes symdrome. It was odd at first but everyone seemed to understand what the child was going from. I think this is greatly due to the internet. There are some famous videos of a someone suffering from this same issue. Although the videos are rather comical, they definately raise awareness of the disease and have allowed many of todays youth to understand this odd disease. Before the internet if would have been very diffiult to get this message out to the public. Now, thanks to videos like these, we are now muh more educated on its effects on the individual. Now those suffering fomr this disease can live a little bit easier being surrounded by fellow peers that understand the disease.
