The Kids Aren't Alright

I figured I would join everyone else in the class and comment on Nielsen’s Usability for Teenagers. I guess it might be different if you were concerned about non-profits, but in a campaign, teens just don't matter. They can't vote; also in federal elections they can't donate. Now if there was a greater trade off, I might be more opposed, but in general I don't think there is much use in spending too much time making a campaign website appealing to people under 18. It just doesn't strike me as an efficient use of time. I think there’s really only 3 things a website can get you, votes, volunteers or dollars, and teens could only be volunteers and I think that is unlikely to happen. Any Teen actually interested in volunteering would not be discouraged by something not 100% teen friendly. Considering how tuned out they are already, it would be quite a level of interest for them to be involved either way.
