My Generation

Entirely accustomed to interacting online, gen Y has changed the way we communicate with each other. With email, online games, online journals, Facebook, Myspace, messaging and countless other ways of interacting it is obvious that the internet has become an essential part of our day to day lives. If you're not connected, you're missing out! But having a Virtual Life brings with it responsibilities and commitments - just like Real Life. Age of Avatars explores the real and virtual lives of some gen Yers struggling to obtain a balance. Can they really have the best of both worlds?

Every year at universities across Australia, a small handful of student politicians gear up for what they believe to be the most important week of the year - election week.

From the dirty play of political rivals to the sluggish response and general apathy of most students, Electioneering goes straight to the heart and mind of yen Y, to find out what they really think about politics.

Meet the band FOB (fresh off the boat), a mixed group of Malaysian, Indian, Filipino, Egyptian and Assyrian musicians whose savvy Hip Hop rhymes make light-hearted fun of traditional ethnic stereotypes.
