Het CBS heeft becijferd dat 90 procent van de jongeren tussen de 12 en 25 jaar dagelijks op het internet actief is, tegenover 76 procent vijf jaar geleden. Als gevolg van het stijgende internetgebruik is het aantal tv-kijkers in deze groep gedaald.
Volgens het Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek had 99 procent van alle jongeren toegang tot het internet. Negen op de tien jongeren gebruiken het medium dagelijks, vooral om te communiceren met anderen, films en muziek te downloaden en games te spelen. Daarnaast bestellen zij ook steeds meer producten en diensten op het web. Vooral zaken als kleding, sportartikelen en concertkaartjes zouden door 70 procent van de jongeren online worden aangekocht. Vijf jaar geleden bedroeg dit percentage 46 procent.
Als gevolg van het stijgende internetgebruik is het aantal uren dat jongeren voor de tv doorbrengen verder gedaald. De categorie 12 tot 18 jarigen die wekelijks meer dan 10 uur voor de beeldbuis zijn te vinden daalde van 76 procent in 2000 naar 62 procent in 2008. Het aantal kijkers in deze leeftijdscategorie die minder dan 10 uur per week kijken, steeg in deze periode van 24 naar 39 procent.

Mafenyatlala Mall official opens tomorrow
The Mall, owned by Cash Bazaar Holdings (CBH), started operating towards the end of last year. Some of the tenants at the mall include Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), JB Sports, CB Stores, Cell City, Furnmart, First National Bank, Style Clothing, Dunns, Pep Stores, Taku, Dodo's Clothing, Jewellery Box, Cash Build, and Super Spar.
CBH had entered into a 35-year lease agreement with the Kweneng Rural Development Association (KRDA) which owns the plot where the mall has been built. The company paid KRDA P2 million for the lease. The new shopping complex is located at the same plot where the Mafenyatlala Hotel used to be. The Mafenyatlala Hotel which was owned by KRDA, was gutted by fire in 2003.
It was after the fire incident that the KRDA board decided to lease part of the plot for commercial purposes.But there has been criticism that the company acquired the land for a song. Another concern was that KRDA should have invited tenders for the project instead of only dealing with one company. KRDA chairman, Shima Monageng, said the entire property could be reverted to the community after the expiry of the lease period. However, he said, KRDA has an option of extending the lease for another 20 years at a rental of P9 million for the entire period of the lease.
Monageng said the spectacular shopping complex has changed the landscape of Molepolole drastically, adding that some residents were skeptical about the project. They thought the mall would become a white elephant.

Grad students learn from Ojibwe tribe
Two Penn State graduate students say they can't wait to apply what they learned spending three weeks with the Ojibwe Native American tribe to their future teaching careers.
Graduate students Kevin and Julie Slivka recently returned from a three-week, fully immersive Native American course -- "Exploring the Indigenous Ways of Knowing of the Ojibwe" -- offered through the College of Education and the College of Agriculture each year.
Led by Bruce D. Martin, an instructor in the College of Education, the Slivkas and about 20 other Penn State students spent three weeks from May 16 to June 4 on the three largest Ojibwe reservations in North America -- the Red Lake, Leech Lake and White Earth nations. There, they learned history, geography, the indigenous people's way of life, culture and worldview of the Ojibwe.
"I grew up in the bush country of the Northwest Angle, Lake of the Woods, Minnesota, between Manitoba and Ontario," Martin said. "I went to school with Ojibwe children and our friends were Ojibwe."
