This episode, presented live from the Sony Metreon in San Francisco, focuses on YOUTH CULTURE: Does youth culture exist today? Do young people today have to go further and further in order to find something of difference to identify with? It seems that every time you flip on the television or read a magazine, marketing executives are telling kids what is cool and how to think. Are young people rebelling against this commercialization? Or have the scales tipped in the other direction: Has uncertainty with employment, world affairs and future issues taken young people to an age of neo traditionalism?

SNAP is a series of interactive television specials for people aged 16 to 22.  Youth-oriented programs, including short animations and international music videos, are interspersed with live conversations among viewers, hosts, callers and a �virtual audience� of webcammers.   The program solicits young viewers to participate in discussions on issues that matter in their lives -- inviting them to connect using whatever device they want -- email, cell phone, telephone, and web-cam.  Two �chat jockeys� sit at the nexus of a connection machine in the live TV studio. Each day special guests are invited to add their personal experiences to the mix.

SNAP is designed to expose its Generation Y viewers to new ways of thinking and to help bridge the gap between themselves and their peers worldwide by using the medium of the media.  It shows young adults and teens how people their age are making a difference in their lives and communities, giving them a venue to share their thoughts and connect on the air and on the web, in an open and uncensored manner.
