Harita is an your typical eighth grader at a suburban Texas Middle School. She turned 13 in August, and is just a semester away from entering high school. With a Facebook account and an AIM screename, she is always using the internet to stay in touch with her friends. When she’s not at home typing away at her keyboard, she’s texting on her new iPhone. And when she’s hanging out with friends, she always manages to take pictures to upload to Facebook. She is often found with headphones in her ears, singing along with her current obsession: Chris Brown. She enjoys speaking in French and she plays the violin in her school orchestra. She has also been taking dancing and singing lessons for the past six years. She frequently attends Speech Tournaments where she has won many awards for her speech and debate skills. She aspires to one day become a lawyer. Dad’s a software consultant and Mom’s in Banking. The internet first became a part of Harita's life in the fifth grade when she created her own website for her class. The website let other students print out homework they might have lost, look at a calendar of upcoming events, and see what material would be covered on the next day’s quiz. Neither Harita nor their friends think much about the concept of TeleMedia and they don’t care about the impending industry convergence. They do care that everything works so that they can live their lives the only way they know how.
