In 2006 Time magazine made a surprising pick for their annual person of the year award: You. The choice of 'You' was a symbol of the aggregate contributions to the information age made by millions of individuals using the internet. This online community of collaborators has developed on a scale that has never before existed, effectively transforming the web into a tool for collecting and sharing small amounts of information from millions of people around the world. So what does this mean for acoustics outreach? While there are already acoustics-related websites and online applications in place, we feel that many aspects of technology and the internet have not been used by the acoustics community to its full potential. The acoustics community could make better use of technology and the internet to promote acoustics to the rising 'Millennial' generation as well as to provide an expanded experience for Acoustical Society members.
