Why did Colorado shooting suspect avoid social media?

In the aftermath of the horrific shooting in Aurora, CO that took place last Friday, law enforcement has turned to the Web in an attempt to pinpoint any behavioral patterns that would help determine that it was indeed a premeditated attack. However, the article stated that it appears that he left virtually no digital footprint, indicating there was several months of preparation.

This contradicts what Don Tapscott believed would be a major concern with NetGeners. Tapscott stated that privacy controls and behavior on such social media networks as Facebook and Myspace could be detrimental to the future of NetGeners. The article explained how it is not the norm for someone his age, 24(A NetGener), to have such little presence on the Web, putting him "squarely in the minority among his peers."
