People root for the same team year after year, people have final four parties every year, and people fill out their bracket every year - but this year things have changed.

Being an avid follower of a team used to mean that you watched the game on network TV and then read about that game in the morning paper. In today's world it takes much more to be an avid fan. To be considered a fanatic you need technology. All the fans have filled out an online bracket, checked scores on their phone, and emailed a friend about a game. The fanatic fans of today's technology driven world have done all of that plus watched a YouTube video of their team, Twittered about a game, and bought/researched tickets online.
