Subject: [WWWEDU] Generation WWW: Kids Create Web Sites (fwd)

 >From the Washington Post... -ac

Eric Hysen is a busy entrepreneur, with a small but growing business that
designs Web sites for other small businesses. He's got four clients right
now, which may not sound like that many, but since Eric is 14 and in the
ninth grade at Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring, he's got
other things he has to do -- like homework. And Eric is not alone. He's
one of the many kids who are building their own Web sites -- for all kinds
of reasons. Some, like Eric, are creating their own businesses. Others use
their sites to further causes they support (Amnesty International, for
example) or provide help for private problems (anorexia support groups and
advice to other teen moms).... Peter Grunwald of the Internet research
firm Grunwald Associates estimates there are about 2 million sites created
by kids age 6 to 17. By next year, his research indicates, there could be
6 million or more. Further, he estimates that 9 percent of kids age 9 to
12 have their own sites....
