Survey: Two Million American Children Have Their Own Websites - Converge

More than 2 million American children ages 6-17 have their own personal websites today, a broad new Internet survey shows. According to data released today from "Children, Families and the Internet," a survey by Grunwald Associates, this figure represents fully 10 percent of the 23 million kids who have Internet access from home today -- a threefold increase since 2000. Four in 10 children online from home say they either have or plan to build their own sites. With the majority of kid-site planners saying they'll build within the next year or sooner, the researchers project that more than 6 million American children -- more than one in four of kids online from home -- will have their own personal websites by 2005.
