"Fully half of all teens and 57% of teens who use the internet could be considered Content Creators. They have created a blog or webpage, posted original artwork, photography, stories or videos online or remixed online content into their own new creations."

That finding is from the Pew Internet & American Life Project Report: Teen Content Creators and Consumers.

This is the current generation of kids - read/write Web babies. They're being brought up as creators and not just consumers. Oh I love the Web...

Woah - that's pretty awesome. My generation (born in 1969) may be amongst the last to have been brought up as pure consumers. It's kind of sad, but it makes me wonder what kind of teens my son will grow up with. He's 8 and he already has his own blog and constantly wants to post his artwork on it.
