A recent study found that middle schoolers are making the Net their libraries. Of the 12- to 15 year-olds polled, more than 70% of the ones with Internet access depend on the Web for homework help and for finding material for school projects. Only 24% hit the shelves for most of their schoolwork information. Just think, a whole generation of kids is growing up "shush-deprived."
