97 the percentage of
             United States schools that offered Internet access as a part of their regular
             curriculum was over sixty percent. There were over nine thousand public
             libraries across America in 1997, sixty percent of these offered on-line
             access to its users (7). In view of this information, one can concluded that the
             on-line percentage for both schools and libraries has increased notably since
             1997 and the number continues to grow as more of these facilities "plug in

             considering the range of ages that it encompasses. For instance, eighteen is
             the normally accepted age at which a child reaches legal adulthood; therefore,
             "children" would refer to any age between birth and seventeen. Porterfield
             stated that a study conducted in 1997 by Gateway 2000, a leading computer
             manufacturer, concluded that most children Internet access and computer

             learn computer skills are kindergarten age, or age five. For example at the
             Children Television Work Shop website, a young child can click on a query
             and in a few days an E-mail arrives. For the purpose of this analysis, the
             broad word "children" will be condensed to contain two age groups --
             elementary level, ages' 5-12, and secondary level, ages' 13-18. At ...
