Study Finds the Internet Makes Youth More Engaged Citizens - NYTimes.com

Study Finds the Internet Makes Youth More Engaged Citizens - NYTimes.com: "'Youth engagement in interest-driven online communities was associated with increased volunteer and charity work and in increased work with others on community issues. The Internet can serve as a gateway to online and offline civic and political engagement, including volunteerism, community problem-solving, and protest activity.'"

Soooooo looks like Howe and Strauss may be right about the internet connecting youth and allowing us to become more active in our environments!

Also, the article doesn't directly mention the Millennial but it says youth, which I think is enough!
