Children in the twenty-first century are technologically savvy. They are comfortable surfing the Web, instant messaging with friends (e-mail is for old people), listening to music, and doing their homework on computers— often all at the same time. But what records will they leave behind for future historians? Perhaps a few old-fashioned e-mails, compact discs (cds), and digital video discs (dvds). But most of the Web sites they visit and instant …
