Youth involvement in these three online worlds suggests that the Internet creates opportunities for youth involvement in politics and provides a measure of motivation, facilitation, and invitation for that involvement. Nonetheless, for reasons discussed, it remains an open question whether youths will take full advantage of these opportunities. }, number={8}, journal={First Monday}, author={Kann, Mark E. and Berry, Jeff and Grant, Connor and Zager, Phil}, year={2007}, month={Aug.} }
