Those who have had a chance to read Malcolm Gladwell’s excellent book, The Tipping Point, will certainly recognize a tipping point here for students and the Web. According to the report, the percentage of students who used the Web to purchase things went from about 21 percent in 2004 to almost 80 percent in 2005.
