Many adults think that the decision to buy a computer is theirs. They are the world's webmasters.
But now, a US survey (调查) has found children are getting more and more interested in the Internet.
The number of children using the Internet has grown to three times in the past three years.
Three years ago, the number of two to seventeen years old children entering the web world was
eight million. Today, the number has increased to 25 million. By the end of the year 2005, the number
of children on-line is expected to be 42 million.
More and more children are using the net because their parents use it.
The survey showed that the number of parents using the net has changed from 4.5 million and
16.4 million. The survey found many other interesting facts.
Almost two-thirds of US families have home computers. Forty-six percent of all family members
are hooked (沉迷于) on the Internet.
Girls are using the net as much as boys.
In five years, schools will become the main gateways to the Internet for children.
