Look at the diagram. It
something of home computer used by a group of young people. We asked thirty young people between fourteen and eighteen. We asked them how much
they usually spent on their computers in a week, but we were most interested in
they used their computers for.
The usual time spent on a computer in a week was about twelve hours, with
user about thirty-two hours, and the lowest user only five hours.
All the children said they usually used computers
. Fourteen children told us they did some word processing (文字处理)
. Only two of them said computers helped with their lessons, and eight people told us they kept addresses and phone numbers on their computers or used
as diaries. Only three people said they were learning to make computer programmes and nobody looked up databases(数据库). None of them used computers for any
use.
The results show that computer use is quite high among 14～18 year old. They also show quite clearly that computers
by most young people as little more than game machines. The only other great uses are for word-processing and
address lists. Though computers are common in the homes of young people, they have not yet become useful in everyday life.
