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 (文字處理)       . 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(數(shù)據(jù)庫). 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.
