 home computer used by a group of young people.

We asked thirty young people between fourteen

and eighteen. We asked them how much  37 

they usually spent on their computers in a week,

but we were most interested in  38  they used their computers for.

The usual time spent on a computer in a week was about twelve hours, with  39 user about thirty-two hours, and the lowest user only five hours.

All the children said they usually used computers  40  . Fourteen children told us they did some word processing (文字处理)  41   . 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   42  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  43  use.

The results show that computer use is quite high among 14～18 year old. They also show quite clearly that computers  44  by most young people as little more than game machines. The only other great uses are for word-processing and  45  address lists. Though computers are common in the homes of young people, they have not yet become useful in everyday life.
