　　A report by the American Association of University Women (AAUW )notes that girls are scarce(稀少) in computer classes and in high-paying technology jobs and the reason is that girls think computer classes or jobs are stupid and boring.

　　The AAUW found that girls think programming classes are populated by boys playing shooting games. The girls want no part of that.

　　Meanwhile, a separate study found that boys and girls spend about the same amount of time on the Internet. But while boys are playing games, girls are doing research and e-mailing friends.

　　Excuse me if I am being stupid here, but I don't see what's wrong with all this. The AAUW says that the computer culture must change so it can attract women. But to me, it seems that women are using computer very sensibly for communication and learning.

　　If the computer culture should change so that boys won't waste so much time playing games.

　　It was suggested in the report that girls need to be encouraged to learn the basics of the technology, to examine the cards and microprocessors, to take the computer apart and see how it works.

　　But if either of my kids decided to pull the workings out of our US $2000 machine, I would break their little fingers. I have had to make this point with my son several times. My daughter thinks it would be a stupid waste of time. why would you risk making this useful machine useless?

　　Girls, I think, understand well how to use a tool effectively, you don't have to put it together from various parts. That is as true for a computer as it is for a telephone.

　　Girls use computers to chat with friends, make covers for their school reports and to look up things. As they move the schools and into a field of study or work, their use of computers will unavoidably grow. Girls will learn how to make the machine do what they need it to do. Any other information about computer is a waste of brain space, and girls know that clearly.

　　I hate reports that try to make women such as me immediately think our daughters have suffered a lack of chances that must be made up for by some forced training.

　　The AAUW found no deep barriers(障碍) to women entering the technology fields. But the group has a problem with the fact that girls don't want to.

　　I thought our goal was to give girls a choice.

       We want our kids to use the Internet, and yet we worry. But we can find ways to direct our children away from what’s wrong, towards what’s best.

       The most effective way to monitor a kid’s online activity is to monitor it. That is, to stand beside the computer from time to time when your child is at it.

       Carleton Kendrick suggests that accompanying your child to a website he often visits is no different from "checking out a playground where your kids go, to see that it’s safe."

       In any e-mail program, a look at the senders’ addresses can give you a good idea of your kids’ communicators .

       America Online allows parents to limit incoming e-mails to a finite list of communicators. Some parents also type their kids’ names into a search engine to discover what they’re saying on websites or message boards.

       Understand that as kids get older and demand more privacy, some basic know-how comes into play. America Online has been particularly effective in helping parents give their children an online experience: a "kids-only" AOL account prevents young users from all but full time-monitored chat rooms. Katherine Borsecnik , president at AOL, notes, however, that "if I have a child who’s doing a report on breast cancer, I might want to turn off the filters (过滤器）" since kids-only access would block websites with even straight medical information about breast.

       Many parents don’t know that a simple click on the "history" tab will produce a list of links to every website the computer         . Bonnie Fell opens all the files that have been downloaded by her two sons at least once a month―"whether the boys are there or not. Although they know it." As Jim Lynch, who manages message boards for the Boston-based Family Education. com, says, "Parents are the basic filter."
