¡¡¡¡Student Use of Computer
¡¡¡¡Since 1990£¬ there has been tremendous growth in the use of computers by students. While in 1990£¬ the average number of hours a student spent on the computer was about one hour per week£¬ this number grew to nearly four hours per week by 1995£¬ and to approximately 20 hours per week by the year 2000.
¡¡¡¡This significant growth in the use of computers by students in the 1990's can be attributed to several factors£¬ including widespread usage£¬ lower prices£¬ and technological and social developments. Nowadays£¬ computers are widely used by students for word processing£¬ book keeping£¬ multimedia presentations£¬ and access to the Internet for both research and communications. Additionally£¬ since 1990£¬ due to competition and technological advances£¬ computer hardware and software prices£¬ as well as Internet usage charges have dropped significantly. Finally£¬ technological developments and changes in social habits in the 1990's have played a major role in this tremendous growth in the use of computers. Today's society relies heavily on computers for immediate access to the news and for entertainment£¬ including£¬ listening to music£¬ watching movies and sport events£¬ and playing computer games.
¡¡¡¡While computers are of great assistance to the students£¬ and therefore£¬ are indispensable tools£¬ they also pose some challenges. The biggest challenge that many students face is discipline in the use of this powerful device. That is£¬ students need to have the discipline of not allowing themselves to be lured by the entertaining aspects of this wonderful tool-aspects that can result in addiction to computer games or viewing of undesirable material on the Internet. That is to say£¬ students need to use this powerful tool with great wisdom£¡
