One of the greatest advances in modern technology has been the invention of computers.
They help us, fascinate us and occasionally scare us. The latest fear concerns children and
computers. Some experts claim that brothers and sisters are starting to play more with computers
than with one another, and that computers are distancing children from their parents.
Walking round a toyshop you find a home computer game to satisfy any child's violent
imagination. Adult computer addicts are familiar figures: pale people who sit in front of green
screens hour after hour. That is their choice. But the idea of a child living in front of a flashing
green screen is somehow less acceptable. Canadian child psychologist Jams-Norton explains:
These are children with few friends, afraid of making conversation. They are children who are
usually allowed to do what they want. They cannot concentrate for long periods of time except in
front of the screen. If the computer games they play are violent,' she adds, 'they become
indifferent to violence faster than they would through watching violent videos.'
A frightening picture starts to appear. Jams-Norton sees a good number of troubled
children. They usually persuade their parents to buy them a computer by saying it "will help their
education." Computers, after all, are a central part of education today. Some educationalists
enthusiastically look forward to the day when every child will have a personal computer in the
class room and the class teacher will be nothing but a technician. That is not particularly
appealing either, although with the current lack of teachers someone may soon decide it makes
good economic sense. Janis-Norton disapproves of such an attitude, it is relationships with the
teacher and the other pupils that make you learn.'
We may be at a sort of crossroads. It is a question of whether we use the machines wisely
or stupidly in bringing up children. 'The computer,' says the child psychologist, 'is only a surface
problem but the real problem is not computers. It is parents who have forgotten how to be
parents, or don't have the confidence. I wish they'd start noticing and worrying about what is
happening a bit sooner.

1. People are worried that children's dependence on computers may result in

 A. serious learning difficulties.
B. serious problems with health.
C. families having communication problems.
D. permanent anxieties.
2. The idea of computer-dependent adults is acceptable because
A. They can control their violent imaginations easily.
B. They are old enough to make their own decisions.
C. They can not stop looking at the flashing screen.
D. They don't only use the computers for game.
3. Computer-dependent children
A. concentrate on the screen for short periods only.
B. become violent or aggressive
C. find it hard to communicate with other children.
D. stammer more often than other children
