Broadband Kids Do More Research

Posted: 11th Sep, 2004 By: MarkJ
Future Foundation has done a survey of 50 UK families and concluded that children with access to a broadband connection ultimately do far more research and revision using it than those without:

Over the three-month period of the study, the time children spent online for educational purposes increased by 19 per cent, while time spent on gaming and entertainment fell by 21 per cent.

Almost every child in the study (97 per cent), conducted on behalf of BT, used broadband internet connections to do their homework, and 58 per cent felt that their schoolwork would suffer without it.

Future Foundation chief executive Paul Flatters said in a statement: "We were surprised at the proportion of time that was dedicated to education by participants."


We can't help but wonder how much 'revision' actually equates to 'plagiarism' =) [sarcasm mode off]. VNUNet.
