As can be seen from the chart, in 1990, the use of computers was not popular yet, with the university student spending merely an average of one hour on the computer per week. However, in 1995, the number of hours was quadrupled, climbing up to four hours per week. In 2000, after a lapse of only five years, it was astonishing to find that the number shot up to nineteen hours every week.
This dramatic change in the average number of hours the student spent on the computer per week took place chiefly for three reasons. In the first place, as the society developed, national economy became prosperous, bringing about the popularity of computers. In the second place, the use of computers went far beyond typing words, making them indispensable not only to secretaries but also to people engaged in other areas. Last but not least, prices for computers were reduced, so much so that common people with a modest income could afford them.
It is true that students have benefited from spending more and more time on the computer, but problems have also arisen. Some students indulge themselves in computer games, refusing to concentrate on their studies, while many other students’ health has been damaged as a result of too much exposure to computers.
