　　Mr. and Mrs. Stokes were sitting in the garden of their London home when I arrived to interview them and their fourteen-year-old son Carl. But Carl was working upstairs. “He doesn't often leave his room,” his mother explained.

　　At the moment Carl is working on a programme for a new computer game. Computers have become his whole life. In the last year Carl has earned over ￡25000 from writing programmes. “When did he buy the computer?” I wondered. “We bought it for him eighteen months ago for his birthday,”said Mr. Stokes. “We didn't know what we were doing. Our son has changed. Eighteen months ago he didn't see a computer. Now he doesn't talk about anything else. And we don't understand a thing about computers.” “And do you think it's good for him?” was my question. “No, we don't. We worry about him,” said Mrs. Stokes. “He doesn't have any other interests now. And he hasn't done any work for school exams.” Carl's parents don't understand computers, but Carl certainly does. “I love computers,” he said, “I soon got tired of playing games though. I like writing programmes much better. I've got three computers now. I bought two more, I didn't earn much at first, but now I do. My parents make me put most of it in the bank.”

Today almost everyone knows computers and the Internet. If I ask you “What is the most important in your life?” maybe you will say “Computers and the Internet.”

The first computer was made in 1946. it was very big but it worked slowly. Today computers are getting smaller and smaller. But they work faster and faster. What can computers do? A writer has said, “People can’t live without computers today.”

The Internet came a little later than computers. It is about twenty-five years later than computers. But now it can be found almost everywhere. We can use it to read books, writer letters, do shopping, play computer games or make friends.

Many students like the Internet very much. They often go into the Internet as soon as they are free. They make friends on the Internet and maybe they have never seen these friends. They don’t know their real names, ages, and even sex. They are so interested in making the “unreal friends” that they can’t put their hearts into study. Many of them can’t catch up with others on many subjects because of that.
