A new poll shows that people believe
that computers and the Internet have made life better for Americans, but people
also see some dangers in the trend toward computerization. The
poll found that the public favors some government protection from
cyber-problems(网络问题), but in general people are not especially concerned about
issues such as information overload or the never-ending flow of phone calls,
faxes and e-mails. A separate survey of children aged 10-17 shows that they have
a more positive attitude about computers than adults do, and most have made use
of up-to-date technology in their schools. The survey found that
enthusiasm for computers and the Internet is found in all income groups, all
regions of the country, all races, and most age groups. However, people over 60
and those towards the lower end of the income rank tend to show lower rates of
computer ownership and Internet usage. The survey shows that "some kind of gap
has been crossed: Computers are part of everyday life for most Americans, and
the Internet is close behind."
