暑期來臨，上網成了孩子主要的休閑活動。臺灣最新一項調查顯示，孩子暑假變“宅童”，部分人每周上網超40小時。
Taipei (CNS) -- As summer vacation rolls around, it seems surfing online remains a major source of entertainment for children. Children commonly refuse to go outside in the sunshine these days but opt to hunker down indoors, spending more than 40 hours in the virtual internet world per week, according to a survey report issued July 3.
The Child Welfare League Foundation, a NPO in Taipei, conducted the survey on 1,281 pupils in the fifth or sixth grade in March and April. It studies specifically the use of the internet as a past time and possible side effects.
It showed 83 percent of the interviewed children use the internet every day. On the weekend, nearly forty percent of kids spend more than three hours online every day, and ten percent of them spend over six hours online per day.
