Student use of computers

From the chart/diagram given above we can clearly see that there has been an obvious increase/decline/fall in the average number of hours that a college student spends on computers in the last decade of the twentieth century. In 1990,less than two hours were spent on computers, The number doubled in 1995. And in 2000, the average hours increased dramatically to almost 20 hours.

Several reasons account for the rapid change. To begin with, the first and most important reason is the people’s realization of computers’ significance. Now computers have found their way into companies, schools and even homes and have become an essential part of our modern society. Secondly, the drop of the prices also contributes to the change. With the development of technology, computers become much cheaper now than ten years ago. More students can afford them, and therefore can use them freely. Last but not the least, computers enable us to handle our affairs effectively; reliable computer applications are crucial to business.

In a word, we can safely conclude that the increase of student use of computers is bound to continue. Computers become very popular among students now, and how to make full use of them has caused much discussion among people.
