Perhaps it is a worldwide phenomenon that teenage boys have an obsession with computers and online video games. One of my Chinese friends in Austin is among this group. As soon as he gets home, he drops his backpack and turns on his computer, and only the clacking of keyboard buttons can be heard. Despite many calls from his parents to eat dinner, he is so hooked that he cannot stop, sometimes even putting aside the next day's due school assignments to play. His parents are angry and decide to take action to control his playing: his dad, an IBM employee, writes a program that allows only two hours of Internet for the boy; but this doesn't deter him at all as there are many games that can be played without the web. Finally, in desperation, his dad takes the keyboard away to work every day, carrying it in his backpack everywhere he goes. When Dad comes home, the keyboard is returned. He is therefore called “a Keyboard Dad. ” Slightly a hassle, but only in this way can Dad be
satisfied, only this way can Dad think that his child is playing less computer games, at the expense of causing relationship friction between the two people.
My computer usage is a bit less than his. This is due to clear goals and prioritization of usage of my time, partly due to an essay I had once written in Chinese, “The Pros and Cons of Computer Usage for Teenagers. ” I expressed that computers were an interesting human invention, because at the press of a button, many tasks could be done: instant messaging, researching materials, buying items online, reading news, etc. These all become easy, and humanity soon can't leave the computer and Internet anymore.
However, the system is not without faults. My parents said that teenagers' eyes are still developing; playing online too long will do much more damage than to an adult's eyes, increasing the degree of nearsightedness. In addition, anyone can post their opinions online; these opinions don't have to be correct. Some aren't suited for teenagers, perhaps to the point of harm. If unable to verify or judge these sites,teenagers could be easily led astray.
Typically I use the computer at home to check teachers' and the school's web sites for upcoming events and assignments; I gather and find information for classes,especially for the labor-intensive debate class which sometimes requires printing excessively; using multimedia programs I sometimes animate cartoons. Once, for a Chinese history project, I had to depict the anti-Japanese movement of World War II in China. Using the computer, I made a ten-minute-long flash animation, complete with text, pictures, and sound, exemplifying the Sino defensive underground historical movement. My teacher and classmates liked it.
Of course I also use the computer to relax. Sometimes after finishing homework I play music, letting it unwind my mood and nerves. On weekends and holidays I've spent hours playing games; my parents have protested, wanting me to cut back on chatting with friends and games.
Overall the Internet and computer systems show the progress of humanity. Using the computer correctly and not giving in to temptation can give our youth increased knowledge.
