.................................................. .................................................. .......
The report presents details of the internet use by a sample of 50 young people, from a well —known secondary school in the capital. Everybody thinks that we are in the era of high technologies and internet use, and knowledge spread . I decided to do a survey to find out if this was true. I questioned 50 teenagers in order to know what they use internet for .Let's see what were the answers of my informants
When I asked them how many of them surfed on the Web, all of them said that they used internet either at home or in a cybercafé. Most of them replied that they used the internet to play games or to chat. 10 of the informants told me that they used internet to get information in different fields, and 15 of them used it to make friends, while 5 of them said they used it to get help for their studies or to enrich their knowledge in some fields. Five other ones said that they used it to download the newest movies and series because they didn't find them in local cinemas.
Finally, my survey showed that young people used the internet differently for many purposes.n
