Portuguese youth aged from 10 to 19 years: what are they doing with their computers?

Abstract

In the initial training in computer science in the university we come across a great diversity of experiences and skills of ours students.

To understand the evolution of computer use in the course of 10 to 19 years of Portuguese youth, we have prepared a questionnaire on:
- Use the computer, context, type of equipment;
- Internet access, activities, time, context;
- Chat programs, social networking and blogs;
- Monitoring of use by parents, modalities;
- IT training.

From a sample of 390 young Portuguese data were processed to enable comparisons depending on the age groups 10-12, 13-15 and 16-19 years. The information collected will outline an evolutionary framework of skills of young and allow us to have a rough idea of the use of IT from youth when they enter university.
