1) The document summarizes the results of a survey conducted by a Roman school class on teenagers' use and attitudes toward computers and the internet. 2) The class developed 10 questions for the survey and administered it to students in their class and another class. Questions covered topics like device ownership, internet usage habits, online safety practices, and perceptions of benefits and risks of internet use. 3) Results were organized and presented for several of the survey questions. For example, most students spent 1-4 hours per day on their devices, used the internet for activities like social media, music, and school research, and believed both benefits and risks exist to internet usage.

Question n. 8 Do you think the Net can cause any problems?
In a class of 18 students, we have asked this question : Do you think internet can cause any
problems?
And here there are the results:
-4 students think that with Internet, exspecially with the socials networks, you can become closed in
yourself.
-2 students think that you can read true or false information in internet
-3 students think that if we continue to use social network, people only chatting and they probabily
won’t meet in the reality
-6 people think that Internet and social networks create too much dipendence and if you use it when
you have to do something, you won’t be concentrated.
-3 people say that it’s useful to using intenet to chat with far friends but if you always use it , it can
be dangerous for your brain.

Question n. 10 Is life better with the Net?
We asked this to our class mates:
- 8 people answered that is better, because you can search and share information and communicate
with the others;
- 4 people said that’s worse, because it has some drawbacks like brain damages and less relation
between people: they think that you can live without Internet;
- 4 people think that the Net has its positive and negative sides, because it’s very useful but is
addictive;
- 2 people said that they don’t know, because in their life they’ve always used Internet
