| Sumario: | The 1995 Times-Mirror Survey and the 1997 Survey of Public Participation in the Arts shed new light on the impact that computers have on daily activities and who selects to spend free time with the home computer. The surveys show that people with home computers use them for more than five hours a week on average but that they do not reduce the time that they spend on other leisure activities, including watching TV. The surveys also show that the share of men who use home computers is not much higher than the share of women and that 69 percent of 18-to-24 year olds use computers for hobbies and enjoyment, compared with just 10 percent of those aged 65 and older. |
