Many kids like to use that time to chat with friends, play games or check e-mails. But next time you get on the Web, try exploring the world instead. “With the Internet, you can go back 11,000 years in time, or go 11,000 kilometers across the planet,” said Russell, Web search expert of Google. “The whole scope of history and the world is open to you.”There is a wealth of information to be found online. For example, ifyour family is going on vacation somewhere, do a quick online search on the area before you even get in the car. “What’s the background of the place; what’s the history?” says Russell. “I like to tell my kids, ‘Whenever you have a question, whenever you have a doubt, search it out.’” Ready to launch a virtual journey of your own? Here are a few starting points to get you thinking and to help you on your way. You can invite your parents along for the ride, too.

Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a ＄10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to “speak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families.

As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers.

Some students even have the chance to attend electronic game competition for close observation.According to the 2017 China Game Industry Development Report, the annual income for the industry has reached 219 billion yuan. Although the game industry is a great contributor to GDP and employment, playingelectronic games is still seen by many people as an inappropriate entertainment, especially for students. “This course is not meant to challenge traditional thinking,” said Chen. “I like playing games, but I deeply understand the problems that games have caused.” At the same time, Chen also predicted that many students will be involved into the game industry either through employment or investment and the game industry may develop into a backbone of the entertainment industry before long.( )11.
