在捷運站裡，我經常看到... 還坐在娃娃車裡的小朋友一個個都是抱著平板電腦，在 "咚咚咚 戳戳戳" 玩著遊戲，
Cellphones and Pads Replacing TVs for Kids (孩子用手機和平板電腦取代電視)，我真不知道這種科技演變到底是
好還是壞? I am wondering... worrying...
何謂 S 世代 ? Screen Generation
現代的小孩從電視、電腦，到智慧型手機、平板電腦等，在 "屏幕" 陪伴下長大的孩子，是小小低頭族--稱做 “ S世代 ”。
Most kids now spend their free time connected to the Internet on their cellphones.
大部分的孩子現在把空閒時間花在手機上網。
For years, parents have been worried about how much TV their children watch. But those worries might soon become a thing
of the past. According to a UK survey, children are watching less and less TV. Instead, they're using cell phones to spend time
on the Internet.
多年來，父母擔心他們的孩子看多少電視。但是這些擔憂可能很快變成過往雲煙。根據一項英國的調查，小孩現在看的
電視越來越少。取而代之，他們把時間花在用手機上網。
The survey looked at 2,770 children aged between five and sixteen. It found that on average, children use their cellphones for
over an hour and a half every day. Children are likely to connect to the Internet through their cellphones when they have free
time. About 32% of children even regularly use their phones while they're in bed at night.
這項調查檢視了2,770位年齡介於5到16歲之間的孩童。它發現平均而言，小孩每天使用手機超過一個半小時。小孩可能
在有空的時候就會用手機上網。甚至有32%的孩童在晚上睡前躺在床上的時候習慣性地使用手機。
Experts say that technology is changing. Children are less likely to have TVs in their bedrooms, and desktop PCs are not very
popular anymore either. Instead, kids are using laptops and tablet computers. The survey also found that children are more
likely to read on their computers than from books.
專家說，科技在變，小孩比較不可能有電視在房間裡，桌上型電腦也不再那麼受歡迎了。取而代之，小孩用筆記型電
腦和平板電腦。調查也發現小孩比較可能從電腦上而非書上閱讀資訊。
