“Nearly half of the young people used computers daily to write for social purposes, but only a fifth used them for homework. Computers were used more frequently by older pupils. In attitudinal responses, the sample suggested that the main advantages of using a computer to write include the ability to edit (89%), clarity of presentation (76%), creativity (60%) and writing more content (55%). Boys (54%) found computers much more helpful when concentrating on writing compared to girls (42%). On the down side, nearly a third of pupils (31%) suggested that computers made you write too fast and a quarter (25%) that they more likely to use bad spelling and grammar.”
