It'd be pretty silly to spend all that time working and have to pay someone else regular rates (1-3 RMB/hour) for internet access. Thanks for the link. We aren't the accomplished students you are (so we can't follow the Chinese), but I was really impressed with the production quality. @长舟丫: I doubt many are.

They generally don't look terribly healthy. On a lighter note someone in Beijing is making a cute show about an imaginary "University of Warcraft" and posting it on tudou.com as <a href="http://www.tudou.com/search/programs/?posto=%2Fsearch%2Fprograms%2F&nav_search_target=0&comefrom=1&kw=%C4%A7%CA%DE%B4%F3%D1%A7" rel="nofollow">a series of podcasts:</a> 长舟丫 Hmm, I wonder how many of the 网虫 web insects frequenting average web cafes are actually doing it for pay?

Back in the good 'ol 1980's when I was in elementary school, the conventional wisdom that learning computers was "good for" students, but nobody really seemed to understand how to apply this to education. Looking back, a good deal of our time in front of the screen was spent playing Number Munchers and Oregon Trail. Other than teaching us how to use a keyboard and a disk drive, it was pretty much worthless from an educational perspective. However, I think in today's age, being able to use a computer in the right way can certainly expand one's educational experience. It's all about how it's presented. I remember when I was teaching English at a Chinese university, and few of my students even knew how to use Google or Microsoft Word, yet you could put them in front of a game of Counterstrike, and they would play it like it was going out of style. When students would ask me the old question "How do I improve my English?" I would tell them to get an AIM or Skype account and chat with foreigners online, or to find an English webpage they liked related to one of their interests (i.e. espn.com, cnn.com. rollingstone.com etc.), and start read it regularly. I had several students tell me that they had mentioned this to one of their older Chinese English teachers. He had told them definitely that the computer was a waste of time, and that they would be better off memorizing Chinglish articles from their textbook. aiiiiyaaa! Joshua-
