A study from CNW’s news team found in Canada in 2010 that 4 in 10 adults struggle with low literacy. Children are at an even larger risk for being illiterate in adulthood because of their access to technology. According to a 2007 survey carried out by the U.K. Government Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF), more than 4 in 5 children ages 5–15 have access to a home computer, and levels of Internet use are at 46% for 5- to 7-year-olds and 75% for 12- to 15-year-olds. Furthermore, children in the12–15 age group reported that use of the Internet was “the most important technology in their lives—more important than television” (DCSF, 2007). Ofcom, 2008, also say that 84% of girls compated to 75% of boys use the internet at least once a week for instant messaging. According to a study, 20% of students never read fiction or nonfiction books, but about 67% surf websites weekly. The study found that 20% of older students attributed their poor writing skills to the fact that they do not write much.
