Interesting computing stuff

[rekabdarb]

So for my computing class i have an open report to do which can be anything related to computers or the internet, so i was wondering if the escapist can help me choose a topic. I saw the childhood obeseity thing on here was wondering that... but i don't know any other source that would contain that... hmm

Well, if you were going to pick that topic, you'd have to establish that childhood obesity was somehow related to computers. I'm not sure if that's been proven. Different countries have different obesity rates seemingly independent of technological sophistication, so there must be more to childhood obesity than just computing and the net.

Why not do a comparison/contrast on different sites, you could have limitless amounts of material if you just compared Myspace to Facebook, then interview your friends and get their opinions on it, find what people use the sites for primarily, and the list of ideas can go on and on(infinite loop).

Do the topic on the link between depression and internet addiction to determine which comes first, depression and the internet, or the internet and depression. Good luck figuring that out though.
