Tony, Article...China registers 1.5 million Internet users... November 19, 1998 (GUANGZHOU, China) -- China has 1.5 million registered Internet users and the number is expected to reach 5 million users by December 1999. Chinese computer users will comprise an important consumer force in the near future. Computers have emerged as useful tools for locating jobs, conducting business, purchasing or selling stocks and accessing electronic news. And Chinese children, who formerly opted for computer games, are now using PCs to search for information via the Internet, industry observers said. Some 45 newspapers and television stations in China have established Web sites, including Xinhua News Agency, the People's Daily and China Central Television (CCTV). Many Chinese families with high levels of education are accessing the Internet, with some 10 percent of the over 300,000 Guangzhou families with computers surfing the Internet. For example, the family of Hong Xiujuan in Guangzhou regularly surfs the Internet to find information for a variety of purposes. The Internet has enabled the family to regularly contact friends and relatives living abroad, in addition to helping Hong keep up with the latest developments in academia. "I've been using downloaded computer programs to teach my daughter English, and she's learning quickly," Hong said. _____________________________________________________________________ I wonder what processor is going into all those internet computers? :-) Have a great day!
