问题     A survey of 16 to 24 year olds has found that 75% of them feel they couldn’t live without the Internet. The report, published by online charity YouthNet, also found that four out of five young people used the web to look for advice. About one third added that they felt no need to talk to a person face to face about their problems because of the resources available online. The findings were unveiled at the House of Parliam on Wednesday. Despite high-profile examples of Internet security breaches, such as the recent incident of phishing email scams,76% of the survey group thought the Internet was a safe place "as long as you know what you’re doing". "Probably the middle-aged are the most vulnerable," said Open University psychologist Graham Jones. " I think children, teenagers and people under their mid-20s have grown up with technology and they understand it deeply," he said.
    Charlie McDonnell is a 19-year-old video blogger on YouTube—With 200,000 subscribers and more than 20 million hits overall,he is the third most subscribed to on the site. He started in April 2007 while "delaying over exam revision". He amassed around 150 viewers until he made a tongue-in-cheek (半开 玩笑的) film called How to Get Featured on Youtube. His mother had no interest in the Internet until he got started. Now he has shown her everything and she uses his hand-me-down old kit to make her own Youtube video logs. His use of the net illustrates how sophisticated young consumers are. " I never really look for news ,I find out about stuff that interests me from blogs. I use them as a filter to find news that I find interesting. Twitter’s not very accurate—it’s one person saying they saw something on one website—but it’s good for getting information straight away," he said.
    Mr. Jones thinks it is the parents who need to become more sophisticated. " One of the biggest problems for children is not that they are vulnerable but that their parents don’t know what they’re doing," he said. It is a point Mr. McDonnell agrees with. " It’s important that parents have full understanding of the Internet and its risks—younger people need parental direction," he said.
Although Twitter is not very precise, Charlie McDonnell thinks it’s good for______.
