The report by Linda Papadopoulos, a clinical psychologist and reader at London Metropolitan University into the sexualization of children and teenagers has revealed that computer games, easily accessed pornography and T-shirts with sex-related slogans are making children highly sexualized from an early age. Some recommendations to solve the problem are also highlighted.

Professor Henry Jenkins, professor of comparative media studies at the University of Michigan, has told delegates at the Digital Generations conference at London University's Institute of Education, that children are not turned into killers by computer games. Jenkins contended that while the media frequently blames technology such as computer games for society's problems, research has shown that games do not alter children's views and that family, social and cultural life have a far greater impact.

A survey conducted by researchers at Aston University in the UK reveals that children are not addicted to violent computer games and that they are not becoming violent because of them. Among the 150 children aged between seven and 16 surveyed, more than 50% thought that these games could contribute to violence. However, only one child thought that this violence could be serious in nature. Adults do not have a proper knowledge of how children interact with these machines.

An examination of the role of women in the computing field reveals that video games such as 'Princess Maker 2' that are targeted at the female community have not changed the attitude of women, who dislike computers because of their lack of proficiency in this field. Members of the Women into Technology pressure group in Britain are urging the government to take more interest in enabling women to familiarize themselves with technological advancement.
