中文摘要
據2000年5月調查，上海“線民”的人數比例，已達28.9%。其中，13-35歲的青少年占78.7%，佔據了主體地位。
從上海青少年整體的教育程度看，高學歷化趨向十分明顯。“大專及以上”占61%、“高中”占36.7%、“初中及以下”僅占2.3%。
他們的休閒方式，呈現多樣化態勢。排序為：（1）看電視78.7%，（2）聽音樂70.8%，（3）讀報刊67.7%，（4）讀圖書67%，（5）聊天57.9%，（6）體育運動46.1%，（7）上網42.9%，（8）旅行31.3%，（9）看電影29.8%，（10）玩遊戲機21.5%。可見，互聯網已成為青少年的一個“新寵”。
他們的觀念，較為理性、開放。例如，對於新聞報導，高度關注“台海局勢”（關注人數比例高達86.5%）等重大事件，而冷待“鞏俐上北大”（關注比例僅22.9%）之類的明星動態。又如，對於訪問成人網站的行為（是否見不得人？），表示肯定、說不準、否定的人數比例，約各占1/3。
總的來說，互聯網對青少年的影響，堪稱重大。誠然，他們目前對網路尚抱有各種不滿（如真實性差、費用大等），但十分看好其發展前景。例如，承認因“上網”而（包括“明顯”和“有所”）減少了接觸傳統媒介的人數比例，分別為：電視42.4%、廣播35%、雜誌30.6、報紙25.2%。
更有說服力的資料是，被問及“如果封閉一個月會選擇哪一種資訊管道？”時，64.7%的人選擇了“上網”，其次是“看電視”（14.3%），然後是“打電話”（10.5%）等。互聯網的吸引力，由此可見一斑。
最後，尤需指出，有無上網經歷及較高學歷，與對互聯網的好感及信心顯著相關。
