Paradox: young people have falling interest in maths, science and
technology in general
Yet young people are keen users of IT tools– Majority use a blog, Facebook or MySpace account,
or other IT tool regularly (particularly girls)
– Majority play computer games in some form
– Now spend more time on YouTube than watching TV
