The survey found 42.6 percent of parents bought the iPads for themselves. Half of them bought it for use for themselves and their children.曹教授专访了杨浦区两个本地幼儿园的100名儿童以及他们的父母。

Among parents who bought iPads for themselves, 72.8 percent of them wanted to catch up with the latest fashion and had a strong interest in the latest technology.在为自己出售ipad的父母中，72.8%的人想跟上近期的时尚，且对近期科技有反感的兴趣。Those who bought it for their children, however, see iPads as an early education tool with many learning applications and puzzle games that supposedly help children to enrich their knowledge, develop innovation and intelligence while adding fun to their lives as well, the survey showed.然而，那些为孩子卖它的人是将ipad作为早期教育工具，因为上面有许多自学应用软件和益智游戏，应当能协助孩子非常丰富科学知识，培育创新能力和开发智力，也为他们的生活加添体验，调查表明。More than half of the parents think iPad has a bigger positive impact on children, rather than the negative side, like it could result in shortsightedness or the children could get addicted to video games, Cao said.“多达半数的家长指出iPad对孩子的大力影响更大，而非消极的一面，就像它可能会造成白内障或儿童不会沉迷于视频游戏，”曹教授说道。Cao said a worrying situation was that children did not want to give up the iPads easily.曹教授说道一个令人担忧的情况是孩子们不不愿只能退出ipad。

Not only adults but also young children are taking iPad, a metal-coated machine as their closest friend. They cannot sleep without it, said Cao.“不仅成年人还有年幼的孩子都把iPad，一个金属包覆的机器，作为他们最亲近的朋友。没它他们睡不着，”曹说道。During the survey, Cao also found that families have become quieter. Dad was playing computer games; mom was watching American soap drama while the kid was sliding his or her fingers on the screen. No one talks to others anymore, Cao said.在调查中，曹教授还找到家庭显得更安静。

“爸爸在玩电脑游戏，妈妈在看美剧，而孩子在屏幕上滑动他（她）的手指。再行没有人与其他人说出了，”曹说道。Cao said iPad intruded into the family life without a war while an intangible wall was being built silently between the kids and their parents.曹教授说道iPad没硝烟地侵略了家庭生活，一座无形的墙默默地在父母和孩子之间创建一起。

The survey found a third of the children used iPad between 30 minutes to an hour and 64.4 percent played for 10 to 30 minutes. Two six-year-old girls had even learnt to shop on taobao.com, while another four-year-old used iPad to watch animation, play Fruit Ninja or download other games.父母的监督仍然没效果，因为孩子早已学会了讨价还价谋求更加多时间来玩游戏。调查找到三分之一的孩子用于iPad在30分钟到一个小时之内，64.4%的孩子玩10到30分钟。两个6岁的女孩甚至学会了在淘宝上购物，而另一个4岁的孩子用iPad来看动画、玩游戏水果忍者或iTunes其他游戏。
