Many young people are still in the dark about far-reaching technological developments despite the boom in new methods of communication.

The Hok Yau Club has therefore organised a seminar and exhibition on Computer and Information Technology to remedy the situation.

The event, backed by the Shamshuipo District Board, was held at the club recently and more than 200 young people attended.

Jason Chan Cheung-on, Hok Yau Club computer section leader, said more and more students were using computers to facilitate the exchange of information on academic and research subjects.

'Many youngsters use the Internet daily because it is a fast and convenient medium for communication,' he said.

'However, some youngsters have held back as they're unfamiliar with hi-tech equipment.' The one-day seminar and exhibition was designed to raise students' awareness of the technology and the skills needed to take advantage of it.

Andy Kong Wai, one of the participants, admitted he lacked up-to-date knowledge of the latest technology.
