Default Girls 'more skilled on computers'

Girls are more confident than boys about using a computer, a survey of more than 1,000 children suggests.

The research by the Tesco Computers for Schools programme found girls were more likely than boys to be able to perform key tasks, such as creating documents.
It also showed three-quarters of the seven to 16-year-olds polled used a computer every day, with half spending at least two hours a day online. Meanwhile, the survey suggested parents relied on children for help.
