A recent survey conducted by a company called Pixmania found that British students increasingly claim that COMPUTER PROBLEMS PREVENTED THEM FROM TURNING IN HOMEWORK. Teachers form out an average of 15 such excuses per week, according to the survey, which makes PCs the top scapegoat. These excuses take the profile of 1)

my PC crashed after I finished the homework; 2) I accidentally deleted homework after completing it; 3) the World Wide Web was unavailable, so I couldn’t do research; 4) I finished it but I couldn’t print; and the piece de resistance 5) the dog peed on my laptop.
