    More than 600 teenagers between the ages of 14 and 16 took part in the research project.   __37   It is said to be the first ever long-term study in Northern Ireland on the influence of information technology on school test results.
    The study found that teenagers who played computer games less than once a week were more successful in school than those who played them twice a day or more. 41% of the students who used gaming devices two or more times a day received passing grades on school exams.   38
