沉湎因特網(wǎng)(三)

字號(hào):

[11] Her computer dream turned to nightmare when she sold up and moved to be with her cyberpal (who had just left his wife), only to be told a week later that the couple were getting back together.
    [12] The heart-breaking turn of events gave her the motivation to control her addiction——and write the book Caught in the Web.
    [13] Dr Kimberly Young, who set up The Centre for Online Addiction in America, studied 396 people whom she considered were psychologically dependent on the Net. They ranged in age from 14 to 70 and spent an average of 38.5 hours a week on the Web.
    [14] Her study, backed by further research in Britain, found that women were more likely to become addicts. So while the old stereotypical addict was a young man who spent hours playing games, downloading software or reading messages on newsgroups, the new image is of a young woman who fritters away hours e-mailing friends, buying books and CDs online, talking in chatrooms and looking for information for next year's holiday.
    [15] I guess I was a typical example of someone hooked on the Internet," says Parker, who now spends just an hour a day online. "I was coming home at lunchtime to get on the computer. At 6 p.m. I'd feed my son and put him to bed but all the time I was going backwards and forwards to the computer. Then I'd stay up until 5a.m. or 6 a.m., typing away ' chatting' on my computer screen all night." .
    [11]她賣光了東西,就為了搬到她的電腦伙伴(剛和他的妻子分手)那里??梢恢芎蟊桓嬷@對(duì)夫婦又回到了一起,她的網(wǎng)上夢(mèng)想變成了惡夢(mèng)。
    [12]事態(tài)的轉(zhuǎn)折讓她心碎,她決心控制自己的網(wǎng)癮——并寫了一本書(shū),叫《沉湎萬(wàn)維網(wǎng)》。
    [13]金伯利·楊博士在美國(guó)建立了一個(gè)網(wǎng)迷中心 。她對(duì)396名網(wǎng)迷進(jìn)行了研究,認(rèn)為這些人在心理上離不開(kāi)因特網(wǎng)。被研究對(duì)象的年齡范圍在14——70歲之間,他們平均每周上網(wǎng)38.5小時(shí)。
    [14]金伯利的研究成果表明,婦女更可能上網(wǎng)成癮,在英國(guó)所做的進(jìn)一步研究可以證實(shí)這一點(diǎn)。早先的電腦迷是年輕男性,他們把時(shí)間花在玩游戲、下載軟件或閱讀新聞組信息;新的景象是年輕女性成了電腦迷——她們不惜耗費(fèi)很多時(shí)間給朋友發(fā)電子郵件、上網(wǎng)選購(gòu)書(shū)籍或音樂(lè)光盤、在聊天室與網(wǎng)友聊天,以及查找來(lái)年外出度假的有關(guān)信息。
    [15]"我想我一度是'網(wǎng)上癮君子'的典型例子,"帕克說(shuō),現(xiàn)在她每天只上網(wǎng)1小時(shí),"那時(shí)我每天午飯時(shí)間回家,打開(kāi)電腦上網(wǎng)。下午6時(shí)我給兒子喂吃的,安排他睡覺(jué),但此間我經(jīng)?;氐诫娔X那兒。隨后,我會(huì)在網(wǎng)上呆到清晨5點(diǎn)或6點(diǎn),不停地敲打鍵盤與別人通宵達(dá)旦'聊天'。"
