[6] The second scenario is that a person starts spending more and more time on the Net. They may not meet someone else but they don't spend any time with their partner and of course the relationship suffers."
[7] Such stories may appear to be almost urban legends, so ashamed are Internet addicts and their partners. After all, who wants to admit they have a 100 a day habit (e-mails, that is) or are somehow less alluring than a piece of hardware? But in America, which has long had a love affair with both therapy and the Net, these stories are common.
[8] A recent survey of 17,251 Internet users found nearly 6 per cent had some sort of addiction to the medium. They revealed that their online habit contributed to disrupted marriages, childhood delinquency, crime and over-spending. Tap into online addiction sites and you'll find messages such as: "Hello, my name is Bob and I'm a Webaholic."
[9] Witness the plight of Ohio woman Kelli Michetti, who literally became a computer hacker because of her husband's constant online chatting. When she crashed a meat cleaver through her husband's computer terminal that solved the problem, although naturally it led to difficulties with the police.
[10] Or take the classic Internet addiction story of Ingrid Parker, a woman who became such a slave to the Internet——especially chat rooms—— that it took over her life. She made do with two hours' sleep a night, had marathon weekend computer sessions of up to 17 hours and fell in love with a married man in the US state of Oregon.

[7]諸如此類的情形幾乎成了一個個都市傳奇故事，讓那些癡迷于因特網(wǎng)的人以及他們的愛人感到慚愧。畢竟，誰也不愿意承認他們有每天收發(fā)100封電子郵件的習(xí)慣，或者承認自己竟然不比一部機器有吸引力。然而，對于美國這么一個與心理治療和網(wǎng)絡(luò)結(jié)緣已久的國家來說，此類故事不足為奇。
