Question

"I sometimes get up at three or four in the morning and I surf the net."

"I often check my e-mail forty times a day."

"I often spend more than three hours during one time on the net."

"I spend more time in chat rooms than with my 'real-life' friends."

Do you know any people like these? They are part of a new addiction(癮）called Internet addiction. Internet addicts spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week. The use of the Internet can be an addiction like drug（毒品）use. People lose control（控制）of the time they spend on the Internet. For example, one college student was missing for a few days. His friends are worried, and they call the police. The police find the student in the computer room: he was surfing the net for a few days.

Studies show that about 6-10% of Internet users become addicted. And people worry about the teens because the Internet is changing the playing field for some of them. They spend more time in cyberspace than in the real world of friends and family.
