1 Perhaps the greatest change the world has seen in modern times has been the rise of the Internet. It's hard to deny the positive changes it adds to people's lives as it makes life easier with quick access to things like maps, news, and online stores. As a research tool, it is unmatched. It's a great way to keep up with friends. It enables a wealth of media outlets and alternative news sources. Internet access and the ability to make good use of it is practically a must for success in the modern world.
2 Like any technology, though, it has negative aspects that become clear as we start to depend upon it. Like pollution and traffic jams that come with the convenience of cars, Internet access has proven so popular that it has given rise to a new kind of social epidemic, Internet addiction.
3 Consider the following stories. A few years ago, a couple in the United States was charged with child neglect. It was their addiction to playing games online that kept them from caring for their two infant children. Another recent news story told of a man who spent so much time online that he didn't sleep enough to keep his job. Eventually, he lost his house but kept his laptop and still spent all day online.
4 College students are impacted as well. There are many stories of excellent students who lost their university scholarships from poor grades, or of other students who failed at the university altogether simply because they spent too much time online. One student not only failed, but lost 12 pounds. He was so involved online that he forgot to eat! Imagine the agony of this condition!
5 These things did not happen to these people because they were lazy or stupid. They happened because of addiction. New college students, even the brightest and most successful ones, are most at risk from these effects because the Internet is important for their studies and because they are just entering a world where their online habits are no longer monitored by concerned parents. Without the discipline and structure of home, students have to manage time by themselves. During their very first term, their grades can plunge, their health decline, and their friendships cease.
6 It is easy for those who are unaffected by the powerful draw of connectivity — those who can easily control their time online — to view Internet addiction as an imaginary problem or to attribute its origins to a weak personality. But the brain chemistry behind Internet addiction is not imaginary. Many common Internet interactions, such as scoring points in online games, getting emails or instant messages, finding new blog entries, all cause the release of endorphins in the brain. Endorphins are the essential brain chemicals connected with positive feelings of success and pleasure. This is no surprise, considering that Internet interactions often involve succeeding at a challenge or having social exchanges. Our brains reward us for these activities in real life all the time.
7 The trouble with the Internet is that it makes it possible to have unnaturally long periods of endorphin release, sustained rewards from the brain that are as quick as the click of a mouse. These rewards are not actual, useful, real-life rewards, but simple stimulation that arouses positive feedback in the brain. In real life endorphins encourage us to interact with friends or family, or attempt to learn something new. With Internet addiction endorphins do nothing but keep people hooked to their computers. Internet addicts behave very much like gamblers pulling the lever at machines in Las Vegas, even if it is not rational, hurts their studies, or spoils their health and their lives.
8 So watch how much time you spend online; moderation is your best defense against Internet addiction. Use the wonders of connectivity to enrich your studies, stay connected with distant friends and explore multiple new worlds. Just be careful. Notice if you find you are thinking about the Internet even when you're not online, or if you prefer your online time to time with your real-life friends, or if you hide or lie about how much time you spend online. If you find yourself doing any of these things, take a step back. Look for other ways to enjoy your life. Get some exercise, which is a major source of endorphins! Visit a museum or a beautiful park. Get together with friends to study or schedule some fun time to relax. The Internet is a powerful tool, but make sure that you use it wisely for all the good value it offers and that you won't let too much of a good thing become something bad.

1 或许最大的变化，这个世界已经看到在现代已经互联网的兴起。很难否认的积极的变化，它将添加到人们的生活，因为它使生活更容易快速访问到像地图，新闻和在线商店的东西。作为一种研究工具，它是无与伦比的。它是一个伟大的方式来跟朋友。它使丰富的媒体和替代的新闻来源。互联网访问和利用好它的能力实际上是一个必须为现代世界上的成功。2 任何技术一样，不过，它已经变得清晰，当我们开始依靠它的消极方面。如污染和跟车的便利的交通堵塞，上网已证明如此受欢迎，已引起一种新的社会流行，网络成瘾。3 考虑下面的故事。几年前，一对夫妇在美国被控疏忽照顾子女。这是他们到在线玩游戏，让他们从照顾两个孩子婴儿的瘾。另一个最近新闻故事讲一个人花了这么多时间在线的他没睡足以保住他的工作。最终，他失去了他的房子但保持他的笔记本电脑，仍然花了一整天在线。4 College students are impacted as well.

1也许世界上最伟大的变化在现代已经看到了互联网的崛起。这是很难否认它增加了人们的生活的积极变化，因为它使生活更容易与快速访问的东西，如地图，新闻和在线商店。作为一种研究工具，它是无与伦比的。这是一个很好的方法来跟上朋友。它使一个丰富的媒体渠道和替代新闻来源。互联网的访问和利用它的能力，实际上是一个在现代世界的成功必须。2像任何技术，虽然，它有负面的方面，变得清晰，因为我们开始依靠它。像污染和交通堵塞，随着汽车的方便，互联网接入已被证明是如此受欢迎，它已经引起了一种新的社会流行，网络成瘾。3考虑以下的故事。几年前，一对夫妇在美国被指控对孩子的忽视。他们沉迷于玩在线游戏，使他们不照顾他们的两个婴儿的孩子。另一个最近的新闻故事告诉一个男人，他在网上花了这么多时间，他没有足够的睡眠来保持他的工作。最终，他失去了他的房子，但保持他的笔记本电脑，仍然花了一整天的时间在网上。4名大学生也受到影响。有许多优秀的学生的故事，他们失去了他们的大学奖学金，从贫穷的成绩，或其他的学生，他们在大学完全失败，只是因为他们花太多时间上网。一个学生不仅失败了，而且瘦了12磅。他是如此的参与网络，他忘了吃！想象这种情况的痛苦！5这些事情并没有发生在这些人，因为他们是懒惰或愚蠢的。他们发生了因为成瘾。新的大学生，即使是最聪明和最成功的学生，最有可能从这些影响的风险，因为互联网是重要的他们的研究，因为他们只是进入一个世界，他们的在线习惯不再受到关注的父母。如果没有家庭的纪律和结构，学生必须自己管理时间。在他们的第一个学期，他们的成绩可以下降，他们的健康下降，他们的友谊停止。6很容易为那些不受强大的连接的影响的人-那些谁可以很容易地控制他们的时间在线-把网络成瘾视为一个假想的问题或属性它的起源到一个弱的个性。但网络成瘾背后的“大脑化学”不是想象的。许多常见的网络交互，如在线游戏得分，得到电子邮件或即时消息，寻找新的博客，都会释放内啡肽在脑。内啡肽是重要的大脑化学物质与成功和快乐积极的感觉。这并不奇怪，考虑到互联网的相互作用往往涉及到成功的挑战或有社会交流。我们的大脑在现实生活中奖励我们这些活动。7问题与互联网是它可以不长时间内啡肽释放，持续的奖励，如点击鼠标快速的大脑。这些奖励是不实际的，有用的，现实生活中的奖励，但简单的刺激，引起积极的反馈在大脑中。在现实生活中，内啡肽鼓励我们与朋友和家人交流，或尝试学习新的东西。网络成瘾的内啡肽不让人们连接到他们的电脑。网络成瘾的行为非常像赌徒拉在拉斯维加斯的机器上的杠杆，即使它是不理性的，伤害他们的研究，或破坏他们的健康和他们的生活。8所以看你花多少时间上网，节制是你最好的防御网络成瘾。使用连接的奇迹，以丰富你的研究，保持与遥远的朋友，探索多个新的世界。只是小心。请注意，如果你发现你在考虑互联网，即使你不在网上，或如果你喜欢你的在线时间与你的现实生活中的朋友，或如果你隐藏或谎言你花多少时间在网上。如果你发现自己在做任何这些事情，退后一步。寻找其他的方式来享受你的生活。得到了一些锻炼，这是内啡肽的主要来源！参观一个博物馆或一个美丽的公园。与朋友们聚在一起学习或安排一些有趣的时间放松。互联网是一个强大的工具，但要确保你明智地使用它提供的所有良好的价值，你不会让太多的一件好事成为坏的东西。
