年轻人离开电脑痛苦堪比戒毒
According to the Daily Telegraph on January 2, turning off mobile phones, avoiding the internet and tuning out of the television and radio can leave people suffering from symptoms similar to those seen in drug addicts trying to go cold turkey, researchers have found。
The scientists asked volunteers to stay away from all emails, text messages, Facebook and Twitter updates for 24 hours. Some of those taking part said they felt like they were undergoing "cold turkey" to break a hard drug habit, while others said it felt like going on a diet. The condition is now being described as Information Deprivation Disorder。
The research was led by the University of Maryland's International Centre for Media and the Public Agenda。
While most participants in the study struggled without their mobile phones and felt they were missing out by not using Facebook, it was abstinence from music that caused them the most difficulty。
Dr Gerodimos, of Bournemouth University, said: "What was amazing for us was how dependent people now are on their technology. People often don't own watches or alarm clocks because they rely upon their mobile phones to wake themselves up."
据英国《每日电讯报》1月2日报道,研究人员发现,关掉手机、远离网络、不看电视和不收听收音机会让人们患上一种疾病,这种疾病的症状酷似吸毒人士快速戒毒一般难忍。
研究人员让志愿者远离所有的电子邮件、短信、Facebook和Twitter等长达24个小时。一些志愿者表示他们感觉就像是在戒毒一样难受,还有一些志愿者说他们感觉就像是在节食。这种症状被描述为“信息剥夺紊乱症”。
马里兰大学媒介与公共事务国际研究中心进行了此项研究。
在试验中,大部分志愿者感到没有手机让他们的生活变得"很艰难",如果不使用Facebook, 他们的生活就会“黯淡无光”,不听音乐日子就会变得很难熬。
伯恩茅斯大学的葛洛迪莫斯博士说:“最让我们吃惊的是现代人们非常依赖电子技术。很少有人再使用手表或者闹钟了,他们一般用手机定时来叫醒自己”。
