　　Caught in the Web

　　A few months ago, it wasn't unusual for 47-year-old Carla Toebe to spend 15

hours per day online. She'd wake up early, turn on her laptop and chat on Internet

dating sites and instant-messaging programs – leaving her bed for only brief intervals.

Her household bills piled up, along with the dishes and dirty laundry, but it took near-

constant complaints from her four daughters before she realized she had a problem.

　　"I was starting to feel like my whole world was falling apart – kind of slipping

into a depression," said Carla. "I knew that if I didn't get off the dating sites, I'd just

keep going," detaching (使脱离) herself further from the outside world.

　　Toebe's conclusion: She felt like she was "addicted" to the Internet. She's not

alone.

　　Concern about excessive Internet use isn't new. As far back as 1995, articles in

medical journals and the establishment of a Pennsylvania treatment center for

overusers generated interest in the subject. There's still no consensus on how much

time online constitutes too much or whether addiction is possible.

　　But as reliance on the Web grows, there are signs that the question is getting

more serious attention: Last month, a study published in CNS Spectrums claimed to

be the first large-scale look at excessive Internet use. The American Psychiatric

Association may consider listing Internet addiction in the next edition of its diagnostic

manual. And scores of online discussion boards have popped up on which people

discuss negative experiences tied to too much time on the Web.

　　"There's no question that there're people who're seriously in trouble because

they're overdoing their Internet involvement," said psychiatrist (精神科医生) Ivan

Goldberg. Goldberg calls the problem a disorder rather than a true addiction.

　　Jonathan Bishop, a researcher in Wales specializing in online communities, is

more skeptical. "The Internet is an environment," he said. "You can't be addicted to

the environment." Bishop describes the problem as simply a matter of priorities,

which can be solved by encouraging people to prioritize other life goals and plans in

place of time spent online.

　　The new CNS Spectrums study was based on results of a nationwide telephone

survey of more than 2,500 adults. Like the 2005 survey, this one was conducted by

Stanford University researchers.About 6% of respondents reported that "their

relationships suffered because of excessive Internet use." About 9% attempted to

conceal "nonessential Internet use," and nearly 4% reported feeling "preoccupied by

the Internet when offline."

　　About 8% said they used the Internet as a way to escape problems, and almost

14% reported they "found it hard to stay away from the Internet for several days at a

time."

　　"The Internet problem is still in its infancy," said Elias Aboujaoude, a Stanford

professor. No single online activity is to blame for excessive use, he said. "They're

online in chat rooms, checking e-mail, or writing blogs. [The problem is] not limited

to porn (色情) or gambling" websites.

　　Excessive Internet use should be defined not by the number of hours spent online

but "in terms of losses," said Maressa Orzack, a Harvard University professor. "If it's

a loss [where] you're not getting to work, and family relationships are breaking down

as a result, then it's too much."

　　Since the early 1990s, several clinics have been established in the U. S. to treat

heavy Internet users. They include the Center for Internet Addiction Recovery and the

Center for Internet Behavior.

　　The website for Orzack's center lists the following among the psychological

symptoms of computer addiction:

　　● Having a sense of well-being (幸福) or excitement while at the computer.

　　● Longing for more and more time at the computer.

　　● Neglect of family and friends.

　　● Feeling empty, depressed or irritable when not at the computer.

　　● Lying to employers and family about activities.

　　● Inability to stop the activity.

　　● Problems with school or job.

　　Physical symptoms listed include dry eyes, backaches, skipping meals, poor

personal hygiene (卫生) and sleep disturbances.

　　People who struggle with excessive Internet use maybe depressed or have other

mood disorders, Orzack said. When she discusses Internet habits with her patients,

they often report that being online offers a "sense of belonging, and escape,

excitement [and] fun," she said. "Some people say relief…because they find

themselves so relaxed."

　　Some parts of the Internet seem to draw people in more than others. Internet

gamers spend countless hours competing in games against people from all over the

world. One such game, called World of Warcraft, is cited on many sites by posters

complaining of a "gaming addiction."

　　Andrew Heidrich, an education network administrator from Sacramento, plays

World of Warcraft for about two to four hours every other night, but that's nothing

compared with the 40 to 60 hours a week he spent playing online games when he was

in college. He cut back only after a full-scale family intervention (干预), in which

relatives told him he'd gained weight.

　　"There's this whole culture of competition that sucks people in" with online

gaming, said Heidrich, now a father of two. "People do it at the expense of everything

that was a constant in their lives." Heidrich now visits websites that discuss gaming

addiction regularly "to remind myself to keep my love for online games in check."

　　Toebe also regularly visits a site where posters discuss Internet overuse. In

August, when she first realized she had a problem, she posted a message on a Yahoo

Internet addiction group with the subject line: "I have an Internet Addiction."

　　"I'm self-employed and need the Internet for my work, but I'm failing to

accomplish my work,to take care of my home, to give attention to my children," she

wrote in a message sent to the group."I have no money or insurance to get

professional help; I can't even pay my mortgage (抵押贷款) and face losing

everything."

　　Since then, Toebe said, she has kept her promise to herself to cut back on her

Internet use. "I have a boyfriend now, and I'm not interested in online dating," she said

by phone last week. "It's a lot better now."
