These days we all depend heavily on technology, you may or may not be surprised by the results of some recent research about the effects of online and digital(数字的) technology on people’s lives. More than half of the people who were questioned said they’d feel “upset” without an Internet connection even for a brief period of time, which is, about 15—30 minutes when they were away from the Internet.
