There's a lot of anxiety around how young people, particularly teenagers, use the Internet but new research by Talk Talk suggests some of these fears may be overblown.
In a recent study, 2,000 young people aged 13-16 and the parents of the same teenagers, were interviewed about their attitudes to technology and loneliness.
The teens were mainly optimistic about technology and its uses. 51 percent said that during times when they felt lonely, tech provided a solution to their loneliness, enabling them to make new friends, receive support and advice, as well as allowing them to read positive comments online. However, social media was considered as cause for feeling lonely by 12 percent of teens, who said they felt lonely because they didn't have many friends on social media.
When it comes to the parents, on the other hand there is an education gap between worrying about the Internet, and knowing what to do about it. For example, 70 percent of parents worry about their teens using the Internet, and knowing what to do about it. For example, 70 percent of parents worry about their teens using the Internet, but 65 percent said they did not limit the hours their teen spends using social media and tech, and 70 percent reported they don't use parent protection controls and software. Around 37 percent said they feel illequipped or unsure about how to manage their teens online.
It seems like when it comes to the Internet, the main problem is with the parents not understanding what they're doing. Research by Oxford University academics found there was little evidence linking screen time to mental health problems in teenagers. The study used a mixture of selfreporting techniques as well as timeuse diaries.
We're still learning about how things like social media affect our health and well being, but at least this research shows that the Generation Z (those born between 1996-2010) may have more of a hold on tech and its effects than their parents do.

Ⅴ.七选五
The smartphones that can take selfies (自拍) have become popular.However, according to recent news reports, the love for taking a beautiful selfie has killed 12 people this year. 1
While the problems have been known for a while, they didn't catch people's attention until the death of Hideto Ueda at Taj Mahal in India.Hideto Ueda was trying to take a selfie with his friends when they fell off some stairs.He hurt his head badly and passed away soon.
Other serious accidents include a Russian woman who fell off a bridge when she was trying to take an exciting selfie.Three Indian students suffered a similar fate after they were run over by a train while taking a selfie on the railway tracks. 2 So they could have been avoided.
3 In July, the Russian government began a program in the country to alert (警告) its young citizens to the danger of this hobby.The campaign's slogan was“Even a million ‘likes' on social media are less important than your life and healthy body”.
Many countries are banning the tool that has contributed to the rise in injuries—the selfie stick! Many museums and theme parks including Disney support the government's decision. 4 The West Japan Railway became the first in the world to give up the sticks both inside Japan's trains and out on the railway.
While the action may help reduce the incidents, the only way to stop taking selfies related to injuries and deaths is that everyone should take responsibility. 5 So the next time you or your friends decide to take a selfie that appears a little risky, be sure to stop and ask yourself—is it worth it?
A.Please keep off smartphones.
B.All of them came from carelessness.
C.They have no permission to use selfie sticks.
D.It is not just for themselves, but also for their friends.
E.To solve the danger taking selfies brings, officials are taking action.
F.Governments start calling on the public to give up selfie sticks every now and then.
G.So some believe that capturing the“ultimate”selfie is causing people to take unnecessary risks.
