I live in a university dorm⑨ with a couple of⑩ great roommates. I have a never-ending flo of messages and updates from all the people I associate wit online. Ye the truth of the matter is: I feel lonely.
I’m barel the only person [9]who feels this way. According to research, over two-thirds of young people [10]find it easier to make friends online than it is “in real life”. I’m way beyond a shy or reserve person, but I’m wire up every day, like most of my friends.
On the surfac, I have an active social life. I attend parties and play sports but I’m always distracte. They say [11]that phones bring people closer together but in realit, my mind is always a millio miles away. I obsess ove exactly [12]how many followers I have on my account, but I can’t remember the birthdays of some of my oldest mate.

Social networking dominate my life in so many ways. Sometimes I set deadline for myself: I will start doing my homework at 8 pm, and aim to finish in two hours. At 7.50 pm, I’m still scrollin through my friends’ silly posts and photos. Before I know it, it’s 9.30 pm and I still haven’t moved an inc from the sofa. I download song after song, video after video, but I’m not really paying attention. The stimulatio is in chasin after the next song rather than truly enjoying it.

我住在大学宿舍里,室友们都很好。我总是不停地收到交往的网友发来的信息和最新消息。然而事实却是:我感到孤独。
我不是唯一一个有这种感觉的人。研究显示,超过三分之二的年轻人发现在网上交朋友比“在现实生活中”交朋友更容易。我远非一个害羞或含蓄的人,但是我每天都在上网,我的朋友们大多也是如此。从表面上看,我的社交生活很丰富。我参加派对和体育运动,但总是不能专心。他们说手机让人们联系更加紧密,但实际上,我的思绪总是飞到十万八千里之外。我总是惦记自己的账户有多少人关注,但却记不住一些老朋友的生日。
社交网络在很多方面都控制着我的生活。有时我会为自己设定截止时间:我要在晚上8点开始做作业,并且要在两小时内完成。晚上7:50,我还在浏览朋友们发的无聊帖子和照片。等我意识到的时候已经是晚上9:30了,我还在沙发上坐着一动没动。我下载一首又一首歌曲,一个又一个视频,但其实并不在意。我的兴奋点是寻找下一首歌而不是真正欣赏音乐。朋友们试图让我远离手机,但是一旦我又独自一人,我就迫不及待地想回到网络世界,回到手机所提供的紧张的活动中去。
我经常感到沮丧、不满和孤独。因为我花了很多时间上网社交,所以一直在推迟现实生活中重要的事情:家庭作业、任务、以有意义的方式和家人朋友联系。有趣的是,我和朋友们经常在网上聊得热火朝天,但见面时却无话可说

So, that’s the problem with social networking. We’re hard-wire in, but we’re more disconnecte than ever
几天前,我和一些朋友出去吃晚饭。我最好的朋友因为接听电话而离席30分钟。有些人整个晚餐都埋头在看手机,给网上的朋友发短信,却忽略了坐在他们面前的人。不可思议的是没有人认为这不礼貌。这就是现在的生活方式。去年夏天一次全家度假,我妹妹一直抱怨说她的手机需要充电。手机充上电后,她就花了数小时浏览她最喜欢的流行歌手的消息,一次也没有抬起头欣赏窗外的景色。
真正令人担心的是,我认识的每个人,包括我自己,都不能够戒掉互联网。我甚至无法想象一周没有社交网络的生活——想想你会错过的所有重要约会、邀请和新闻更新!想要戒酒的酗酒者可以避免饮酒,但我们如何杜绝手机呢?毕竟,我需要用它来学习,因为我的老师和同学需要随时与我联系。
所以,这就是社交网络的问题。我们被网络连接,但却比以往更加疏远
