Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet felt more depression(沮丧) and loneliness than those who spent little time on the Internet,the two-year study showed. And it wasn't that people who were already feeling bad spent more time on the Internet,but that using the Internet seems to cause the bad feelings.
Scientists are surprised at the results, which were quite different from what they thought before. They thought that the Internet would make people psychologically healthier than TV, since on the Internet users are free to choose their information and to communicate(交流)with others.
However,the scientists also said,when people spend a lot of time or even all the day time on the lntemet,there is no time left for them to be with their family and friends. They can't have real conversations. Another possible reason is that people can see the outside world on the Internet and it makes them less satisfied(满意的)with their lives.
"But it' s important to remember this is not about the Internet itself; it' s about how it is used, " one of the scientists says.
