Internet use appears to cause a decline in psychological
well-being,according to research at Carmegie Mellon University.
Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the
Internet experienced more depression and loneliness than those
that logged on less frequently, the two-year study showed.                   【A1】________
And it wasn't that people who were already feeling badly spent            【A2】________
more time on the Intermnet, and that using the Net actually                 【A3】________
was appeared to cause the bad feelings.
Researchers are puzzling over the results, which was                              【A4】________
completely contrary with their expectations. They expected that           【A5】________
the Net would prove socially healthy than television, since the              【A6】________
Net allows users to choose their information and to
communicate with others.
The fact that Internet use reduces time unavailable for                           【A7】________
family and friends may account for the drop in well-being,
researchers supposed. Faceless, bodiless“virtual” communication
may be less psychologically satisfied than it may be                                【A8】________
shallower. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider
world via the Net makes users less satisfied with his lives.                       【A9】________
“But it's important to remember this is not about the
technology itself; it's about how it is used, says psychologist
Christine Riley of Intel, one of the study's sponsors.“It really
points to the need for considering social factors by terms of                  【A10】________
how you design applications and services for technology.”
