Spending just a few hours a week online may make people feel more socially isolated(孤立的)，lonely and down-hearted, according to a two-year study of nearly 100 families with Internet access.

  “We were surprised to find that what is a special technology has such bad effect on social communications,” the leader author, Dr. Robert Kraut of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, said in a statement to the press(新聞界). The findings suggest that “rather than encourage students to use the Internet alone for research, for example, teachers might give pupils online group homework to complete with classmates. Local groups might build websites that allow neighbours to discuss local affairs(地方事務(wù)).

   Before the technology develops and can be much more beneficial , people should control their wishes to use much of the Internet, Dr. Kraut and other experts advise. In order to limit(限制) and monitor their children’s use, and encourage family activities, parents might consider putting the computer in the living room, rather than a child’s room, they suggest.

   Dr. Kraut also suggests that when surfing on the Internet, especially when chatting with strangers on the Internet, children should not use their real names and they should not tell the address, telephone number or parents’ names to the strangers.
