For a stay-at-home mom, a computer with an Internet connection can truly be a lifeline(救生索). When diapers and baby talk become just too much, adult talk is just a click away. But for some moms, the attraction of the online world becomes too strong to resist and instead of being an occasional thing, it becomes an addiction.

Coleen Moore of the Illinois Institute for Addiction Recovery says she is seeing a growing number of young stay-at-home moms for whom blogs and social networking have become a passion, which will harm their real-world lives.

At present, Internet addiction is not officially recognized as a mental disorder. But a recent survey showed 14 percent of Internet users find it hard to stay away from their computers for several days at a time, and that 8 percent use the Web to escape problems. Considering this, it is probably just a matter of time before it is.

What drives a mom to the Internet is not different from what drives an alcoholic to drink: an empty place that needs filling. “In addiction treatment, we talk about the fact that there is a void(空虚),” says Moore. “Whatever that void may be - whether it’s emotional, spiritual, physical-we’re trying to fill it.” So, how can you find the void? A journal tracking when and why you go online and what you may be avoiding when you do so can be helpful in finding it out.

But what makes Internet dependence special is the fact that usually it is not just a way to escape the tiring parenting or make a connection with others, but also a way to make a statement and be heard.

Fewer Americans are reading newspapers and more Americans are instead getting their news online, but television remains the leading source of news in the country, according to a survey.

Not surprisingly, younger people tend to get more of their news on the Internet, while older people use traditional media such as television and newspapers, the Pew Research Center’s survey on the ways of getting news said the results show an increasing change toward getting news online, but that there is now a fairly large group of better-off people that use both traditional and online sources to get their news. The Pew researchers referred to these people as integrators, and said they accounted for 23 percent of those surveyed, spending the most time getting news on a typical day.

“Like Net news consumers, integrators are highly educated. However, they are older,” the survey said.

It is this group that advertisers typically like to target, which helps explain why newspaper publishers have seen sharp falls in ad income as spending shifts to online. Pew found that the largest group of news consumers -46percent of those surveyed-have a heavy reliance(依赖) on television for their news at all times of the day. This group is the oldest, with a median age of 52, with 43 percent unemployed. They are unlikely to own a computer or go online for news.

“The group that relies most on the Internet for news is the youngest at a median age of 35. It is also the smallest group, at 13 percent of those surveyed. Fewer than half of them watch television news on a regular basis.
