不能上網就焦慮? 新字:discomgoogolation說的就是你!
更新日期:2008/09/03 13:15

(路透倫敦2日電)無法上網便感到焦慮、壓力?許多人都有這種問題,而且現在有一個字專門說這種情況:discomgoogolation(網路不安症)。

根據一份調查,英國有將近一半的人,44%,是discomgoogolation患者,超過1/4、27%的人承認無法上網時就會壓力上升。

藉由測量心跳和腦波活動診斷discomgoogolation的路易斯(David Lewis)博士說:「寬頻網路的擴展,在人類史上首次代表了我們進入了『立即回應』文化。」

discomgoogolation這個字來自discombobulate(困惑、洩氣)與Google這兩個字。路易斯說,「數不進的資料就在指尖之遙,我們已經對網路上癮;無法上網時,『網路不安症』就襲來。」中央社(翻譯)

Nearly half of Britons suffer from 'discomgoogolation'
Reuters - Monday, September 1 03:44 pm

LONDON (Reuters) - Feeling stressed or anxious at an inability to access the Internet? Don't worry, you're not alone and now there's a word for it: "discomgoogolation".

Nearly half of Britons -- 44 percent -- are discomgoogolation sufferers, according to a survey, with over a quarter -- 27 percent -- admitting to rising stress levels when they are unable to go online.

"The proliferation of broadband has meant for the first time in history we've entered a culture of 'instant answers,'" said psychologist Dr David Lewis, who identified discomgoogolation by measuring heart rates and brainwave activity.
The term comes from "discombobulate," which means to confuse or frustrate.

"A galaxy of information is just a mouse click away and we have become addicted to the web," added Lewis. "When unable to get online, discomgoogolation takes over.

"It was surprising to see the stress this led to brain activity and blood pressure in participants both increase in response to being cut off from the Internet."

The survey also found 76 percent of Britons could not live without the Internet, with over half of the population using the web between one and four hours a day and 19 percent of people spending more time online than with their family in a week.
Forty-seven percent of those polled believed the Internet was more important in people's lives than religion, with one in five people paying the Internet more attention than their partner.

Commissioned by information service 118118, the YouGov poll questioned 2,100 Britons during the first week of July.

確實無法上網會令我很困擾
我的工作需要常常在網路上尋找資料
閱讀網路上的相關期刊
還有跟朋友們聯絡最方便的 msn
這些都是不可或缺的
有一陣子我跑了不少學校、工研院、中研院的圖書館
甚至請在國外唸書的朋友幫忙印他們的藏書的資料
但...也是得事先透過各圖書館的網路查詢系統
真的不得不承認
沒網路...會嚴重影響到我的工作
生活的話就還好囉
至於是否會感到不安呢?
我想我應該會吧
隨你所喜
或酒、或詩、或是喜!
