31.(10 分)Who39。s Really Addicting You To Technology ?Nearly everyone I know is addicted in some measure to the Internet , wrote TonySchwartz in The New York Times . It39。s a mon plaint these days. A steady stream ofsimilar headlines accuses the Net and its offspring apps , social media sites and online gamesof addicting us to distraction .There39。s little doubt that nearly everyone who es in contact with the Net has difficultydisconnecting. Then who39。s at fault for its overuse? To find solutions, it39。s important tounderstand what we39。re dealing with . There are four parties cooperating to keep you connected :the tech, your boss, your friends and you .The technologies themselves and their makers are the easiest suspects to blame for ourdistraction . Online services like Facebook , Google, twitter and the like rely on advertisingrevenue, so the more frequently you use them , the more money they make . No wonderthese panies employ teams of people focused on improving their services to be asattractive as possible.Good as these services are, there are simple steps we can take to keep them from ingtoo close. However , less than 15 percent of smartphone users are willing to adjust theirnotification settings ﹣ meaning the remaining 85 percent of us default to (默認) the appmakers39。 every preset devices.While panies like Facebook harvest attention to generate revenue from advertisers ,other technologies have no such agenda. Take , for example. We check at allhours of the day ﹣ we39。re obsessed,because that39。s what the boss wants.For almost all white﹣collar jobs , is the primary tool of corporate munication . A slow response to a第 15 頁(共 54 頁)message could hurt not only your reputation but also your livelihood .Your friends are also responsible for the addiction . Think about this familiarscene. People gathered around a table, enjoying food and each others39。 pany . Then,during an interval in the conversation , someone takes out their phone to check who knowswhat. Barely anyone notices and no one says a thing.The reality is taking one39。s phone out at the wrong time is more than an impolite behaviorbecause,unlike other minor offense ,checking tech is contagious (傳染).Once one personlooks at their phone , other people tend to do the same, starting a chain reaction .Hie technology ,your boss,and your friends ,all influence how often you find yourselfusing (or overusing) these gadgets. But there39。s still someone who deserves carefulexamination ﹣ the person holding the phone.When people are doing something difficult they39。d rather not do, the phone is used totransport them elsewhere. They can easily escape disfort temporarily , by answering or browsing the web under the excuse of so ﹣called research. The truth is that we areworking unproductively out of our bad habits .Personal technology is indeed more attractive than ever, which doesn39。t mean weshouldn39。t attempt to control our use of technology , instead, we should e to terms withthe fact that it39。s more than the technology that39。s responsible for our habits . Our workplaceculture, social norms and individual behaviors all play a part .Who39。s Really Addicting You To Technology ?A mon phenomenon ?
