A staggering four out of five parents worry that their children will become addicted to Facebook, according to a study.
根據一項調查,多達八成父母擔心自己的孩子會沉迷于Facebook不可自拔。
Eighty percent believe social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter have the ability to take overtheir children‘s lives.
80%的父母認為Facebook和Twitter這樣的社交網站會左右孩子的人生。
One in three parents, meanwhile, believes the Internet has the power to ’rewire‘ brains without a person’s knowledge and thinks their children are in danger from the web.
此外,還有三分之一的父母認為網絡能在不知不覺下“改裝”一個人的大腦,并認為自己的孩子正遭到來自網絡的威脅。
The extraordinary findings come from a poll of 1,000 parents carried out by the Nominet Trust, an organisation that promoted internet projects that address social disadvantage.
