Half of American teens say they feel addicted 2 to their mobile devices and more than half of parents say their kids are. This is according to a new study by Common Sense Media. And an expert in digital detoxification says one sign of a problem is when a young person would rather play videogames inside, alone, than go to the movies or hang out with friends.

半数美国青年人认为自己沉迷于移动设备，超过半数的家长认为他们的孩子沉迷于移动设备。这是常识媒体进行的新研究所揭发的数据。一名数码解毒专家表示，这个问题的其中一个迹象是，年轻人宁可独自在房间里玩电子游戏，也不愿和朋友们出去看电影。

It's not known yet whether a large number of people would fit into a technical definition of an addict 1 when it comes to cell phone use. But those who think they might aren't limited to teenagers. The study found that 27 percent of parents have troubled unplugging.

目前并不清楚是否有很多人属于技术上说的手机上瘾症。但是对手机上瘾的人可能不只是年轻人。研究发现，27%的家长有同样的问题。

华莱士：71%的青年人不只使用一个社交网站，研究发现，社交媒体对自尊有害。一项研究发现，人们使用脸谱网的时间越长，他们就越会认为自己的生活很糟。

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: If you're not having a good day and then you go on Facebook and you see how your best friend just went to Disney and your other friend, you know, just got a boyfriend and everyone is having such a great life, because we only post our happy moments, then that makes you feel worse.
