Screen-addicted teens are unhappy
A new study explored the link between adolescent life satisfaction and screen time.
Rearchers found that teens who spent more time in front of screen devices -- playing computer医生的职责和使命
games, using social media, texting and video chatting -- were less happy than tho who invested
more time in non-screen activities like sports, reading newspapers and magazines, and
face-to-face social interaction.
Total screen avoidance doesn't lead to happiness either. The greater unhappiness among tho

Do Smartphones Make Us Smarter?
Should teachers allow cellphones in a classroom? A recent study on the way smartphones
disturb learning might help explain the issue. Rearchers published findings showing how
students were affected by their phones in the classroom. They explored the differences in student
performance in four situations: open phone u allowed, phones allowed in the classroom but
could not be ud, no phones in the classroom and a no-instruction control group. After watching
a 20-minute video, students took a short quiz. The result was that the students in a room without
any cellphones performed significantly better on the test. Scientists believe the way we attach
ourlves to our phones could be the problem.
Smartphones have become so strongly established in society that many people are lost
without them. We are now in an age when many people can’t imagine life without a phone. There is even a name for the anxiety caud by not having one—nomophobia, which is the powerful
feeling people get when they don’t have signal, their battery is about to die, or they are parated from their phones. Their fear of missing out on important information or connections can have a
controlling effect on their lives and can divide their attention from other important things like
learning.
So does information technology help or block the way we think? In the past, people relied heavily on specific knowledge and knew who in their circle of friends would be most likely to
know things in different subjects. Now, our friend with all the information is the Internet. Indications are that people don’t remember information as well if they know they can u a computer or phone to recall it quickly. So it may be more difficult to move information from the Internet into our long-term memory.

Rearchers recently found smartphones influenced learning. For one thing, smartphones have become an esntial part of life, without which people feel at a loss, thus distracting their attention from learning. For another, people rely so heavily on smartphones that their long-term memory can be affected. However, having access to a large amount of information also benefits people in some aspects.

The sharing economy has grown in recent years to include everything from apartment sharing to car sharing to community tool sharing.
Since 2009, a new form of the sharing economy has been emerging in neighbourhoods throughout the US and around the world –Little Free Libraries. The libraries are boxes put in neighbourhoods from which local people can take out and put in books. Little Free Libraries come
in all shapes and sizes. Some libraries also have themes, focusing on books for children, adults or tour guides.
In 2009, Tod Bol built the first Little Free Library in the Mississippi River town of Hudson,
语字开头的成语Wisconsin, to honour his mother, who loved reading. When he saw the people of his community
gathering around it, exchanging conversation as well as books, he knew he wanted to take his
simple idea further.
Since then, his idea has become a movement, spreading from state to state and country to
country. According to LittleFreeLibrary, there are now 18,000 of the little boxes around the
world, found in each of the 50 US states and 70 countries in Europe, Africa and Asia.
The Internet has helped to spread Little Free Libraries. But an Atlantic article said that they
are something different in a world of e-reader downloads. The little wooden boxes are
refreshingly physical and human. When you open the door of the box, chance and your
neighbours’ tastes determine what you’ll find. You might find a graphic novel, a cookbook or a
tour guidebook.
