A staggering four out of five parents worry that their children will become addicted to Facebook, according to a study.
根据一项调查,多达八成父母担心自己的孩子会沉迷于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%的父母认为Facebook和Twitter这样的社交网站会左右孩子的人生。
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,还有三分之一的父母认为网络能在不知不觉下“改装”一个人的大脑,并认为自己的孩子正遭到来自网络的威胁。
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.

The Trust worked with neuroscience and education expert Dr Paul Howard Jones, who analysed research on the internet and society.
