Young Chinese internet addicts on the rise
www.chinanews.cn 2006-01-13 14:36:53
Chinanews, Shijiazhuang, Jan. 13 (By Niu Lin) - Statistics show that
netizens under 35 years of age constitute more than 80% of the 103
million Chinese internet users, while the average age of 20-odd million
online game players is merely 23. Youngsters' indulgence in web games and
internet addiction has become an increasingly prominent social problem.
The recently released 2005 "report on young Chinese internet addicts"
shows that to date, young Chinese web addicts have amounted to
approximately 13.2% of total young netizens, and 13% are inclined to
become internet addicts.
Relevant experts point out that young internet addicts were born largely
owing to unsuccessful education, especially family education. Youths'
addiction to the internet reflects that Chinese family education has
serious problems.
The causes of the above phenomenon lie in that Chinese youths lack
self-control to some extent and wish to ease the pressure in studies,
escape from loneliness and develop a sense of fulfillment through
internet games. The root, however, is the failure of family education,
according to expert analysis.
