　　R: what does that mean? there's nothing wrong with me.

　　"谷歌依賴癥"來自于"混亂"和"谷歌"兩個詞.因為點擊鼠標(biāo)即可獲得大量的信息,網(wǎng)民非常容易上癮.

　　沒錯,沒法獲取最近的信息會讓我受不了,都快瘋了.

　　R: yeah, that's right. If no one sends me tect messages, I'll go crazy.

　　R: addiction? checking emails and text messages often can be called an addiction? no way!

　　上癮?經(jīng)常查看郵件和短信也叫上癮?不可能吧?

　　A: yes, it is. Do you consider a frequent check of your income emails to be an integral part of your working day?
