“Internet addiction（瘾）” was once used to describe young people who spent too much time watching videos or playing games online. But today, a growing number of old people are becoming victims（受害者）. It is a serious social problem.

        According to a report on the Internet use of China’s elderly people, 38. 6% of people aged 60 or over were Internet users. And some surveyed elderly people spent at least 10 hours on the Internet every day. Phone overuse could lead to the higher risk（风险）of many diseases. Besides health problems, elderly people’s phone addiction also brings family problems. For example, their adult children often get sad and worried when they stay up late playing with the phone or shop online blindly（盲目地）.

Why do old people depend heavily on mobile phones? It’s because they have lots of spare time and they wish to communicate with others.

Though it’s natural for the elderly to meet their spiritual needs through the smart phone, they should reduce their time on the Internet and get enough rest at night. As for adult children, they should go home more often to visit their parents. What’s more, they should talk more with their parents to reduce their sense of loneliness.
