“Internet Addiction” Stems from a Craving for the “Real World”
The previous paragraph was about preparing my doctoral proposal, and I also couldn’t help thinking about the topics of two fellow students in my cohort—one working on the environment, the other on the network. In fact, both are academic directions I had envisioned in previous years, and I will eventually return to these two themes as well, so looking at my two fellow students’ topics, I couldn’t help feeling a bit covetous and eager. 5ningning wants to do a phenomenological study of the network, and Senior Brother Shengli suggested that we might as well first discuss the issue of “internet addiction.” I took that to heart too, and have had…
