For
most
undergraduates,
non- stop
Internet
connectivity
is
the
fuel
of
college
life.
More than just toys, these instruments are powerful tools for the storage and
management of virtually every kind of information. And as more people around the
world
adopt
these
instruments,
they
are
becoming
indispensable.
So,
students
should
use the wonders of the Internet to do homework, review
lecture outlines, take part
in
class
discussions
and
network
online
with
their
friends.
But
in
doing
so,
students
must
remember
to
regulate
and
balance
their
time.
Too

time
online
can
mean
too
little
time
in

or

Students
should
not

the
Internet

them
away
from
the
real world outside.

对于大多数本科生来说，永不间断的互联网是大学生活的动力。网络工具不只是玩具，而且

是
储存和管理几乎各种信息的强大工具。随着世界上越来越多的人使用这些工具，它们已经
变得不
可或缺。所以，学生应该运用互联网所创造的奇迹来完成作业、复习讲座提纲 、参与

课堂讨论、与
朋友们进行网上社交。但是在做这些的同时，学生们必须记 住，要控制和平衡
好时间。上网时间
过长就意味着在现实生活中学习、锻炼或和朋友叙谈的时间 过少。学生们

不应该让电脑屏幕上的
互联网世界使他们脱离外面的现实世界。

Colleges began embracing Internet access in the mid-990s, when many began wiring
dorms with high-speed connections. In the past few years, schools have taken the
lead by turning their campuses into bubbles of Wi-Fi networks. In fact, a recent
study
in
the
US
found
that
information
technology
accounted
for
5%
to
8%
of
college
budgets, up from an estimated 2% to 3% in the mid-980s.
