14.Computer addiction can be described as the overuse of the computer which continues despite serious negative consequences for personal,social or occupational functions.However,not all people who spend hours each day on the computer are considered addicted.There are many uses for computers and the Internet and in many cases,an individual may spend 6or more hours in a day on the computer but still not be considered an addict.Therefore,there is no set number of hours that is considered a potential for computer addiction.But those who are suffering from anxiety and depression caused by stress at work,relationships or financial problems tend to become computer addicts.Some people become addicted mainly because they feel bored with everything and feel like there is nothing else to do.
If one feels an intense desire to go online,play a computer game,or socialize as soon as he wakes up and before he goes to bed,he may have become an addict.Other symptoms include using the computer as the only source of entertainment,lying to his family and friends about the activities that he performs while on the computer.Some addicts possess anxious feelings when wanting to use the computer or knowing that time on the computer is limited.Others may lose track of time while on the computer and spend more time on it than intended.The computer can also be used as a form of escapism from reality.
Excessive computer use may result in the lack of face-to-face social interaction and an increasing amount of time and money on hardware,software and computer-related activities.Computer addiction makes one neglect his work,school,or family obligations.He often fails at repeated efforts to control computer use.So it's time to seek help for the sake of health.
Counseling (心理辅导) or therapy can focus on treating underlying mental health conditions that caused the addiction such as anxiety,depression,social trauma or other conditions.Many different options for group or community support are available to assist those addicts.Just getting out and interacting with others can be very rewarding to the computer addict.Another method is to focus on new interests.For instance,a computer user might take part in a new gym membership,spend time at the movies with friends or go out for a walk.If a computer user does feel that he must go onto the computer,consider talking himself out of the computer use unless it is absolutely necessary.If he does go on the computer,he must make a plan for what he will do when on the computer,how long it will take and what time you will be off of the computer.

People watching TV advertisements would notice that there has always been an advertisement war between the marketers of different consumer goods.A few such cases are given below.
1.Parachute Coconut Oil vs.V.V.D.Gold
Some time back,the producer of V.V.D Gold Coconut Oil claimed in their TV advertisement that only their products was superior and the one sold in blue colour bottles (the reference was to Parachute coconut oil) was suitable only for un-natural hair.
2.Tata Salt vs.Captain Cook
Tata salt was first iodised (碘处理) salt marketed by an Indian Company.It has been enjoying a good and steady market.Captain Cook,another producer of iodised salt,who entered the market later,had to adopt some strategy to get control of the market.The TV advertisement of Captain Cook stressed on‘Free flow'of their salt when transferred to a container.The producer of Tata Salt retaliated (报复) by saying that the claim of Captain Cook was a trick and those who were quality conscious should deal with it with caution.
3.Pepsi vs.Coco Cola
Coca Cola was selected as the official soft drink for the Wills World Cricket 1996.When the cricket series was on,the marketers of Pepsi constantly advertised on TV.Their advertisement gave the idea that the cricketers preferred only Pepsi and as a matter of fact there was nothing official about it.
4.Horlicks vs.Complan
Sometime back,the TV advertisement of Complan,a health drink directly attacked Horlicks,which has been in the market for several decades.The claim of Complan was that their brand (which according to them was Brand C) has a higher percentage of ingredients (材料) compared to Brand H (reference was nothing but to Horlicks).
The above examples clearly show how the technique of advertisement is misused by some marketers to ruin the image of their competitors.This,certainly,is not a healthy trend.
Any marketer should only speak about his products and not about his competitors'products.The awareness of consumers has certainly increased over the years and they are no longer easily taken in.There are many consumer products like salt,oil shaving blades etc.But one thing for sure is that offering the same product in a different container will not make the product different.
Mass media like Radio,Television and newspaper should not allow advertisements that tell lies.Legal regulations,in this regard,should also be made stricter.

At the outbreak of World War I,Frost went back to farming in New Hampshire.From then on,although he made many journeys elsewhere,he considered the farm to be his home and farming activities became the focus of his poetry.
Frost's verses(诗,诗体) are a part of a great tradition,shaped by the Roman poet Vergil,whose poetry was mainly about farming.However,though he used farm situations in much of his poetry,he gave them a wide application.He might write about stepping on a rake(耙子) and describe the feeling when it hit him,but he used the incident to show how life gave us lessons.
Some talents in poetry are used up early,but not Frost's.He continued to publish fine poetry for fifty years.He reached the height of his popularity after World War II.If America had a national poet in the 20th century,it was Frost.He was chosen to read one of his poems at the inauguration(就职典礼)of the late President John F.Kennedy,the first poet ever so honored.
