Four out of five parents worry that their children will become addicted to Facebook,  according to a study.

Eighty percent believe social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter have the ability to take over their children’s lives. One in three parents,  meanwhile,  believe the Internet has the power to “rewire” brains(“改装”大脑)without a person’s knowledge and think their children are in danger of the web.

The extraordinary findings come from a poll of 1, 000 parents carried out by the Nominet Trust,  an organization that promoted Internet projects which address social disadvantages.

However,  Nominet said their findings fly in the face of neurological(神经学上的) evidence. The Trust worked with neuroscience and education expert Dr.  Paul Howard Jones,  who analysed researches on the Internet and society. The report—The Impact of Digital Technologies on Human Well-being—concluded that there is no neurological evidence to suggest that the Internet is more effective at “rewiring” our brains than other environmental influences. It also found that the Internet is a valuable learning resource and all forms of learning cause changes within the brain.

There have been reports that the use of the Internet with its vast resources of information is changing the way people think and affecting their ability to concentrate. But Nominet said that’s scaremongering（危言耸听）and the misinformation about the Internet use can potentially deny（否定）its benefits to people,  in particular parents who are worried about the effects on their children’s development.

The report also found that social networking sites,  in themselves,  are not a special source of risk to children,  and are generally beneficial as they support existing friendships. In addition,  playing action video games can improve some visual processing and motor response skills,  while computer-based activity provides mental stimulation,  and can help slow rates of cognitive decline.

If you lose your wallet, how often do you think someone will be kind enough to return it to you, with cash and credit cards?

Some people may be greedy, and others are simply too lazy to bother(打搅) with the trip to the post office to send back a wallet to a stranger. But according to a psychology study by Dr. Richard Wiseman, there’s one thing that’ll greatly increase your odds of being reunited with a lost wallet: a photograph of a cute baby.

In the study, hundreds of wallets were scattered(分散) around the streets of Edinburgh, Scotland. The psychologists wanted to see how many strangers would take the trouble to return them to the addresses listed on the drivers’ licenses inside—but more than that, they wanted to find out what would make a person more likely to help out a stranger.

To finish this, they included personal things in most of the wallets: some included a photo of a happy elderly couple, some contained a cute puppy, some contained a family portrait, and some held a photo of a lovely baby. Others had receipts(发票) showing that the wallet’s owner had recently donated to a charity（慈善）. Some contained no personal details.

As the psychologists soon discovered, the sight of a smiling baby is enough to warm nearly any heart: only one in ten of the strangers who retrieved such wallets did not return them. In contrast, the second most successful image, the puppy, had a 53% return rate. When the wallet included no photograph, it stood only a one in seven chance of being returned to the owner.

The success of the baby photograph shows a human compassion(同情) for the young that’s been passed down through the ages, according to Dr. Wiseman. “The baby kicked off a caring feeling in people, which is not surprising from an evolutionary perspective(进化的角度),” he told the Times.

To ensure our species’ survival, scientists think that we must feel empathy and compassion for our young. Scientists say that this study supports the argument that we won’t feel compassion only for our own babies, but for any that we see—hence, the strong desire a stranger would feel to return a wallet to the baby’s parent.

On a more basic level, the study also provides a great tip to help ensure that if your wallet is ever lost, you’re more likely to get it back. “If you want to increase the chances of your wallet being returned if lost, gain a photograph of the cutest baby you can find and ensure that it is clearly displayed,” said Dr. Wiseman.
