A: can’t bear it, right? I’ve been there before. I’ll feel uncomfortable if no one calls me or sends me text messages, like there is something missing.

R: yeah, that’s right. If no one sends me tect messages, I’ll go crazy.

A: actually, this is a kind of addiction called "information" or "information overload".

R: addiction? checking emails and text messages often can be called an addiction? no way!

A: yes, it is. Do you consider a frequent check of your income emails to be an integral part of your working day?

R: aboslutely.

A: do you have your cell phone with you wherever you go and check text messages and phone calls from time to time?

R: yeah, it’s a must. Otherwise,I may miss important phone calls and text messages.

A: do you open all your IM tools whenever you’re using a computer?

R: yes. MSN, QQ, Skype, Google Talk, Ali wangwang, everything, so that I’ll be in touch with all friends and relatives.

A: now I can tell you’re definitely addicted to the overflow of information.
