The Internet is a new technology that has impacted the world and provided many benefits to its users. At the same time the Internet has had negative ramifications. Some people are becoming preoccupied with the Internet, are unable to control their use, and are jeopardizing employment and relationships. The concept of "Internet addiction" has been proposed as an explanation for uncontrollable, damaging use of this technology. Symptoms of excessive Internet use are compared to the criteria used to diagnose other addictions. In particular, pathological gambling is compared to problematic Internet use because of overlapping criteria. This article suggests some modifications to the diagnostic criteria that has been commonly proposed for Internet addiction.
互联网是一项影响了全世界并为用户带来诸多益处的新技术。与此同时，互联网也产生了负面影响。一些人沉迷于互联网，无法控制自己的使用行为，进而危及工作和人际关系。“网络成瘾”这一概念已被提出，用以解释对这项技术无法控制且有害的使用情况。过度使用互联网的症状与用于诊断其他成瘾症的标准进行了比较。特别是，病理性赌博与问题性互联网使用因其标准重叠而被相提并论。本文针对通常所提出的网络成瘾诊断标准提出了一些修改建议。
