It is 3 a.m. Everything on the university campus seems ghostlike in the quiet, misty darkness everything except the computer center. Here, twenty students rumpled(弄皱的,散乱的) and bleary-eyed (视力模糊不清的), sit staring at their consoles, tapping away on the terminal keys. With eyes glued to the video screen, they tap on for hours. For the rest of the world, it might be the middle of the night, but here time does not exist. This is a world to itself. These young computer "hackers" are pursuing a kind of compulsion, a drive so consuming that it overshadows nearly every other part of their lives and forms the focal point of their existence. They are compulsive computer programmers. Some of these students have been at the console for thirty hours or more without a break for meals or sleep. Some have fallen asleep on sofas and lounge chairs in the computer center, trying to catch a few winks but are reluctant to get too far away from their beloved machines.
Most of these students don’t have to be at the computer center in the middle of the night. They aren’t working on assignments. They are there because they want to be they are irresistibly drawn there.
And they are not alone. There are hackers at computer centers all across the country, In their extreme form, they focus on nothing else. They drop out of school and lose contact with friends; they might have difficulty finding jobs, choosing instead to wander from one computer center to another.
"I remember one hacker. We literally had to carry him off his chair to feed him and put him to sleep. We really feared for his health," says a computer science professor at MIT.
Computer science teachers are now more aware of the implications of this hacker phenomenon and are on the lookout for potential hackers and cases of computer addiction(沉溺,上瘾) that are already severe. They know that the case of the hackers is not just the story of one person’s relationship with a machine. It is the story of a society’s relationship to the so-called thinking machines, which are becoming almost ubiquitous(到处存在的). [br] The author’s attitude towards the "hacker" phenomenon can be described as ______.
