问题    The popularization of computers and Internet services has created a group of people called " indoorsy men" or "indoorsy women". They prefer to spend most of their time at home rather than to go outdoors and have a face-to-face contact with others. Should people choose to become indoorsy? The following are opinions from both sides.

   YES
   In recent years, with the popularity of the Internet, becoming indoorsy men or women is simply a choice of a different lifestyle for young people. In the past, if you want to buy something, you need to go out of your house, go to the store, and spend an hour or two choosing the products you want to buy. But now you can just sit in front of a computer and click your mouse, and the products will be delivered to you. Being indoorsy can help people save a lot of time.
   Being indoorsy allows people to think and work in a peaceful environment. For example, writers can be quite creative when they are alone at home without being interrupted.
   Being indoorsy does not mean that people will never go out of the door. Indoorsy men or women are good at making full use of modern technologies to facilitate their life and work.
   NO
   Some sociologists warn that the indoorsy lifestyle will make people self-centered and naive. If people stay at home for a long time, they will have little interpersonal contact with others. They will forget how to conduct a face-to-face communication with others, and they may become shy, uncomfortable, or self-centered when they are involved in interpersonal communication in real life. This indoorsy lifestyle will have a bad effect on their normal interpersonal relationships and normal work.
   Indoorsy men or women spend most of their time sitting in front of computers, and they seldom engage in outdoor activities. Looking at the computer screen for a long time will do great harm to their eyes. Also, many indoorsy people seldom take part in sports. In the long run, their health will get worse.

答案    Should We Embrace the Indoorsy Lifestyle?
   With the globalization of modern technology, especially the worldwide access to the Internet services, people’s lifestyles have been greatly influenced. Some enjoy an indoorsy lifestyle. They hold that the indoorsy lifestyle is time-saving and peaceful. In contrast, those against the idea claim that keeping an indoorsy lifestyle will do harm to people both psychologically and physically.
   As far as I am concerned, modern technology is a double-edged sword. If we consider it as a useful tool to improve our life, it will certainly bring unprecedented convenience to us. With the assistance of the Internet, we can save our time through working, shopping, and communicating with others at home. Also, solitude isn’t always equal to loneliness. Free from outside interruption, one can be creative and keep his mind sharp. However, too much reliance on or indulgence in the Internet will certainly have a bad impact on our normal life and work.   For instance, indulging in online social networking may corrode people’s social skills.   To be specific, we may feel lost when talking with people face to face, which may affect our normal relationships with family members and friends.   What’s worse, sitting in front of a computer all day long means few outdoor activities, which may damage our health.
   In conclusion, while enjoying all the benefits the virtual world has brought to us, we should also step out of our houses and engage ourselves in the real world.
