我們不愿錯過所能接受到的任何信息，因而會忍不住整日查看手機和電腦。我們害怕被發(fā)現(xiàn)“這個東西我沒看過／沒聽說過／沒見過”。這就是信息時代的“資訊癖”。

Infomania is the debilitating state of information overload, caused by the combination of a backlog of information to process, and continuous interruptions from technologies like phones, instant messaging, and e-mail.
“資訊癖”指的是信息超載的超負荷狀態(tài)，是由于需要處理大量的多種信息導致的，并受到手機、即時通訊及電郵等信息科技的不斷打擾。

It is also understood as distraction caused by the urge to check e-mail, text messaging and other sources of information, which causes the person to show symptoms to neglect other, often more important things—duties, family, etc.
總想著去查郵件，發(fā)短信，以及處理其他資訊來源，這會讓人注意力分散，導致人們忽視其他通常更重要的事情，比如責任，家庭等等。

For instance, a typical symptom of infomania is that of checking e-mail frequently during vacation.
例如，資訊癖的一個典型特征是在假期不停地查收郵件。

例句：

She attributes her increasingly poor “l(fā)ife management skills” to infomania.
她認為自己的“生活管理技能”越來越糟糕是因為資訊癖。
