How the Internet ruined our lives step by step

The Internet has completely changed our thinking and life. Do we really blame the fifth scientific and technological revolution?

Internet technology and information and communication technology have been regarded as the fifth Scientific and Technological Revolution. Since its occurrence, this revolution has completely stirred up human life in an unstoppable situation ". Today, the Internet has spread to every corner of people's lives. When we enjoy the benefits of mobile communication and online shopping, the troubles that the Internet brings to our real life become more and more prominent. As a result, some people began to miss the time when there was no network for more than a decade.

Not long ago, a TV program host talked about this issue in the program:

"Every morning, you just need to pick up your phone and look at your circle of friends. When you eat, you need to brush your circle of friends. When you go to bed at night, you need to brush your circle of friends. The "red dot" that reminds you of unread messages is like an instruction, a suggestion that you can't help but start looking at it, so that the original time for reading is wasted in meaningless screen flushing, the constant sound of notifications makes it impossible to concentrate on writing something. The whole life is ruined ".

I believe many people are suffering from problems similar to the host. Yes, while the Internet provides us with convenience, it also destroys our originally peaceful and orderly life step by step, and also makes our thinking and habits become networked in a subtle way. The entire Internet world is like a well-built pipeline, and we are gradually turning into a product with thousands of people under the pipeline. If it is said that this is a crime committed by the Internet to humanity, now let's take a look at what crimes the Internet has committed:

1. The Internet fragmented information, making it impossible to read in depth.

After the popularity of personal computers, there was a popular saying that "the age of information explosion" is actually outdated. To be precise, it should be "the age of information surplus ". Information is everywhere in our lives in the form of fragmentation. Mobile phones, TVs, computers, and on-board TVs on public transport have all become channels for getting information. We get so much information, the method is so simple that our attention to information only stays on the surface. In addition to adding some talk resources, the truly accumulated value information is very low.

People no longer have the patience to read a novel, nor can they use in-depth news reports to form an objective and rational cognition of an event. As a result, people often give personal opinions without thinking clearly about the issue. irresponsible comments are everywhere on Weibo and other social media. This is also the reason why many people spread rumors without knowledge.

2. The Internet reduces people's information resolution capability and selectively ignores a large amount of valuable information.

Internet media excessively pursues click-through rates, and does not recommend sensational news to users, attracting users to click with exaggerated titles and curious content, ignoring the social value of news itself. As a result, people are less sensitive to news and less differentiated, and think that only enough "explosive" news can have value, in order to bring the headlines.

At the same time, those truly valuable news are selectively ignored by the media and the audience. As a result, people only know little about the major events in the world, but little about the information outside the headlines. Despite the fact that people talk about current affairs after a meal, the lack of knowledge is hard to conceal.

3. The Internet makes people lazy at thinking and blindly follow or copy others' concluding remarks.

We used to look up the dictionary when we encountered a word we didn't know. Now we can not only look up the dictionary through the network, but also find the usage and example sentences of this word. In the past, we encountered problems in real life. For example, how long should we cook eggs? We would choose to ask for help from elders. Now we only need to "Baidu", and the network is almost unknown, this leads to our dependence on it. When we encounter anything else, the first thing we think of is to seek help through the network.

We no longer try to solve the problem through our own thinking, but instead copy the methods and experiences summarized by others on the Internet. Although the experience of others is not necessarily suitable for you and occasionally does not work properly, the network is still the first choice for solving problems and is regarded as the authority. Over time, we have all become an animal that does not think.

In this regard, a typical example is the plagiarism of the paper. Neither graduation thesis nor academic papers can be copied. I'm afraid there aren't a few papers written by myself. Most of them come from the Internet.

4. The form and tonality of Internet products result in the audience being only interested in a certain type of information, while they are indifferent to other things.

Not long ago, when an earthquake occurred in ludian, Yunnan Province, some people from the media wrote an article saying that almost no one in the circle of friends was discussing related topics. He analyzed the reasons for this situation, and come to the conclusion that "we may not be as fond of our fellow citizens as we think. I have different opinions on this matter.

Different Internet products have different tonality, which leads to different user habits on different platforms. Taking Weibo as an example, many Weibo users are more concerned about major social events such as forced demolition, and express their views on this. Some netizens once ridiculed it. Every day, Weibo has the feeling that the Emperor has graded the playing chapter, after a long period of continuous reinforcement, this kind of cognition will be counterproductive to users' thinking and behavior, leading to Weibo becoming a gathering place of public opinion and opinions.

Again, most of your friends come from around you, and you are more concerned about the nuances of your life. Most people in the circle of friends are posting their own life trends, such as what food they eat today and what fun places they go. Public events outside of itself are rarely concerned. This phenomenon is not formed in a day or two, but determined by the product form and inherent tonality. Therefore, it is not surprising that no one has talked about the ludian earthquake.

It is worth worrying that Weibo users are only interested in public events, but are indifferent to subtle life. However, users are only interested in subtle life and are indifferent to public events. To a certain extent, the tonality of Internet products shapes users' ways of thinking and behavior, and even their moral consciousness.

5. The Internet occupies people's scattered time, so they have no time to enjoy the fun of life and real social networking, and alienate friends and friends.

The Internet occupies almost all people's scattered time, including the time on the way to and from work, the time on the toilet, the time for friends and friends to wait for meals, which has seriously affected real-world interpersonal relationships and serious situations, almost the Internet has become the whole of amateur life, while real life has been placed in an irrelevant position.

The freshness and excitement brought by the Internet gradually make people lose their original interests in real life and their appreciation for beautiful things, you cannot enjoy the beauty of your life or the pleasure of social networking. In turn, the relationship between friends and friends in the real world is alienated.

Fortunately, this situation has been paid attention to. I heard that many people need to confiscate their cell phones before dinner, so as to prevent them from sitting together and playing with their cell phones. There are also some public places with eye-catching slogans: There is no wifi, please talk to people around you.

6. The Internet encourages people to speculate and attracts others' attention.

The Internet has created Sister Furong, Fengjie and other Internet celebrities. None of these red guys have used the method of winning favor in a short time to attract others' attention and become a model of "One night burst of red. Internet users lack a sense of presence in the online world. If they want to attract the attention of others, they will inevitably follow these red man's practices and take extreme actions in words and deeds.

More importantly, after these so-called Internet celebrities become the focal point of attention, most people have achieved commercial success. For example, Sister Furong has started her own company, feng Jie went to the United States. This encourages speculation and tries to copy their routes to attract others' attention.

Under the Internet, public morality has dropped to the lowest point in history.

7. Internet over-exaggerated industry value, leading to a large number of people joining the Internet industry rather than industry.

Indeed, today, all industries are inseparable from the Internet, but not all industries must follow the practices of the Internet industry. When "Internet thinking" is the most popular, even those who sell coolies claim that they are using Internet thinking to start a business. The real value of the Internet is far from as great as the leader in this industry.

A slightly rational person should regard the internet as a tool to solve problems, rather than regard the Internet itself as a gold pool for making fortune, the real value of the Internet should be embodied in the technology and modernization of actual industries such as agriculture and manufacturing, rather than in the Internet industry itself.

Wu Xiaobo, a financial writer, said that "All enterprises will be networked in the future", which does not mean that all enterprises will become Internet enterprises, but in the future, all enterprises will use the internet tool to better realize their own value. Therefore, it is time for Internet practitioners to drop down. I hope more people will join the industry, where Internet thinking can be used.

Eric hover, a philosopher of the American dock workers, believes that the reason why the happiness index of modern people is declining lies in the decline of traditional handicrafts, because the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction brought by handicrafts are real, the joy of seeing a handicraft done by your own hand is beyond words. Looking back at the virtual Internet world, although the Internet is omnipotent in some fields, the sense of accomplishment gained through the Internet is far from reaching the handicraft industry.

Those who indulge in the online world cannot extricate themselves, come back to real life, find the beauty that has been lost by us, and do not blindly follow the guidance of the network, don't let the Internet ruin our lives.
