The web doesn't make reading disappear, but it makes it easier to read across borders, but only if you have the right way to read. Author: Chen Qingchun Amazon's Kindle ebook, Apple ipad and other portable devices are making reading ubiquitous. This is the advantage of the network, but also the Chinese Taiwan book publisher Hao in the book "Yue Reader" to express the view.  However, Hao is emphasizing that the Internet makes it easier to read across borders, focus on how to "read" in the network era, how to face the vast number of network information will not be confused thinking, become a vague knowledge structure, do not know how to enjoy reading fun "The third category of illiterate." The advent of the era on the internet, Anderson in the long Tail theory (that long tail:why the Future of Business is Selling Pager for more) in the great praise: on the internet of all kinds of goods,  Infinite shelf space makes "long tail" diversification of product sales possible. But Andrew Kein in the "Netizens Carnival" (the Cult of the Amateur:how today´s Internet is killing us Culture) to draw attention to the negative effects of the network: Network democracy requires a painful price, "readers and The blurring of the boundaries between author, fact and fiction, invention and reality makes it difficult to recognize the objective reality. "Hao's attitude is moderate and rational," the emergence and development of the network, to each of the knowledge structure of the cutting and fragmentation of the people, have opened two possible. "The network may let the knowledge dense forest depth and the breadth all explode 10 times times, the hundredfold, oneself but suffers from the impossible to use; the network may be the biggest opening spell that has been imagined since Ali Baba expanded."  It depends on how you use the Web and how to read it. Turning the human history, we always desperately want to make the reading of the monitor easier. Words and pictures, early carved in stone, animal crustaceans, bamboo, and later written on the leather, paper, and then printed, bound into a book, until now the electronic and digital form, can be used in portable computers, PDAs and mobile phones and other media display, all of this is for the convenience of reading.  We have always hoped that the ability and opportunity of reading can benefit more and more people. Of course, things have another side, the more convenient reading, the more we do not want to read. Human nature is so, never so. As early as the Song Dynasty, Su Dongpo in the "Li's Mountain House collection" In the past, the book is not easy to get the times, we are willing to go all the time to find a book that they want to read, but when the books enrich, but instead began to love reading, only indulge in "swim Talk without Root" (gossip). To the Qing Dynasty, books published more, Yuan Mei wrote "Huang Borrow books", sigh more than Su Dongpo's era of another layer. Now when the networkGeneration, reading is everywhere, people face the unprecedented risk of deviation from reading.  Network with a large number of audio and video files, impact the reading of text. Hao reminds you to rethink the meaning of words and books, "The way humans perceive the world, first with observation, then by image, body expression, music, speech, then develop words." Before the word appeared, human ' reading ' was not non-existent--only in sound, image, smell, touch, even ideas. "The network actually allows many sensory functions in our genes to be revived and revived."  Hao believes that the network provides a new cognitive way, so that the human return to the full view of the cognitive experience. In the face of the network, we need to worry, not so much whether these developments will undermine the reading of words and books, rather how to make text and books to read, with these ancient and emerging multimedia reading form, together to create a new role, that is, the role of the Cross-border. "As the Web interacts with books to create an endless jungle, only those who know how to transcend the boundaries can enjoy all the richness in the vast world, or it will be limited to the idea and the habit, only overwhelmed, and that ' deep in abundance, but gradually starve to death ' of the primitive people no different. "This is a time of crossing the line." Human and animal organs are crossing the border, space exploration and travel are crossing the line, and all dreams are crossing the line. And the cause of the crossing is the crossing of knowledge and reading. "Hao that the internet makes it possible to cross the border between knowledge and reading, so that's the basis of everything and the meaning of the web, and the key is how to read it."  Go along this line to see "Yue Reader", will discover it in the network age real value. More readers such as He Licheng Hu Shi said: "To learn to like the pyramid, to be able to high." "Hao is very respected, he felt that reading should be like learning, profound, across the border, but the first problem to be solved is: how do we find that belongs to their own" expertise "as the center. For an ordinary reader, if you do not use the word "learning", at least how to first find your own "special reading interest" as the center. "Only when this problem is solved can the pyramid theory of reading be used for us." "But unfortunately, the education system in China has left us unable to find such a centre." An ideal process is: primary schools, the establishment of adequate literacy and the basic ability to read themselves; Middle School, open and extensive reading exploration, and found in the direction of their own interest, decided to enter the university to study the relevant departments; University, majoring in the department is to build a unique path,  Elective and audit to establish an indirect but complementary to the broad, after the University of Education, or after the social self-study education, it has been opened a good way to continue to open up, but also random encounters with some unexpected flowers and plants, another alternative. China's education system is "a lifelong test", from elementary school to secondary schools do not have the opportunity to read widely, at random, to the university after more lax, more without direction. Hao in the first part of the book.The "school brings some confusion". However, he added, "Nothing but love, like reading, makes us feel that the beginning of the belated can be so good."  So, in the second part of the book, he started teaching us what we didn't teach in school, and how to deal with this late reading. Hao that reading can, and should, meet a variety of needs, there is the need for survival reading, the need to read the needs of the reading, tool requirements of reading and leisure needs of reading. He compares them to "staple food", "food", "fruits and vegetables" and "sweets" in the diet, as the health of the body requires a "balanced diet", and mental health also needs "reading balance". After you find the reading topic that you are interested in, then the four kinds of "diet" with the view, you can form your own special reading interest, you can take it as a center, or Hu Shih called "expertise."  From this special reading interest, the reading of the pyramid theory to gradually make the force. Many of the other reading techniques mentioned in this book are also worth pondering, for example, in the fifth part of how to make reading time installment, how to create a comfortable reading environment, how to use bookstores, libraries, as well as on the bookshelf and the secret books, in the sixth part also introduced Zhuge Liang, Tao Yuanming, Zhu Xi, Su Dongpo is how to read, How to take notes and so on.  The internet is certainly an important tool, but all reading techniques are designed to build our "reading Pyramid". "Once you have mastered the reading method, you can try to step forward and take the challenge to the next step." "One step forward is to take a step in the field of reading that you are interested in, in the direction you feel is deep and unwilling to touch." The next step is to step in the area of interest that was previously thought to be a bit distant.  "Pyramid" gradually constituted, oneself also really became "Yue Reader". The process and method of reading pyramid construction are equally applicable to the network age, and the network is just a form of existence of vast books. In part V of this book, the Web is also used as a reading tool, like a library and a bookstore. Web Bookstore Search engines sometimes play a magical role. But when you can't search through some keywords to find the book you want, a bookstore clerk who is competent and familiar with books can help you locate the book you want. This is the net bookstore and the real bookstore complementary relationship.  But to be clear, the web is just a tool, and reading is something on top of it, even a realm. Hao to Plato's "Will drink chapter" in the Love Realm for inspiration, and eventually the reading process drew seven steps: The first way, what you care about, think about, is how to make yourself better, so you will look for health, work, leisure and other topics to read; Therefore, you will look for love, psychology, home and other topics to read; Third: You begin to learn to appreciate all the wonderful abstract, so you will seek philosophy, science, architecture, music and other topics to read; Fourth, you start to learnAppreciate the beauty of the social system, so you start reading politics, social and other topics; On the fifth, you begin to learn to appreciate the good things that are different from your own, and then you will see biographies of people who are maverick, not for the attention of the community (or even), and the sixth, you begin to learn to experience the beauty of multiple knowledge agitation,  At least you can delve into another area of knowledge, and in the seventh, you learn to appreciate the beauty of the wisdom of the universe, which is detached from all the beauty of reading, learning, and knowledge. When you truly become a veritable "Yue reader", the network is no longer a departure from the scourge of reading. Anytime, anywhere, you will have the interest of reading, even in a crappy bookstore, you can imagine "a leather chair, a side table, a standing lamp" serene and comfortable.
