KeywordsFragmentation and a dish-head to read deeply
I have to tell you the truth: I have no way to read.
It is not the inability to read or the resistance that arises from boredom. It has nothing to do with understanding and emotion, but as a physical disease, and it is powerless in its own part. I can't even read a single bar, I can't control my eyes, it seems it's twisting and turning to find a pause, otherwise I won't go on working. At the same time, after reading a text, suddenly the mind will be blank, and then those words and meaning suddenly disappeared. Because of this reason, also can not talk about understanding, not to form a general impression. In addition, what scares me more is that my attention simply couldn't stay on a page for long, it was always moving, like a mercury snake, drilling through the pages and countless ideas, trying to establish a connection between two unrelated points. And most of the time such efforts are futile, but the mind is wasted, so that people quickly feel tired of God.
I think this is the result of years of micro-blogging training. Microblogging requires a person to quickly jump between the various information, not on any one message to stay too much time. It also requires a person to consume as fast as possible a piece of information, bite it quickly, suck the juice out of it, and then spit it out. Finally, for those who have original content on Weibo, Weibo requires you to quickly sift through massive pieces of information and then connect to two fragments that have not been associated with each other, and then express that connection in a nifty way so that you can win the cheers and applause of the audience. You don't need to know why, just keep judging what's "what" and then combine a series of "What's". So even the simplest logic is discarded. I've been on Weibo long enough that the impact is heavy enough.
Reading, by contrast, is a completely different pattern. Deep reading requires you to stay focused on the page and concentrate on all your energies, because you have to think while you are reading. Need a person can continue to read tens of thousands of words, and then a little pause, organize thoughts, perfect the mind of the structure of the book, a little to form the overall impression. Especially for people with enough reading, he will continue to extract the associated books in the brain to analyze and contrast, reading a book is to read more than ten books at the same time. This process requires a high concentration of attention, because once the thought is interrupted, it is difficult to go back to the previous establishment of the reading atmosphere, completely from the original book of the mood of the exit.
The whole process of reading is long and continuous, accompanied by silence and contemplation. This is quite different from Weibo, which is the kind of teacher who says, you raise your hand and yell, "I know!" Rapid response. This is not just a matter of habit, it fundamentally changes the pattern of thinking. The form is content, the carrier decides the content, this manifests very obviously on the microblog. Microblogging is not a place to think, how to make the most appropriate response in the shortest possible time is the most important, the reaction is more than all, stand above all. Through the domestication of Weibo, a person is likely to have changed the physiological structure of the cerebral cortex. Making jokes about hot spots is a good proof that all the jokes don't provide fresh ideas, they're just synonyms, trying to repeat or define the same thing again and again, and then reinforce and magnify the thing. So, it is the salt that is given when thirsty.
In view of this, I announced today to suspend the update of Weibo, but also do not go to micro-bo diving, completely from this large environment disconnect. Try some restorative training, including reading and writing. I want to be able to continue thinking about the same thing by reading some long texts and restoring my past focus. In addition, use writing to express the process of thinking in a complete and continuous manner, to restore the ability to think rather than respond.
Stop to find that the world around you has changed a lot. Now that the world is basically a large display of information debris, complete information is rare. All you can know is the moment of the moment. People seem to be satisfied with this, listen to a singer 60 seconds of singing to decide his fate, in search engine returned results column in 5 seconds to decide who to open, on the iphone screen jumped out of the information prompted by the first 10 words to decide whether to open read the full text ... In Charlie Chaplin's film "Modern Times", Industrial workers repeat the same action more than 10 hours a day on the assembly line, and we are now facing information fragments seven days a week, 24 hours each, waiting to respond. In this new world, time beginning, only a transient moment. Event Woold, only a text message you face at this moment. I suddenly feel extreme horror and despair, I feel that there is no difference with an automatic machine: read a piece of information with the eye, using the picker to forward, reply, skip three choices. The process is endless. Even when you finally stop to rest, just a few minutes of boredom, continue to pick up the phone, the processing of information fragments as a pastime!
In the past, I've made a lot of decisions. Many of them appeared to be too impulsive and did not think carefully. But once the idea of a moratorium is raised, it is hard to expel it from the heart. Until I wrote down the notice, closed the page, suddenly in the bottom of my heart to create a relief of ease. At the moment, I still can't read a book coherently, but it seems that I have regained the ability to write more than 1500 words. Thankfully, I still have the ability to engage in this ancient form of self-expression. In the fragmented world, try to form a little "block". I hope they can become "noodles", or even "body", so I can also be bombarded with various pieces of information and kill, find a place to gasp.
