年9月高级口译听力SD原文  

We already live in an over-municated world that will only bee more so in the next tech era. We’ve developed technology that gets us so much information that we’ve got cell phones ringing every second. We’ve got puters and laptops. We’ve got personal anizers. And we’re just being bombarded with munication and every advancing technology seems to create more and more munications at us. We are thought of over-whelmed by the information flow.
Research suggests that all the multi-tasking may actually make our brains work better and faster
producing a world-wide increase in IQ up to 20 points and more in recent decades. Is there any real benefit in all these mental gymnastics we now have to go through? We are not being a race of global idiots
but many do think certain skills are enhanced and certain are not. You know the ability to make fast decisions
to answer a dozen emails in 5 minutes or to fill out maybe big aptitude text. That’s enhanced.
But when someone is out there with his kids laying in his little league
or something like that
he’s got his cell phone in his pocket
he is always wondering: “Jeez
did I get a voicemail?” This might have negative effects on our own brains patterns. Creativity is something that happens slowly. It happens when your brain is just noodling around
just playing. When it puts together ideas which you haven’t thought of
or maybe you have time to read a book. You are a business person but you have time to read a book about history or about a philosopher and something that happened long ago
or something or some ideas
some default of long ago.
Actually
it might occur to you that you can think of your own business in that way. And so if this mixture of unrelated ideas that feeds your productivity
feeds your creativity
and if your mind is disciplined to answer every email
then you don’t have time for that playful noodling
you don’t have time for those unexpected conjunctions. So I think maybe we are getting smarter in some senses
but over munication is a threat to our creativity and to our reflection.
