差异之一，举个例子：我们注意力集中的时间开始变得越来越短。就拿我自己来说，现在我已经做不到把一场电影完整地看完了，这也可以解释为什么我已经很久很久没有去过电影院了……当然这不是我要说的重点。重点是我已经无法做到集中精力处理手头的一个单项任务。这并不是说我是个能够同时处理多项任务的好手，也不是因为我很擅长于此，而是因为我手头有太多的事情需要关注了，家、工作、学校……各种各样的事务。但这也不是我想表达的主要意思。PartIIIBroadenYourViewPassageADevelopYourUnderstanding“TechAddiction”mayFragmentYourConcentrationThefactthatIcan’tconcentrateononesingletaskforalongenoughperiod,isasourceforworry.AndI’mnottheonlyonewiththeproblem.Andthatisthepoint.Weareturningintodigitalgoldfish!Patienceisavirtue,onethatthisgenerationfindshardtopursue.Andcanyoublameus?Wereadnewsallaroundtheclock,notonlyonafinitebatchofpapersthatcontainsnewsthathappened24hoursago.True,thosearticlescontainmoredetailswhichareconfirmedandcheckedthroughbutwhenitcomestogettingthenewsfirst,it’sTwitterforus.Straightfromthehorses’mouth,140characters,andeasytospreadandshare.Translation令人相当焦虑的是，我现在无法做到在一项任务上长时间地集中精神，而且为此烦恼的不只是我一个人。这才是我想表达的重点。我们大家渐渐地变成了电子金鱼！（据说金鱼的注意力持续时间只有几秒钟。）耐心是一种美德，而我们这一代人却很难企及。但是能怪我们吗？我们一天到晚都在获取新闻信息，这些信息不仅仅是来源于数量有限的一捆捆的报纸，它们通常报道的是24小时前发生的新闻事件。报纸确实含有更多经过核实的新闻细节，但要说第一时间的新闻资讯，那我们肯定是选择Twitter这样的网络媒体：第一手的信息，140字符的篇幅，传播迅速，分享便捷。PartIIIBroadenYourViewPassageADevelopYourUnderstanding“TechAddiction”mayFragmentYourConcentrationDespitethegloomyoutlookpaintedinthisarticle,I’msurethatthetechnologythatkeepsusconnectedtotheInternethasdonemuchgoodforourlives.However,dorememberwhoisincontrolandactlikeit.Whenyourdigitaldevicesaretakinguptoomuchofyourlife,youknowit’stimetoswitchitoffandenjoylifeunplugged.Translation尽管本文中描绘的前景稍显灰暗，但我敢肯定把我们与互联网连接的技术给咱们的生活带来了很多福祉。但我们需谨记并且要做到让自己成为科技的掌舵人。当你发现电子产品已经在你生活中占据了过多的空间，就知道这时候你该关上电源，享受“不插电”的生活了。PartIIIBroadenYourViewPassageADevelopYourUnderstanding1.ElectronicdevicesconnectustothefollowingEXCEPT__________.
