拓寬知識面的能力
The convenience of nearly instantaneous information can easily become a crutch. If we’re not knowledgeable about certain subjects such as physics, politics, or music we know we can look it up online. That’s not necessarily a negative. What’s problematic is that we often look up and recite the information, but don’t actually absorb it. It may seem daunting, but this is arguably the easiest skill to revitalize. Whenever you reference an unfamiliar subject take time to actually learn the information.
人們幾乎都很容易依賴瞬時信息。如果我們不了解某些學科如物理、政治、或音樂,我們都知道可以在網上查。這并不一定是負面的做法。問題在于我們經常查找信息并背誦信息,但實際上卻并不吸收信息。這點似乎令人生畏,但可以說是恢復了一種最簡單的技能。每當你引用一門自己并不是很熟悉的學科知識,實際上是在花時間學習這門學科的信息。
