“无所不能”的互联网，让我们变得越来越傻 在信息爆炸的互联网时代，是谁偷走了我们的“专注力”和“深度思考力”？为什么我们越来越依赖网络，什么都“百度一下”，这样的我们，用最近流行的词来说就是“脑残”！不信？请看看下面的这篇文章吧。 Is Google Making Us Stupid?（ Google把我们变傻了？） 互联网似无边无际的宇宙，包含了人类几千年的文明成果，并逐渐取代传统书籍，成为记载人类文明和智慧的新载体。而网络有哪些信誉好的足球投注网站引擎就如通向这个宇宙的“时空机器”——简单的关键字，轻轻的点击，便可载着你的思维到达任何你想去的地方。然而，并非所有人都欣然接受这一切，一些专家对网络的巨大影响力与有哪些信誉好的足球投注网站引擎的日益智能化表示出担忧，他们认为网络“偷”走了我们深度阅读和思考能力，进而会改变我们的思维方式，并最终让我们从拥有智慧的人类变为拥有智能的机器。那么这到底是杞人忧天？还是正在发生的事实？ Over the past few years I’ve had an uncomfortable sense that someone, or something, has been tinkering with my brain, remapping the neural circuitry, reprogramming the memory. My mind isn’t going, but it’s changing. I’m not thinking the way I used to think. I can feel it most strongly when I’m reading. Immersing myself in a book or a lengthy article used to be easy. My mind would get caught up in the narrative or the turns of the argument, and I’d spend hours strolling through long stretches of prose. That’s rarely the case anymore.

I think I know what’s going on. For more than a decade now, I’ve been spending a lot of time online, searching and surfing and sometimes adding to the great databases of the Internet. The Web has been a godsend to me as a writer. Research that once required days in the stacks or periodical rooms of libraries can now be done in minutes. A few Google searches, some quick clicks on hyperlinks, and I’ve got the telltale fact or pithy quote I was after. 谁“偷”走了我的专注
