Mobile Internet era calls for deep reading
2022-05-25
Recently, the 2022 national focus insight report was released, which mentioned that the continuous focus time of contemporary people has decreased from 12 seconds in 2000 to 8 seconds now, which has aroused attention and Discussion on reading focus. With the development of mobile Internet, mobile phones take up a lot of our time and energy. People get information through official account, short video, message push and other means, work through social software and office software, settle down through shopping software and payment software, and change their attention between different interfaces. Facing the mobile screen, we consume energy in continuous shallow reading, which makes our attention fragmented day by day. Over time, the ability to focus on thinking and self reflection is also slowly wearing away, and the continuous focus seems to become a "scarce product". Indeed, as a way to obtain information and knowledge, shallow reading is very helpful to solve the small problems encountered in work and life, especially in acquiring general knowledge, mastering specific skills and facilitating daily life. But at the same time, we should also pay attention to avoid drowning our attention and time in the vast sea of information. To be the master of time is to allocate your attention reasonably and spare more time for in-depth reading, focused thinking and personal examination. As a personal behavior, deep reading is less disturbed by the outside world. In this engaged and selfless reading state, people can temporarily withdraw from the pressure of life, shift their attention from the external world to the internal world, and absorb nutrients actively, continuously and attentively. In this process, people become their own masters and master the initiative of self-development. In the state of "mind and object Tour", they enrich themselves, delight themselves and improve themselves, so as to realize the shaping and perfection of personality. In the author's opinion, deep reading doesn't have to care too much about the results, or how much time it takes to read several classic works. It is more a kind of spiritual enjoyment. Kawabata Yasunari has a sentence in the snow country: "loneliness dispels sadness and contains a kind of bold and unrestrained will." To some extent, reading is lonely, which allows us to put aside the wonderful outside world and focus on inner peace; But it is also intense, which can always stir our nerves and obtain intellectual insight or aesthetic sublimation. Chen Xiaoming said in his book watching the remaining literariness: "reading great works must be the mutual collision of great minds, or at least the mutual exchange of passion." The world is very big, but when reading deeply, only "I" and books are talking, without the troubles encountered in life. Maybe some mediocre us can also ask those great souls in this process and keep improving. In today's fast-paced life, one of the main reasons that hinder us from deep reading is time. Even if there is only fragmented time, as long as we can adhere to deep reading and form habits with the spirit of daily arch, we can feel the resonance of emotion and thought from the text and gain the insight of life and knowledge. In fact, shallow reading and deep reading go hand in hand and promote each other. I hope we can all spare so many nights, or weekend afternoons, put down our mobile phones, open our books, be a free reader and enjoy the beauty of "reading without feeling the depth of spring".
