问题
我们生活在信息的海洋里。信息淹没了我们,向我们进攻并将我们击垮。它无处不在,无时不在。然而问题是:它对我们有什么影响?我们都知道信息革命的益处,但它有什么坏处?这种向我们狂轰滥炸的东西是否会影响我们的人性?这是很多人关心的问题。
如果过去30万年里大脑没有什么变化,那么现在同样也不会变。那里有线路,有荷尔蒙活动——什么都不缺。但是,大脑不断询问的问题是:闲着,下面我该做什么。因为我正好有线路处理。
但真的有信息过载吗?当大脑没有关闭时,它却说:我正在处理这东西,但……算了吧,伙计!信息过载这个比方暗示大脑就像是一件厨房电器。它有电流容量限制,一旦刺激过度便会燃烧,引起短路。信息过载的问题在于有多少信息是有意义的。
问题就在这儿。正如这些广告所显示的那样,我们饱受信息的狂轰滥炸,但却不知有多少可以被接收。我们生活在一个忙碌不安的时代,连汽车也不耐烦。我们四处奔走,干什么都没有时间。
然而,什么时候最深沉、最有意义、最触动灵魂呢?那通常是在信息量很低,环境非常幽静的地方。随着这些地方逐渐从我们的文化中消除,我们是要付出代价的。
信息到处弥漫着,我们足不出户,甚至不用起床,便可知晓天下事。那么图书馆还有什么用处?
图书馆是个储藏和传播智慧、交流思想、酝酿创造力的地方。但现在的情形是,许多人正被动地漫游在未加筛选的信息汪洋大海中,逐渐失去判断好坏的能力。长此以往,我们将来能否还会拥有一个延续的文明不得而知。
这就提出了一个问题:信息和知识到底有何区别?知识是经过既能推理又可记忆的人脑加工和丰富了的信息。而信息只是稍加处理的数据。而人们的冲动是把其益处用于消费者的社会去赚钱。信息本身没有坏处,它是美好的东西。我们必须意识到要把信息转化为知识。如果不进行转化,信息则毫无价值。
选项
答案
We are awash in an ocean of information, which assaults and overwhelms us. It is with us anywhere, anytime. The question is: what is it doing to us? We all know about the benefits of the information revolution, but what is the downside? Is there so much stuff being thrown at us that it affects our humanity? This is the concern of many people. The brain isn’t going to change now if it hasn’t changed over the past 300, 000 years. The circuits are in there, the hormonal activities are in, everything is there. But the question the brain keeps asking is: what’s the next thing I can do while I’ve got time? Because I’ve got the circuitry for it. But is there such a thing as overload? Where our brain doesn’t shut down, but it says: I’m processing this stuff, but...forget it, pal! The metaphor of overload suggests that the brain is like a kitchen appliance. It has a certain card capacity and that it might, if in fact over-stimulated, burn out, or in fact, trigger a circuit break-up. The question of overload is how much in fact is meaningful information. And there’s the rock. As these commercials show, we’re bombarded by so much information, no wonders if any of it registers. We live in a restless hurry-up age. Even the cars are impatient. We scurry about. Not enough time for anything. Yet, if you think about when you have your deepest, most meaningful, most spiritual moments, it’s generally in places where there’s very little information if any. Very quiet serene spaces. As we eliminate those spaces in our culture, we’re going to be paying the price. With the pervasive nature of information, one can find out almost everything in this universe at home, without getting out of bed practically, then what is the use of a library? A library is where wisdom is stored and disseminated, ideas exchanged and creativity brewed. But the thing is many are becoming passive surfers in a vast sea of unsorted information, losing the ability to judge what is good and what is bad. If we carry on like this, it remains a problem if we are ever going to have a continued civilization in the future. Here brings up the question: What on earth is the difference between information and knowledge? Obviously, knowledge is information that has been processed and enriched by a human mind that is almost always informed by both reason and memory. Information is just slightly processed data and the impulse is to just simply extend the benefits over consumer’s society to make money. There is nothing wrong with information itself, information is a wonderful thing. But we need to realize that we’re trying to convert information to knowledge and if we don’t make that conversion process, then the information isn’t worth anything at all.
