Alex Pang’s amusing new book The Distraction Addiction addresses those of us who feel panic without a cellphone or computer. And that, he claims, is pretty much all of us. When we’re not online, where we spend four months annually, we’re engaged in the stressful work of trying to get online.
The Distraction Addiction is not framed as a self-help book. It’s a thoughtful examination of the dangers of our computing overdose and a historical overview of how technological advances change consciousness. A "professional futurist" , Pang urges an approach which he calls "contemplative (沉思的) computing. " He asks that you pay full attention to " how your mind and body interact with computers and how your attention and creativity are influenced by technology. "
Pang’s first job is to free you from the common misconception that doing two things at once allows you to get more done. What is commonly called multitasking is, in fact, switch-tasking, and its harmful effects on productivity are well documented. Pang doesn’t advocate returning to a pre-Internet world. Instead, he asks you to " take a more ecological (生态的)view of your relationships with technologies and look for ways devices or media may be making specific tasks easier or faster but at the same time making your work and life harder. "
The Distraction Addiction is particularly fascinating on how technologies have changed certain fields of labor—often for the worse. For architects, computer-aided design has become essential but in some ways has cheapened the design process. As one architect puts it, " Architecture is first and foremost about thinking... and drawing is a more productive way of thinking" than computer-aided design. Somewhat less amusing are Pang’s solutions for kicking the Internet habit. He recommends the usual behavior-modification approaches, familiar to anyone who has completed a quit-smoking program. Keep logs to study your online profile and decide what you can knock out, download a program like Freedom that locks you out of your browser, or take a " digital Sabbath (安息日)" . "Unless you’re a reporter or emergency-department doctor, you’ll discover that your world doesn’t fall apart when you go offline. " [br] What is the common view on multitasking?
选项
A、It enables people to work more efficiently.
B、It is in a way quite similar to switch-tasking.
C、It makes people’s work and life even harder.
D、It distracts people’s attention from useful work.
答案
A
解析
根据该段第一句可知,常见的错误认识是“同时做两件事效率更高”。题干中的multitasking指的是原文中的doing two things at once。而A中的work more efficiently与原文中的get more done意思相近,即大家普遍认为多任务处理会使工作更有效,故答案为A。
