商品描述

The modern human animal spends upwards of 11 hours out of every 24 in a state of constant consumption. Not eating, but gorging on information ceaselessly spewed from the screens and speakers we hold dear. Just as we have grown morbidly obese on sugar, fat, and flour—so, too, have we become gluttons for texts, instant messages, emails, RSS feeds, downloads, videos, status updates, and tweets.

We're all battling a storm of distractions, buffeted with notifications and tempted by tasty tidbits of information. And just as too much junk food can lead to obesity, too much junk information can lead to cluelessness. The Information Diet shows you how to thrive in this information glut—what to look for, what to avoid, and how to be selective. In the process, author Clay Johnson explains the role information has played throughout history, and why following his prescribed diet is essential for everyone who strives to be smart, productive, and sane.

In The Information Diet, you will:

  • Discover why eminent scholars are worried about our state of attention and general intelligence
  • Examine how today’s media—Big Info—give us exactly what we want: content that confirms our beliefs
  • Learn to take steps to develop data literacy, attention fitness, and a healthy sense of humor
  • Become engaged in the economics of information by learning how to reward good information providers
  • Just like a normal, healthy food diet, The Information Diet is not about consuming less—it’s about finding a healthy balance that works for you

    商品描述(中文翻譯)

    現代人類每天有超過11個小時處於持續消費的狀態。我們不是在吃東西,而是在無休止地從我們所珍愛的屏幕和揚聲器中狼吞虎嚥地吸收信息。就像我們因為食用糖、脂肪和麵粉而變得病態肥胖一樣,我們也變成了對文字、即時消息、電子郵件、RSS訂閱、下載、視頻、狀態更新和推文等信息貪得無厭的人。

    我們都在與各種干擾作戰,被通知所困擾,並被美味的信息碎片所誘惑。就像吃太多垃圾食品會導致肥胖一樣,吸收太多垃圾信息會導致無知。《信息飲食》向您展示如何在這個信息過剩的時代中茁壯成長——該注意什麼,該避免什麼,以及如何選擇。在此過程中,作者克萊·約翰遜解釋了信息在歷史上的作用,以及為什麼遵循他所提出的飲食方案對於每個努力變得聰明、高效和理智的人來說都是必不可少的。

    在《信息飲食》中,您將會:
    - 發現為什麼著名學者對我們的注意力和智力狀態感到擔憂
    - 檢視當今媒體——大型信息——如何給予我們我們想要的內容:確認我們信念的內容
    - 學習採取措施培養數據素養、注意力健康和健康的幽默感
    - 通過學習如何獎勵優質信息提供者,參與信息經濟
    - 就像正常健康的飲食一樣,《信息飲食》不是關於減少消耗——而是找到適合自己的健康平衡。
