摘要
在这个人人低头的时代，我们的注意力被各种碎片化信息分散；而各种媒体也想方设法吸引我们的注意力，因为从某种角度而言，注意力是一种可以变现的稀缺资源。我们对此应当有所警醒，不然，我们的幸福生活就可能在分散的注意力中白白溜走。
How many other things are you doing right now while you＇re reading this piece？ Are you also checking your email, glancing at your Twitter feed, and updating your Facebook page？ What five years ago David Foster Wallace labelled ＂Total Noise＂-- ＂the seething static of every particular thing and experience, and one＇s total freedom of infinite choice about what to choose to attend to＂--is today just part of the texture of living on a planet that will, by next year, boast one mobile phone for each of its seven billion inhabitants. We are all amateur attention economists, hoarding and bartering our moments2--or watching them slip away down the cracks of a thousand YouTube clips.
