Over the past few years I've had an uncomfortable sense that someone, or something, has been tinkering with my brain, remapping the neural circuitry, reprogramming the memory. My mind isn't going—so far as I can tell—but it's changing. I'm not thinking the way I used to think. I can feel it most strongly when I'm reading. Immersing myself in a book or a lengthy article used to be easy. My mind would get caught up in the narrative or the turns of the argument, and I'd spend hours strolling through long stretches of prose. That's rarely the case anymore. Now my concentration often starts to drift after two or three pages. I get fidgety, lose the thread, begin looking for something else to do. I feel as if I'm always dragging my wayward brain back to the text. The deep reading that used to come naturally has become a struggle.

最近围绕“技术与文化”这一专题在搜集材料，看到这篇文章，收藏了。总体上看，这是网络时代信息海量时代对田园牧歌式阅读方式的怀旧。我自己的感觉没那么严重，拜十年出版工作所赐，我看书一直比较快，脑子早就是数据处理器了，从来不会看2-3页就走神。现在看书仍然不少，但没价值的书，大概翻翻也就罢了，经典的书，要放在床头慢读细读。
