As the saying goes, “A wealth of information creates a poverty of attention”. Today, we can get easy access to various kinds of information, which conversely pour over us each day.
Information explosion forces us to take a positive approach to deal with it. Obviously, we have to put much time to filter out the information we actually need, which also enhances our ability to distinguish useful from useless. However, Information explosion makes us feel too tedious and even desperate to focus on finding and clarifying what we really need. As a consequence, many people are likely to forget what they intended to do before facing the overwhelming information. Without doubt, information explosion has become the first killer to distract our attention. Here I have some useful tips: firstly, make a list of what you really want before your searching. This will help you to refuse some appealing, yet irrelevant information. Secondly, find some trustful and professional sources or websites and then save and categorize them. In this case, you can easily leave some ads and useless information behind.
In brief, information explosion does provoke various problems, but only if we take a positive approach to it, can we avoid being distracted by the overwhelming information.
【译文】
正如俗话所说，大量的信息会引起人们的关注。如今我们可以能够容易地接触到各种各样的信息，而这些信息每天也都反过来对我们产生影响。
信息爆炸迫使我们采取积极的方法来处理它。显然，我们必须花很多时间来过滤我们实际上需要的信息，这也增强了我们区分有用和无用信息的能力。然而，信息爆炸让我们感觉太乏味，甚至绝望地专注于寻找和澄清我们真正需要的东西。因此，许多人在面对铺天盖地的信息之前，可能会忘记他们想要做的事情。毫无疑问，信息爆炸已经成为分散我们注意力的第一大杀手。这里我有一些有用的建议:首先，在你搜索之前，列出你真正想要的东西。这将帮助你拒绝一些吸引人的、但无关紧要的信息。第二，找到一些信任和专业的来源或网站，然后保存并分类。在这种情况下，你可以很容易地过滤掉一些广告和无用的信息。
简而言之，信息爆炸确实会引发各种问题，但只有当我们采取积极的态度时，我们才能避免被铺天盖地的信息所干扰。
答案解析：
第一步，审题：要求写一篇关于信息爆炸对集中注意力的影响。第二步，列出写作提纲，首先解释一下题干中出现的话，并展开延伸，然后说明影响，主要是消极影响，积极影响可以略占比重。最后，提出自己的解决办法，升华。
