200 essays on the troubles caused by the flood of information

There is a lot of information and troubles

I once saw a piece of news from the "Yangtze Evening News" in the "Taizhou Business Daily": At the beginning of the new semester, many parents of first-year primary school students will Being included in the class QQ group has become a new place for parents to understand their children's performance and communicate with teachers. However, during the interview, the reporter also encountered complaints from some parents: "I can't stand it! The group of new students' parents is still scrolling in the middle of the night" and "I receive 5,000 group chat messages every day. I will collapse even if I don't read it!"

I think the word "collapse" in the message is not an exaggeration at all. Indeed, people who work normally every day have no time to take care of these 5,000 messages!

The development of science and technology has made us live in an era of information overflow. Every day, there is endless information from the media, which is too much for us to handle. We passively accept information every day, for fear that we will be forgotten by the world. The popularization of smart phones has made communication more convenient, but it has also intensified the proliferation of information; short message junk is harassing people one after another, and all kinds of content are readily available. These complicated short messages are sent indiscriminately regardless of time or place, disturbing us but making us feel helpless.

Notices in our unit are all sent via the SMS platform. Most of the senders just click "Send All" for convenience, and they are basically "twins" - the same message is sent two or even three times in a row. Nowadays, the number of text messages we receive every day ranges from a dozen to dozens. Sometimes useful and important things are "drowned" in the flood of text messages. I remember one time I received a long text message from a certain department in the school. Before the first message was sent, there was a second message "continued". The first part said that the members of the grade-level quality management committee were meeting. I took it for granted before I read it. Thinking that "it's none of my business", I casually deleted the text message. In the fourth self-study class that afternoon, I took the initiative to go to the classroom to manage the self-study class. Five minutes after class, my cell phone rang. I didn’t want to answer it at first, but when I saw it was from the school-level leader in charge of the third grade of high school, I walked outside the classroom to answer it. Only then did I know that the grade level held a quality analysis meeting and asked me to rush to the conference room. So I told the students, "I'm going to the meeting and everyone should study hard on their own." I hurried to the conference room and was already 5 minutes late.

After this, I don’t dare to take text messages lightly anymore. But because the proliferation of text messages has made people restless, they feel inexplicably disgusted when they hear the text message reminder ringing. But I feel disgusted. If I don’t open it and read it, I can’t let it go. I’m always afraid of delaying the work that is completed within a time limit. The overflow of information increases our reading volume for no reason and wastes our time and energy: the Internet is often filled with all kinds of gossip, celebrity scandals, and nonsensical entertainment reports; on the mobile phone, we often "break in" funny, greetings, and consumption information. , the real estate market is open, shopping malls have discounts, news of winning prizes on mobile phones, and I have heard the serious "accusation" words of the staff of the "Provincial Public Security Department"... In WeChat Moments, entertainment, travel, "share links" "There are many kinds of information, good and bad. After opening WeChat, I deeply felt that WeChat would "hijack" my life, so I made myself basically "invisible" because I really couldn't spare the time to browse, reply, and comment on these WeChat messages. As of today, I still don’t know how to use the “Shake” and “Scan” functions of WeChat. Last time, each of our teachers was asked to download Zhejiang News WeChat. I asked the office director Xiao Lu to help download it. I don’t have time to use my mobile phone to read news online every day.

While I was writing the above text, my phone beeped five or six times. It was probably another text message. I really didn’t want to read it, but I was still forced to open it and see what happened: tsk tsk , there are those who applied via mobile phone in Huangyan, there were those who applied for the "Five Water Management Office" in the district, there were those who were notified by the school office to apply for the "Teacher Honorary Certificate of Thirty Years of Teaching in Zhejiang Province", there were those who were in different grade levels, there were those who were urged by the finance office to receive subsidy cards for needy students... ...Fortunately, I have always had low blood pressure when I was young, and now my blood pressure is not high even when I am older. If our "leader" sees so many text messages, his blood pressure will rise immediately, and his mind will become dizzy...

There is so much information and so many worries, so helpless and helpless!
