30、ding this very excellent article.I stopped at least half a dozen times to cheek my email.C.Theres something different about this technology: it is both invasive and persuasive. but whos at fault for its overuse？ To find solutions, its important to understand what were dealing with.There are four par
31、ties conspiring to keep you connected the tech, your boss, your friends and you.D.The technologies themselves and their makers, are the easiest suspects to blame for our diminishing attention spans. Nicholas Carr,author of The Shallows： what the internet is doing Our brains, wrote, The net is design
32、ed to be an interruption system, a machine geared to dividing attention.E.Online services like Facebook, twitter and the like, are called out of manipula-tion-making，products so good that people cant stop using them. after studying these products for several years, I wrote a book about how they do i
33、t. I learned it all starts with the business model. since these services rely on advertising revenue, The more frequently you use money they make.Its no winder these companies employ teams of people focused on engineering their services to be as engaging as possible. these products arent habit-formi
34、ng by chance; its by design. they have an incentive to keep us hooked.F.However, as good as these services are, there are simple steps we can take to keep them at bay.For example, we can change how often we receive the distracting notifications that trigger our urge to check.According to adam marchi

39、ne says a thing.I.Now imagine the same dinner,but instead of checking their phone, the person belches(打嗝）-loudly.Everyone notices. unless the meal takes place in a beer house, this is considered bad manners. The impolite act violates the basic rules of etiquette. one has to wonder why dont we apply
40、the same social norms to checking phones during meals, meetings and conversations as we do to other antisocial behaviors somehow, we accept it and say nothing when someone offends.J.The reality is taking ones phone out at the wrong time is worse than belching because, unlike other minor offense, che
41、cking tech is contagious. once one person looks at their phone,other people feel compelled to do the same, starting a chain reaction. the more people are on their phones, the fewer people are talking until finally you are the only one left not reading email or checking twitter. from a societal persp
42、ective, phone checking is less like belching in public and more like another bad habit. our phones are like cigarettes-something to do when were bored or when our fingers need something to toy with seeing others enjoy a smoke,or sneak a quick glance, is too tempting to resist and soon everyone is do

47、d less to do with new-age.technology and more to do with old-fashioned procrastination(拖延）.M.its easy to blame technology for being so distracting, but distraction is nothing new. Aristotle and Socrates dehated nature of “akrasia”-our tendency to do things agninst our interests. If were honest with
