When Technology Meets Study
当科技遇上学习
Not long ago, finding an answer meant walking to the library and searching through heavy books. Today, a student can get an answer in three seconds on a phone.
不久以前,想找到一个答案意味着走到图书馆,在厚厚的书里翻找。今天,一个学生用手机三秒钟就能拿到答案。
This change has clear advantages. Information is no longer a privilege of a few. Anyone with a network connection can learn almost anything.
这种变化有明显的好处。信息不再是少数人的特权,只要有网络,任何人都几乎可以学到任何东西。
However, speed is not the same as understanding. Copying an answer is easy, but explaining why it is correct is hard.
然而,快并不等于真正理解。抄一个答案是容易的,但要解释它为什么正确却很难。
The real skill of our generation is not finding information. It is judging which information deserves to be trusted.
我们这一代人真正的本事不是找到信息,而是判断哪些信息值得被信任。
