物體成癮性

Compulsively checking social networks makes us less happy. I think we all understand this intuitively, the same way we understand that working out more and eating better is a good idea.

強迫檢查社交網絡使我們不那么開心。 我認為我們所有人都可以憑直覺來理解這一點，就像我們了解更多的鍛煉和飲食更好的主意一樣。

Doug Clinton, writing in a blog post for Loup Ventures, a venture capital firm, points out that there’s a market opportunity here:

道格·克林頓(Doug Clinton)在為風險投資公司Loup Ventures撰寫的博客文章中指出，這里存在市場機會：

People pay for diets and exercise because there are real physical, mental, and social benefits to being healthy and looking better. People will pay to disconnect from technology for two core benefits: happiness and prosperity. Happiness is most connected to the elimination of feelings of inferiority and anger. Prosperity happens through focused effort that avoids distraction.

人們為飲食和運動付費，因為健康和好看對身體，心理和社會都有好處。 人們將為與技術脫節而付費，這有兩個核心好處：幸福與繁榮。 幸福與消除自卑感和憤怒最相關。 繁榮是通過集中精力來避免分散注意力的。

The post divides potential solutions into two categories: software solutions, which block distractions, and experiential solutions, such as “one-on-one counseling for addiction and locations that ban smartphone use.”

該帖子將潛在解決方案分為兩類：阻止干擾的軟件解決方案和體驗解決方案，例如“成癮的一對一咨詢和禁止使用智能手機的位置”。

Think about this: our distractions are getting bad enough that a venture capital firm thinks there’s money in trying to help. You can expect to see all kinds of products on the market trying to solve this problem. That e-ink typewriter that was in the news last week is a good example—a $600 laptop where the main selling point is the lack of a web browser. It raised $310,000 in crowdfunding money.

想想看：我們的分心變得越來越糟糕，風險投資公司認為嘗試提供幫助是有錢的。 您可以期望看到市場上試圖解決此問題的各種產品。 上周新聞中提到的那臺電子墨水打字機就是一個很好的例子— 600美元的筆記本電腦，主要賣點是缺少網絡瀏覽器。 它籌集了31萬美元的眾籌資金。

There’s going to be a flood of software, hardware, books, and conventions about this in the years to come. As with diet and exercise, some of these tools will be useful and some of them won’t, but none of them will do you any good if you don’t make the mental decision to change. You need to make the choice to notice what you pay attention to, and then try to direct your attention to what matters. If you don’t make that decision no software or experience is going to help.

在未來的幾年中，將會有大量的軟件，硬件，書籍和約定。 與飲食和運動一樣，其中一些工具將是有用的，而某些工具則不會有用，但是如果您沒有做出改變的決定，這些工具都將無濟于事。 您需要做出選擇以注意到您所關注的內容，然后嘗試將您的注意力轉移到重要事項上。 如果您不做決定，那么沒有軟件或經驗將對您有所幫助。

Your attention is valuable. That’s why the smartest people of our generation are working in Silicon Valley, optimizing social networks for engagement, tweaking things so you’ll give up as much of your time as possible. If you want to give more time to your family, your friends, and your vocation, you need to actively decide to do that, or no tool is going to be helpful.

您的關注是寶貴的。 這就是為什么我們這一代最聰明的人在硅谷工作，優化社交網絡以提高參與度，進行調整，以便您可以浪費盡可能多的時間。 如果您想給家人，朋友和職業更多的時間，則需要積極地決定這樣做，否則沒有工具會有所幫助。
