Redaing: Hyper and deep attention: The Generational Divide in Cognitive Modes

According to this passage, the main topic are the hyper attention and deep attention. In the first paragrath, the aurthor says that ‘we need to become aware of the shift, understand its causes, and think careatively and innovatively about new ducational strategies appropriate to the coming changes.’ So we can find out that there are some relations between the hyper and deep attention and the things I mentioned before.

Deep attention, always be associated with tive things that are humanities, focusing on a single object for a long time, neglecting outside stimulations, favorring of a single information atream, and having a high tolerancefor a long focus periods. Hyper attention is described ny awithing focus rapidly among different tasks, reasearching a high level of stimulation, interesting in multipel information streams, and havng a low tolerance for boredom.

For many famous scientists, deep attention is the only or the best way for them to sove some very conplex problems. If people cannot focus on one thing with the whole attention, it is not easy to get some achievements. However, in recent years, more and more informations coming from any media appear in the frount of people, like a storm. Now, people have to face numerous informations of any areas, that attracts people. We cannot say it is negetive for all the people because it can broaden people’s horizen, that can help people to integrate into the current and modern society.

Well I think that because of the numerous informations, increasing people used to use the hyper attention. For the whole society, it may not be good. For example, more people have increasing informations to read and less of them would like to focus on one single thing, many difficult problems cannot be soled as soon as possible. In this case, less professional people would come in the society and our science is hard to be developed.

Don’t you think it is so awkard to be asked by someone whem you cannot answer they for the inforfmations you have seem before.
