Technology can mae us smarter or stupider, and we need to develop a set of principles to guide our everyday behavior and mae sure that tech is improving and not holding up our mental processes. One of the big questions being debated today is What ind of information do we need to have stored in our heads, and what ind can we leave “in the cloud” to be accessed as necessary?

An increasingly powerful group within education are supporting “digital literacy”. In their view, sills beat nowledge, developing “digital literacy” is more important than learning more content, and all facts are now Google-able and therefore unworthy of committing to memory. But even the most sophisticated digital literacy sills won’t help students and worers handle the world if they don’t have a broad base of nowledge about how the world actually operates. If you focus on the delivery mechanism and not the content, you’re doing ids a disservice (帮倒忙).

Indeed, evidence from cognitive (认知的) science challenges the idea that sills can eist independent of factual nowledge. Data from the last thirty years leads to a conclusion that is not scientifically challenging thining well requires nowing facts, and that’s true not only because you need something to thin about. The very processes that teachers care about most—critical thining processes—are closely intertwined (交织) with factual nowledge that is stored in long-term memory.

In other words, just because you can Google the date of Blac Tuesday doesn’t mean you understand why the Great Depression happened or how it compares to our recent economic decline. There is no doubt that the students of today, and the worers of tomorrow, will need to innovate, cooperate and evaluate. But such sills can’t be separated from the nowledge that gives rise to them. To innovate, you have to now what came before. To cooperate, you have to share nowledge with your partners. And to evaluate, you have to compare new information against nowledge you’ve already mastered.

So here’s a principle for thining in a digital world, in two parts. First, acquire a base of factual nowledge in any field in which you want to perform well. This base supplies the essential foundation for building sills, and it can’t be committed to a search engine.

Second, tae advantage of computers’ invariable memory, but also the brain’s elaborative memory. Computers are great when you want to store information that shouldn’t change. But brains are the superior choice when you want information to change, in interesting and useful ways to connect up with other facts and ideas, to acquire successive layers of meaning to immerse for a while in your accumulated nowledge and eperience and so produce a richer mental brew(混合物).

Johnson, a doctor in New Yor, says his reputation for being unpunctual can sometimes be attributed to a misunderstanding of opinion. “A friend will as me to come over, and he’ll say ‘come anytime from seven.’ But if I do turn up at eight or later, he will be annoyed.”

Possible version

Different countries adopt different tolerance towards one’s lateness. Actually, some people are late not deliberately but because they misunderstand others’ opinions or pay too much attention to details.

As we all now, frequent lateness will have negative effects on one’s daily life. On the one hand, unpunctual people tend to leave a bad impression on those who have made the appointment
