——? The golden sentence in this book? ——
1. The Internet itself is a huge complex of museums, libraries and universities, covering everything from short status updates to heavy classic texts. The time you waste online, every moment you spend contributes to it, and even your clicks, likes and "likes" will be recorded.
People say that technology has opened the distance between people, but we find the opposite: our electronic devices have enhanced our physical and emotional experiences.
We read and write more than in the past 30 years, but the way of reading and writing is different from the past.
4. We skim, analyze, mark, forward and send the language in the group. These methods have not been recognized as literature, but it is immature for a large number of authors to use raw materials from the Internet to construct their works. This new reading and writing content has become a part of literature.
People tend to pick up their previous media knowledge and throw it into a new media.
——? Core content? ——
First, in the Internet age, have we really become electronic zombies?
Although our life is inseparable from the network and signals, it is not as bad as experts say. Let's have a look. What do people think is the main reason why the network wastes time?
There is a saying that in the internet age, a person who obtains information through screen reading does not actually mean reading, let alone replacing reading. Moreover, browsing quickly and switching constantly on the Internet will reduce the ability of deep thinking. Because in the era of electronic screen, we have lost the ability to concentrate and become easily distracted and unable to concentrate. In the author's opinion, this view is too absolute. From beginning to end, the content has not changed, but the media and communication methods have changed. How to acquire knowledge and think deeply depends on ourselves, not the media.
There is also a saying that a person who often goes online can easily become unsociable, and after a long time, he may even lose the ability to communicate with others. The emergence of the Internet enables people to communicate with each other in a convenient and quick way beyond time and space, in addition to direct conversation, letters and telephone calls. Acquaintances can communicate by chatting online, sending messages or emails, sending e-cards to each other on holidays, and strangers can also talk, talk and discuss their lives through the above forms. Everyone can find the friends they want to make according to their own wishes and needs. It can be seen that the network has opened up people's communication fields and enhanced their social skills.
Second, how to collect memories and find inspiration through the browser?
Goldsmith said that we can learn about ourselves by browsing the records. One day, he was looking for information for an article he had written for several weeks, but when he looked back at the search records, he found all kinds of anger, desire and curiosity listed in front of me. In addition, look at our social networks and chat records. If we combine our online likes, speeches, comments and short messages, we can almost reshape ourselves online in a unique way.
From another perspective, we can also regard browsing the web as another kind of unconscious automatic writing. The network is to create a memory bank by taking pictures of our memories in the form of photos, videos and constantly updated States. The details are far from what our brains can recall.
Filing documents is our clue to solve this mystery. When filing documents and sorting out data, you can refer to the following methods:
The first step is to read all kinds of news, WeChat official account articles and fragmented information.
The second step, if you feel good, save it in your impression notes or cloud notes.
The third step is to file the notes, that is, put them in a specific folder and modify the title.
The fourth step is to summarize and extract the core information.
Third, how to use the word 140 well in literary creation in the network age?
First of all, the content should be differentiated according to readers' preferences. It can be divided into practical content, mainly to let consumers increase their knowledge after seeing the content; There is also emotional content, which can evoke relevant memories and cause * * *; The third is fun. After reading this article, I can't help forwarding and sharing. The fourth is to arouse fear and let people call and forward independently.
Secondly, we should adhere to the principle that less is more and increase the information density as much as possible. How much can 140 be expressed? We should believe in the iceberg principle, just like dialogue. Only 10% is spoken, and 90% is left by dialogue. The so-called less is more, that is, to express as much content as possible within the scope of 140 words.
Finally, make sure the content is story-telling. Learning to tell stories is a skill that every writer must learn. The story is attractive because it arouses people's curiosity and gossip nature.
