We have become a news addicted society.
我們已經成為社會消息控了。
Doubt it? How many times did you read the news so far today?
不相信?今天到目前為止，你閱讀過多少次新聞呢?
How many more times will you check it before bedtime? If you turn on the TV or check your favorite news website, chances are that there will be a banner that says “BREAKING NEWS.” Unfortunately, (or fortunately?) it is usually just some trivial event or topic that you could care less about. So, how much of your time do you spend reading the news?
你在上床前又查看了多少次呢?你打開電視，或瀏覽你最喜愛的新聞網站，就很有可能看見一個標語寫著“爆炸性新聞”。不幸地是(或者是幸運?)其實那只是一些不重要的事件，你根本可以不那么關心。 那么你會花多少時間閱讀新聞呢?
For most individuals, the news takes up too much of their time each day. We now get it on our TVs, computers, laptops, iPads, and smartphones. It’s everywhere.
對于大多數人來說，新聞會花掉他們每天太多的時間。如今我們可以在電視，電腦，筆記本，iPad，智能手機上得到各種信息。它無處不在。
In a world where you can get the answer to anything with the push of a button, do you really need to read it all?
在一個你可以按一個按鈕就能獲取一切的世界里，你真心需要閱讀所有新聞嗎?
Less News = More Productivity
新聞越少意味著生產力越高
What could you get done if you read less news?
如果你少讀一些新聞，你又可以做些什么事情呢?
Chances are that you could reclaim a good amount of time in your day. So, instead of saying you don’t have time to do this or that… stop checking the news.
你有可能將自己一天重新改造得更好。所以，與其老是說你木有時間做這個或那個，還不如停止刷信息吧!
Here are 10 Reasons Your Should Stop Checking the News:
你應該停止刷信息的10個理由：
1. It Doesn’t Change That Often
信息不會那么頻繁更新
Really, it doesn’t. You don’t need to check it 17 times a day. Every day or even every other day is plenty.
真的，它的確不會。你不需要每天檢查17次。一天一次或兩天一次已經很多了。
2. Most of It Doesn’t Matter
大多數新聞根本不重要
Most of the news out there is not meaningful. You are better collecting the topics that are important to you via a news reader (RSS).
大多數新聞其實沒什么意義。你最好通過新聞閱讀器來采集對自己重要的主題。
3. Much of it is Wrong
大多數信息是錯誤的
Anyone can type on the Internet, and you shouldn’t read anything without questioning its truth. News curation in the future won’t just be about content… but accuracy.
但任何人都可以在網上寫東西，你也不應該完全不質疑就什么都看。未來的新聞管理不僅是內容上的管理，更是準確度的把關。
4. Even More is Sensationalized
有些新聞更是聳人聽聞
Many news sites have blurred the line between news and rumors. This is almost as dangerous as #3, in that made-up stories are portrayed as news.
很多新聞網站其實都模糊了新聞和謠言之間界限。這和上面我說的第三點一樣危險，那些編造的故事被描述成了新聞。
5. Most of it is Trivia
大多數的新聞屬于無聊瑣碎
Does what the The Kardashians are doing help your day? Does what car Justin Bieber is driving today matter to your work? Most of the news we read is the equivalent of junk food for our brains.
“真人秀演員卡戴珊姐妹正在做什么”能幫到你什么?“今天賈斯丁-比伯開著什么牌子的車”對你工作有幫助么?我們閱讀到的大多數新聞其實無疑為大腦垃圾。
6. Much of the News Isn’t News at All
很多新聞根本不算是新聞
I just reviewed the front page of one of the top news websites and found 14 front-page headlines that end with a “?” This basically means that these news stories aren’t stories. Rather, they are questions, made up topics, and fluff material. Not worth your time.
剛剛我瀏覽了頭條新聞網站的一個頭版頭條，發現14個頭條都以“?” 結尾，這個基本上意味著這些新聞故事不是故事，而是由各種話題和八卦組成的問題。不值得你花時間閱讀。
7. Facebook Isn’t News Either
Facebook 也不是新聞
I see individuals that spend their entire work day with their Facebook stream open. Again, do you really need to know what your friends are doing minute-by-minute of the day?
我看見許多人整個上班時間都開著他們的Facebook. 我又要說了，你真的需要了解你的朋友每時每刻的動態么?
8. Many News “Experts” Aren’t Experts
許多新聞“專家”根本不是專家
Don’t let the pundits and so-called experts convince you that they know any more than you do.
不要相信那些所謂的權威和專家，他們并沒有比你知道得更多。
9. Watching/Surfing the News is Inefficient
刷信息是無效率的
Watching the news is not a great use of your time. Sitting through endless segments, commercials and more, when you could be doing more productive activities. Surfing the news is just as wasteful. Many news sites are covered in more ads than actual news. Again, you could get the same information in a fraction of the time via a new reader. (RSS)
瀏覽信息并沒有充分利用你的時間。當你可以做更多有效率的事情時，你卻選擇耐著性子看商業廣告，片段或者其他東西。這是相當浪費時間的事情，許多新聞網站的廣告比實際新聞還要多。容我再說一次，你可以通過新聞閱讀器花小部分時間來瀏覽相同的信息。
10. Too Much of the News is Negative
太多信息都是負面的
The news loves a bad news story. Reading the front page is bound to bring your attitude down. Don’t let the news impact your attitude and thus your productivity.
新聞總是喜歡報道壞消息。看頭版頭條必定將使你的態度變得消極。不要讓新聞影響到你的態度，從而影響到你的工作效率。
