研究:人类完成数字化时代的过渡

　　If you think that you are suffering from information overload then you may be right - a new study shows everyone is bombarded by the equivalent of 174 newspapers of data a day.

　　如果你认为自己正在遭受着信息过量的困扰，那么你这种想法有可能是正确的。一项最新研究发现，每人每天要面临着相当于174份报纸的信息量的"狂轰滥炸"。

　　The growth in the internet, 24-hour television and mobile phones means that we now receive five times as much information every day as we did in 1986.

　　近年来，互联网、“24小时不间断”电视、移动电话不断发展，意味着我们每天收到的信息量是1986年的五倍。

　　But that pales into insignificance compared with the growth in the amount of information we churn out through email, twitter, social networking sites and text messages.

　　比起人们通过电子邮件、维特网、社交网络和短信“粗制滥造”的信息量，这些太微不足道了。
