  Okay, so, my 60-second idea to change the world is to invent a device that recognizes when your brain is 1)overloaded and quietly shuts down all your e-mail and social media feeds. So, I think it might work by sensing physical signs of stress and tiredness—so things like 2)hormone levels and blood pressure—and when they cross a certain 3)threshold it could 4)block off all new information and give you the time and space to process the things that are already cluttering up your brain. So there would be nothing we could do to stop it. It would be like a sick note from the doctor or a letter from your mom 5)excusing you from gym class.
  I think a device like this is necessary because we don’t have the willpower to do it for ourselves. I know I don’t. We don’t tend to switch off when it’s all getting too much, and the more tired and stressed we are, the more likely we are to check e-mail and Twitter and Facebook 6)obsessively when we should be concentrating on more important things, like getting off the bus at the right stop or not walking into 7)lampposts.
  好的,我“60秒改变世界”的想法是发明一个设备,当你的大脑超负荷时,它能够悄悄关闭你所有的电子邮件和社交媒体网站。所以,我想(这一设备)应该能根据人体在压力和疲惫出现时的生理征兆——像是荷尔蒙水平和血压,当它们超过一定极限时,能够阻挡一切新的信息,让你有时间和空间来消化已经堆积在大脑的事物。所以我们没有办法阻止这一过程。这就像你收到医生的一张病假单或是妈妈同意不去上体育课的一封信一样(无法阻挡)。
  我想这样的设备很有必要,因为我们自己没有意志力去(拒绝接收外界的信息)。我知道我没有。当信息量已经过大时,我们往往不会停止接收。我们越疲劳,越有压力,就越有可能强迫自己去查看电子邮件、微博和脸书。然而,此时我们应该把精力放在更重要的事情上,像是在对的站点下车或者不要撞在灯柱上。
