Chapter 2. Upload: Five principles to end Forgetting 

Para aprender un idioma, la eficiencia es clave. usar técnicas de estudio que se alineen al funcionamiento del cerebro hará que cada hora invertida en el nuevo idioma sea lo más productiva posible.
Para esto el autor propone usar el sistema de repetición espaciada, el cual se basa en la curva del olvido, que muestra cómo los recuerdos se desvanecen con el tiempo, a menos que se refuercen. Este sistema propone revisar conceptos en diferentes puntos del tiempo para maximizar su recuerdo.
¿Estás intentando aprender vocabulario y es difícil recordarlo? Intenta usar Anki, es un software libre de flashcards que usa el sistema de repetición espaciada. Cuando crees tus tarjetas puedes añadir, imágenes y sonidos asociados con la nueva palabra, si creas diferentes conexiones, utilizando todos tus sentidos tendrás más oportunidades de recordar.
Cuando estés revisando la información hazlo de forma activa, es decir, antes de verificar la respuesta o que alguien te la diga, intenta recordar y llegar a la respuesta por ti mismo.

Learn how to ask "how old"

拼音

Unlike her grandmother's generation, Chloe's age group is spending so much time on their phones at home that they are missing out on spending time with their friends in real life. Sheila, on the other hand, has made contact with old friends from school she hasn't heard from in forty years. 'We use Facebook to arrange to meet all over the country,' she says. 'It's changed my social life completely.'

Teenagers might have their parents to thank for their smartphone and social media addiction as their parents were the early adopters of the smartphone. Peter, 38 and father of two teenagers, reports that he used to be on his phone or laptop constantly. 'I was always connected and I felt like I was always working,' he says. 'How could I tell my kids to get off their phones if I was always in front of a screen myself?' So, in the evenings and at weekends, he takes his SIM card out of his smartphone and puts it into an old-style mobile phone that can only make calls and send text messages. 'I'm not completely cut off from the world in case of emergencies, but the important thing is I'm setting a better example to my kids and spending more quality time with them.'

Is it only a matter of time until the generation above and below Peter catches up with the new trend for a less digital life?
