研究称智能设备让时间变快了

One day you’re heading to the beach for a fun day in the sun and the next you’re hanging lights and tinsel on a Christmas tree.

某天你可能还在去沙滩玩耍的路上，阳光明媚，转眼第二天就开始给圣诞树挂金箔灯饰了。

It feels like time speeds up more and more every year, but it’s actually technology speeding up our perception of time, one researcher says.

研究人员称，每过一年，人们都觉得时间过得越来越快，但实际上，是因为高科技产品让我们觉得时间变快了。

Smartphones, tablets and other gadgets have trained our brains to process more information, tricking us into thinking time is passing faster than it really is, according to a recent study.

最新研究表明，智能手机、平板电脑等设备迫使我们的大脑处理更多信息，让我们觉得时光流逝的速度在变快。

Even just reading a simple advertisement, subjects perceived time as passing more quickly, than compared to the other group that a long monologue from a ‘real’ book.

通过两个试验小组的对比，研究人员发现，与阅读“实体”书上一大段独白的受试组相比，另一组即使仅看一则简单的广告也觉得时间过得更快。

"It's almost as though we're trying to emulate the technology and be speedier and more efficient," James Cook University researcher Dr Aoife McLoughlin said.
