看書看得正入神時(shí)聽到手機(jī)響，打開一看，原來是某個(gè)群里有人發(fā)了個(gè)笑話；過一會(huì)兒，手機(jī)再響，原來是垃圾短信。這種情況，大家天天都會(huì)遇見，可能大家沒意識(shí)到，但如此的信息侵?jǐn)_其實(shí)是無意間在盜用大家每一個(gè)人的注意力。

Attention theft refers to the intrusion on a persons attention by unwanted and unauthorized text, sounds, or images.

Attention theft指一個(gè)人的精力或注意力被無需與未經(jīng)授權(quán)的文字、聲音或圖像信息所侵?jǐn)_的狀況，大家可稱之為注意力盜用。

網(wǎng)絡(luò)是最大的污染者。垃圾信息連污染都算不上，它們其實(shí)是精力盜用。不過，即使是合情適當(dāng)?shù)泥]件往來也由于被抄送給了不少非必須的人而致使更多人被冗余的空洞措辭和無休止的回復(fù)所侵?jǐn)_。
