网络信息时代的“煎饼人”
<p> 上中学的时候，我们学过一句英语谚语“<span word="Jack">Jack</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="all">all</span> <span word="trades">trades</span>, <span word="master">master</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="none">none</span>”，说的是<span word="Jack">Jack</span>这个孩子什么都懂一点，但每样都不精通。老师教育我们说做事情要专注，要刨根究底，知其然，还要知其所以然。谁知，到了伟大的21世纪，<span word="Jack">Jack</span>小朋友又跑出来了，而且同伴还不少呢。</p><p> </p><p> <span

随着网络和各种信息渠道的发展，很多人都力求在各个不同领域都至少获得一些基本的操作知识。他们就是所谓的“煎饼人”，他们不再将精力专注于某一个感兴趣的领域，而是让自己的关注点浅浅地散布在一个很大的范围。由此，新一代的“煎饼人”就真的成谚语里说的“门门通，门门松”了。</p><p> <span word="The">The</span> <span word="term">term</span>
