根据短文内容,回答下列问题。(每题答案不超过 10 个词)
In today's digital (数字的) age, video platforms all offer viewers the choices to watch content at different speeds, from the standard "normal" play up to "2X" (2 times) or even faster.
Joel Jelen, a 55-year old, has been a fan of the fast-forward button for about 15 years, mainly for one type of content. "I often watch sports videos at double speed," he shares. "I started doing this because I realized life is too short to sit through a football match from the beginning to the end." What began as a work break habit has become a preferred way of relaxation for Jelen. "It's very relaxing and a great break from my job. I get to catch all the key moments and action without spending hours upon hours."
It's true that packing more viewing into less time sounds effective. However, Zhang, a film reviewer, argues, "Many people make thoughtful choices in their films, such as pacing, lighting, timing, and music to perfect them. Speeding up can ruin (毁坏) the experience." According to Zhang, if someone speeds up a film while watching, their comments of the film cannot be valid (合理的).
Sometimes getting a quick overview and feeling a sense of achievement from consuming another piece of information seem to become more important. As a result, people speed up content to tick off "watched" or "listened to" from their to-do lists, instead of truly enjoying the films and songs. However, people don't realize that sped-up content sometimes destroys their patience with life. One Chinese Internet user said, "I found myself growing impatient with tasks like research for work or studying for exams, which can take hours, days, or even weeks. I'd think, 'How can I speed this up?' And that thought really scares me."
We already live in a fast-paced society, yet we still try to speed it up in every aspect. But some things should remain unhurried, such as our appreciation (欣赏) for beauty and the value of hard work.
