15、ound laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught. Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes “mindlessly” by taking down word for word what the professors said. In the first experiment,
16、students were given either a laptop or pen and paper.They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual notetaking skills.Thirty minutes after the talk, they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts. The researchers found that laptop
17、users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand.However, the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts.Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts. The researchers report said, “While more notes are beneficial, if the notes are taken mindlessly, as
18、is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disappears.” In another experiment aimed at testing longterm memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture.This time, the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam. These two experimen

44、 movies, we will save a century of history. Unfortunately, movies are not made to last.2Already the losses are high.Only 20% of US feature films from the 1910s to 1920s survive.Of the American features produced before 1950, about half exist.For independently produced works, we have no way of knowing
