The term "clip thinking" itself appeared in the 90s of the last century. It was needed only as a designation of a person's ability to perceive the world around him in the form of vivid short events, without going into detailed details. However, scientists today are preoccupied with the question of whether this is a good thing.
Actually, practically all modern youth thinks this way. You can, of course, perceive this phenomenon as a common information culture of the future, which is what the Americans are doing. However, after analyzing the situation, scientists agree that only those who are more proficient in conceptual thinking will be able to achieve maximum success in modern conditions. But you need to learn how to use clip art at the right time. How does it look in practice?
Indeed, it is impossible to overcome the avalanche of information that pours out on children from an early age. And the child adapts to existing conditions. But I must say that his parents also adapt him to this. Instead of reading a book before bedtime, it is much easier and more convenient to include a cartoon. Thus, they free up their time and deprive the child of communication and the opportunity to imagine the images of fairy-tale heroes himself. It should be thought that with clip thinking (superficial scraps of topics), some centers of the brain are involved, and with conceptual thinking (continuous analysis, building a chain of sequential actions), completely different ones.
On the one hand, clip thinking makes it possible to quickly perceive information and react to it with lightning speed. But the harm of this tendency lies in the fact that sometimes a person has no time to analyze in the flow of information the moral and ethical side of this or that issue. Hence the increase in the percentage of adolescents who are characterized by violent behavior. Moreover, he himself fails to answer the question of why he did this. In order to reach the desired heights in your career, you need to see the whole long way to the goal and move forward.
Clip thinking is then necessary when you need to quickly make a decision at the level of intuition. "Conceptualists" without the ability to think video clips will not take place in the modern world either. Scientists believe that presidents, successful businessmen, and millionaires know how to use both at the right time. And this is very valuable.
