互联网时代的加速演进下，我们进入了大信息和大数据时代。从某一天起，我们打开各类新闻和资讯类 App，标题党充斥和断章取义者遍地已是常态，爆炸的海量内容和基于人性的上瘾算法，更让时间在手指向上向下向左向右的滑动和刷新中匆匆然流逝。 于是，在入睡时，放下或掉下手机，你好像知道了好多，却又好像什么也没留下，碎片化的信息和琐碎的知识，吞噬了生命中的大量时间。有一刻我们有所觉悟，好像除了视力的下降和脸上斑纹的增多，其余无所获。 更有时，当别人在身边讨论这样那样的话题，竟然我们一头雾水，我们不经意间错过了一些大事而失去了话题参与性。 蹉跎中和迷惑中回头有思，每个人都是自己命运的最大 Boss，而作为自己的老板，我们需要一个小秘书 —— 每天早上 5 分钟提供一份简报，摘要概述 24 小时内、一周内、一年内的大事件…… 国内国际，微博知乎，新闻联播节目概要，科技财经生活娱乐汽车…… 这便有了「要知」。 信息无穷尽，要知要知的。 知所要，知重要 - 要知要知的。 重要，必要，需要 - 要知要知的。 我们要知道那些要知道的，这便是「要知」的名字由来。
