I’ve written before about Sherry Turkle’s new book, Alone Together: Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other, on adolescents’ use of the Web, social media and connected devices. Turkle thinks it might well be overuse; she sounds alarm bells about what the new tools could be doing to their emotional development, much like what Nick Carr highlights what could be doing to our intellect. I don’t know if she’s right or not, but I do find one aspect of her work striking: Since when did we start to worry that the social kids were spending too much time with computers?
When I was an adolescent, there was a veiy strong negative correlation between the amount of time you spent in front of a computer and the number of your peers, male or female, who wanted to hang out with you. That is just not the case anymore. These days you’re not a weirdo if you know too much about digital technologies; you’re a weirdo if you don’t know enough about them.
In a short space of time, a few digital resources have become something between enormously popular and pervasive in America. These include Google, Facebook, the Apple iCo-system, Amazon and Twitter. They’re collectively responsible for a huge amount of computer sales and screen time. More fundamentally, they’ve turned screen time from a signal of geekiness(极客文化), a job requirement or a necessary evil into a straightforward aspect of modern existence.
How did this happen? It wasn’t by law. And it wasn’t by hype(大肆宣传)or clever marketing. Those help spark demand, not sustain it; you can’t fool all the people all the time. Network effects were important in explaining the success of some of these, as were brilliant strategics for building and exploiting platforms, but 1 want to highlight something else all these resources have in common: They all delight their users.
They do so, I believe, by being some combination of simple, social and useful. But I don’t want to dive deep here into an examination of technology delight. I just want to stress that it now exists, and that it’s a wonderful, unexpected and underappreciated phenomenon.
This is without question a good thing. Turkic, Carr and the other tech pessimists might have some good points, but we shouldn’t let them obscure the big picture. The world of technology has passed an important tipping point; It’s expected to delight us now, not frustrate us. Users are increasingly going to expect and demand that the techs they use make sense to them. This feels to me like a one-way street. I can’t see how we’ll ever retreat back to technologies that alienate us, just like we won’t go back to buying cars that break down a lot or cathode ray tube TVs. We can look forward to more, different and greater delights from technology, rather than more tools built by geeks for geeks. How is this not great news? [br] Which of the following statements about Sherry Turkle’ s new book is INCORRECT?
选项
A、It says adolescents have fewer friends because of much screen time.
B、It tells adolescents are spending too much time on computers.
C、It talks things on adolescents’ use of the Web, social media and connected devices.
D、It shows concern that technology might harm adolescents’ emotional development.
答案
A
解析
细节题。根据第一段前两句:“……关于青少年使用网络、社会媒体以及相关链接设备。Turkle认为科技可能被过度使用;她认为这些新的工具可能会影响青少年的情感发展……”,由此可知[A]”它说明青少年拥有较少的朋友是因为在电脑前花费了大量的时间”并未在Sherry Turkle的新书里有所体现,所以是正确答案。而[B]”它告诉人们青少年在电脑上花费过多的时间”、[C]”它谈论关于青少年使用网络、社会媒体以及相关链接设备的事情”和[D]”它关注科技会损害青少年的情感发展”均是Turkle新书涉及的内容,故都排除。
