For Conversation Press#1
I’ve got a cell phone,email and voice mail.But why am I so lonely?
A funny thing happened on the way to the communications revolution:we stopped talking to one another.
I was walking in the park with a friend recently,and his cell phone rang,interrupting our conversation.There they were,talking on a beautifully sunny day and I became invisible,absent from the conversation.
The park was filled with people talking on their cell phones.They were passing other people without looking at them,saying hello,noticing their babies or stopping to pet their puppies.Evidently,the untethered electronic voice is preferable to human contact.
The telephone used to connect you to the absent.Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent.Recently I was in a car with three friends.The driver hushed the rest of us because he could not hear the person on the other end of his cell phone.There we were,four friends zooming down the highway,unable to talk to one another because of a gadget designed to make communication easier.
Why is it that the more connected we get,the more disconnected I feel?Every advance in communications technology is a setback to the intimacy of human interaction.With email and instant messaging over the internet,we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another.With voice-mail,you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone.If my mom has a question,I just leave the answer on her machine.
As almost every conceivable contact between human beings gets automated,the alienation index goes up.You can’t even call a person to get the phone number of another person any more.Directory assistance is almost always fully automated.
Pumping gas at the station?Why say good morning to the attendant when you can swipe your credit card at the pump and save yourself the bother of human contact?
Making a deposit at the bank?Why talk to a clerk who might live in the neighborhood when you can just insert your card into the ATM?
Pretty soon you won’t have the burden of making eye contact at the grocery store.Some supermarket chains are using a self-scanner so you can check yourself out,avoiding those annoying clerks who look at you and ask how you are doing.
I’am no Luddite.I own a cell phone,an ATM card,a voice –mail system,an email account.
Giving them up isn’t an option-they are great for what they are great for what they are intended to do.It’s their unintended consequences that make me cringe.

谈话按# 1
我有一个手机、电子邮件和语音邮件.但是为什么我如此孤独?
一件奇怪的事情发生在信息革命的路上,我们停止了相互交谈.
我在公园里散步时,一位朋友最近,他的手机响了,打断了我们的谈话.它们就在那儿,在完美的阳光明媚的日子里,我变得看不见,缺席了谈话.
公园里到处都是冲着手机说话的人.他们擦肩而过的人们没有看他们,注意到他们的婴儿,也不停下来抚弄一下他们的小狗.显然,手机里的电子声音比人类的联系.
电话用来连接不在场的人.现在它让人感觉不在场似的坐在你旁边.最近我在一辆三个朋友的名字.司机寂静的其余的人因为他无法听到其它人结束他的手机.我们有四个朋友公路、缩到了不能互相交谈,因为这种装置设计使得沟通更加容易.
为什么我们联系越密切的联系,越多我的感受?通讯技术的每一个进步都是的亲密程度的一种倒退人类互动.用电子邮件和即时信息在互联网,我们可以看到或现在交流时开始互相交谈.与voice-mail,你可以进行整个对话从来没有达到任何人.如果我的妈妈有一个问题,我只要把答案在她的电话答录机.
几乎随着人类的每一个可能的联系方式得到的自动化,感情疏远指数在不断上升.你甚至不能叫人去另一个人的电话号码.电话指南几乎完全是自动的.
泵送去加油站加油吗?为什么说早上好服务员,当你可以刷你的信用卡在泵可以救自己,与人的麻烦吗?
你可以把磁卡插入自动柜员机吗?
很快地你将不负有举证责任死死地盯着杂货店.一些超市连锁店正在使用一种self-scanner所以你可以查查仪容,避免那些恼人的店员问怎么看你,你所做的事.
我太太没有Luddite.我拥有一部手机,ATM卡,一个声音-mail系统,一个电子邮件帐户.
给他们不是一个option-they都是伟大的,为什麽他们都是伟大的,为他们想做的事.这是他们的意想不到的后果,使我欣喜若狂.
有道词典搜索的.
在银行的存款吗?为什么要同职员可能住在邻近地区,
第一段:我接到过电话,email,语音留言,可是为什么我还是很寂寞
第二段:通讯发生了翻天覆地的变化,也产生了一件很耐人寻味的事情:我们不再交谈
第三段:不久前,我很一个朋友在公园散步,他的手机响了,打断了我们的交谈,他们聊的很开心,而我,却被忽视了。
第四段:公园里充满了通手机的人,他们插肩而过,缺不屑去相互看一眼,问候一句,看看对方的宝贝,或停下拍拍对方的宠物。很明显...

第五段:休息一下。太多了。。
