答案
Nowadays no one would doubt that electronic communication media reach a much bigger audience at a speed that pales even forerunners a few decades ago. However, whether such high speed means as television and email have handicapped meaningful and thoughtful communication has been called into doubt. In fact, one needs not to go far to find that these doubts are groundless. Far from being an impediment, high speed electronic media step up the communication of meaningful and insightful ideas. In previous times, most of communication was carried out by mail delivered by postmen hurrying in carts pulled by horses. This was undoubtedly slow and full of mistakes in addressing and delivery. Things became worse if weather was inclement. In the 19th century, great writers, such as Tolstoy, Balzac and Moiposson, spent months waiting for important responses from their publishers and peer friends. However, what is needed in the era of email is a click to send an insightful review, a brilliant idea or an enlightening paper to the other hemisphere. Besides, it involved prohibitive costs of money and time to get thoughtful works, whether a play, a novel or musical composition, to a large audience that the greatness of the works ought to reach. Best sellers by scintillating names, for example, Dickens, Dumas, Hugo, hardly approached the threshold of a million. Today TVs and internet can place novels, drama or thoughts at the focus of national attention within minutes. Never has it been more convenient to conduct thoughtful and meaningful communication with high speed electronic media as today. Not only do high speed electronic media contribute much to quickly communicating thoughtful and meaningful ideas or works, they also enhance their production. TVs and internet open up new fields of perception and broaden our horizon, bringing myriads of new knowledge before our inquiring minds. With the richness and completeness of information available, we are more ready to come up with meaningful and holistic ideas since insularity hampers perception and yields bigotry. What’s more, the vividness of TVs and highly interactive nature of email help draw closer the minds of people of different skin colors and nationalities, fostering curiosity and a sense of unity. This in turn promotes the readiness to a higher stage of meaningful and in-depth communication. In the Hollywood classic You’ve Got Mail, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan demonstrates what an amazing altitude communication through email can reach. Meaningfulness and insight always result from the same things—perception and love of truth, candor and trust, and readiness to share ideas and skill in self-expression. The ease and richness of high speed electronic media add new strength to these things in bringing forth insights in communication. Admittedly, there are lots of trash ads and unwholesome contents in TV shows and emails, which constitute real threats to meaningful communication. But we should not balk at promoting the usage of email or watching TV programs. We should see the tremendous joint efforts by email service providers, TV program producers and legislation to get rid of trash information that stands in the way of customer rights and meaningful communication. The hope for a clean and clear space both in TV and cyberspace is growing bigger. High speed electronic media are blessing for meaningful and thoughtful communication, though there are spots that may mar their perfection. We should embrace them and help them grow wholesomely.
