Recently the Barbican museum in London held an exhibition called the Rain Room. During the time this exhibition was open, my Twitter stream was filled with photos of people standing in the Rain Room, accompanied by the caption(标题)"Rain Room @ The Barbican!" and a location attachment to prove that they were indeed in the Rain Room.
This got me thinking. What were people actually saying by Tweeting about their visit ? I think all they were doing was meeting the obligation that we have to share. Not sharing in the sense of treasuring a moment with people close to us, but sharing in the sense of "notify the world that 1 am doing a thing".
It’s not sharing; it’s showing off. When we log in to Facebook or Twitter we see an infinitely updating stream of people enjoying themselves. It’s not real life, because people only post about the good things whereas all the dull or deep stuff doesn’t get mentioned. But despite this obvious fact, it subconsciously makes us feel like everyone is having a better time than us.
This is the curse of our age. We walk around with the tools to capture extensive data about our surroundings and transmit them in real-time to every acquaintance we’ve made. We end up with a diminished perception of reality because we’re more concerned about choosing a good Instagram filter for our meal than how it tastes.
I don’t think that it’s inherently wrong to want to keep the world updated about what you’re doing. But when you go through life robotically posting about everything you do, you’re not a human being. You’re just a prism,(棱镜)that takes bits of light and sound and channels them into the Cloud.
The key thing to remember is that you are not enriching your experiences by sharing them online; you’re detracting(转移)from them because all your efforts are focused on making them look attractive to other people. Once you stop seeing things through the eyes of the people following you on Twitter or Facebook or Instagram, you can make your experiences significant, because you were there and you saw the sights and smelled the smells and heard the sounds, not because you snapped a photo of it through a half-inch camera lens.
What kind of behavior does the author consider wrong?
选项
A、Informing the world of what you are doing.
B、Posting about everything you do robotically.
C、Keeping your friends updated about the digital tools.
D、Channeling your personal photos into the Cloud.
答案
B
解析
观点态度题。本题考查哪种行为在作者看来是错误的。由定位段可知,作者认为,想让世界时时了解你正在做什么本质上并没有什么错,但当你机械地把你的生活中所做的一切发布到网上时,你就不再是一个活生生的人。你只是一面棱镜,把周遭的光与声音都传输到“云”上。由此可知,作者认为机械地把自己所做的一切发布到网上的行为是错误的,故答案为B)。A)“让世界知道你正在做什么”,该段提到有这种想法本质上并没有错,故排除;C)“让朋友随时了解数码产品的最新信息”和D)“将你的个人照片上传到‘云’上”均是对第五段内容的曲解,故排除。
