We are being drowned in a sea of irrelevance.
A message without context is meaningless.
We are moving from a word-based culture to an image-based culture.
On television, all subject matter must be presented as entertainment.
Information is now a commodity that can be consumed as entertainment.
In the age of show business, serious public discourse becomes entertainment.
We are amusing ourselves to death.
We are not destroyed by what we hate, but by what we love.
The medium is the metaphor.
当严肃与荒谬不再有界限,真理也随之模糊。
当课堂只追求“有趣”,知识就失去了厚度。
点击、点赞与转发,让我们以为自己在思考。
拥有越多的工具,失去越多的灵魂。
文明不是在暴力中灭亡,而是在笑声中消解。
社交媒体让表达取代思考,情绪取代理性。
一旦上了屏幕,一切都变成表演。
复杂的思想,被挤压成十秒的笑点。
我们以为在使用信息,其实被信息所使用。
每一种媒介,都携带着自己的意识形态。
