As is subtly reviewed in the portrayal, a great many people are surfing online. |
| [00:08.17] |
Separated by the stretching spider web, these cyber citizens attempt to communicate with each other. |
| [00:15.66] |
Undoubtedly, the Internet exerts such a profound effect on our life, |
| [00:20.39] |
that it revolutionizes the way of people’s living and thinking. |
| [00:24.28] |
The exaggerative and impressive drawing has symbolically reflected the duality of the relationship between man and the Internet. |
| [00:33.55] |
The spider web epitomizes the Internet |
| [00:36.87] |
which is the most efficient contemporary media of interpersonal communication. |
| [00:42.16] |
People isolated from each other represent those net citizens |
| [00:47.54] |
who have lost the skill of face-to-face contact and get alienated from each other. |
| [00:53.95] |
The fact that people feel reluctant to contact others directly |
| [00:59.08] |
indicates that to some extent some people are too much addicted to the Internet to maintain a regular and wholesome lifestyle. |
| [01:07.96] |
Hence, it is necessary for us to use the Internet in a reasonable way and restrain from overindulgence. |
| [01:15.63] |
For one thing, in addition to providing us many of the facilities and services we now must travel to obtain, |
| [01:23.22] |
with the Internet, the computer will even let us communicate directly |
| [01:27.54] |
with people all over the world and with information sources worldwide. |
| [01:32.56] |
For another, as nearly all activities could be conducted in the comfort of our own homes or offices, |
| [01:39.27] |
we could all become hermit-like, never feeling any need to leave the computer. |
| [01:44.56] |
Accordingly, the challenge of the Internet means we should consider how we can use it, so that it won't control us. |
