Passage A Why
Digital Culture Is Good for You?
The
news
media,
along
with
social
and
behavioral
scientists,
have
recently
sent
out
a
multitude
of
warnings
about
the
many
dangers
that
await
us
out
there
in
cyberspace.
The
truth
of
the
matter
is
that
the
Web
is
no
more
inherently dangerous than anything else
in the world. It is not
some
amorphous
entity
capable
of
inflicting
harmful
outcomes
on
all
who
enter.
In
fact,
in
and of itself, the Web is
fairly harmless.
It
has
no
special
power
to
overtake
its
users
and
alter
their
very
existence.
Like the old tale
that the vampire cannot
harm
you
unless
you
invite
it
to
cross
your
threshold,
the
Internet
cannot
corrupt without being invited. And,
with
the
exception
of
children
and
the
weak-willed, it cannot
create what does
not already exist...
(1)
Like
alcohol,
the
Web
simply
magnifies what is
already there: Experts
are
concerned
that
the
masking
that
goes
on
online
poses
a
danger
for
everyone
who
is
a
part
of
the
Digital
Culture.
Before
we
know
it,
the
experts
tell
us,
we
will
all
use
fake
identities,
become
fragmented,
and
will
no
longer
be sure of just who we are. Wrong. The
only people who feel compelled to mask,
and otherwise misrepresent themselves
online
are
the
same
people
who
are
mysterious
and
unfrank
in
life
Net
just
gives
them
one
more
tool to
practice their deceit.
As for the rest
of us, getting taken in
by these people
is a low probability. We
know
who
these
folks
are
in
the
world
The
Internet
does
not
people to disguise as
something they are
not.
As
for
the
Digital
Culture
getting
cheated
by
these
dishonest
folks,
well,
there
are
just
as
many
online
to
decipher
deception
as
there
are
in
the
world
The
competent
WebHead
can
recognize
many
red
flags
given
off
by
the
online
behavior
of
others.
Oftentimes
the
intentions
of
fellow
users
is
crystal
clear,
especially
over
time.
When
someone
is
trying
to
deceive
us
online,
inconsistencies,
the
essence
that
they
are
trying
hard
or
are
just
plain
unbelievable,
often
come
through
loud
and
clear.
Likewise,
just
like
in
the
world
a
host
of
other
unacceptable
tendencies
can
be
readily
recognized
online.
Narcissism
(it's
all
about
nothing
but
negativity
or
unpleasant
things
to
say
about
others,
and
those
who feel compelled to undermine others
and
who
think
they
must
blow
out
the
other
guys'
candles
in
order
for
their
own to shine can be spotted
a cybermile
away.
(2)
The
Web
can
bring
out
the
best
in
people:
Gregarious,
frank
folks
in
life
usually
carry
these
same
traits over to their online life. Most
are
just as fun-loving online if not
more so,
as they are at a party, at
work, or at the
local
bar.
Though
admittedly,
some
are
not
quite
as
much
fun
to
be
around
without a stiff
drink.
Shy
folks
have
a
environment
online
than
in
the
world
and
can
learn
to
express
themselves
more
freely
on
the
Net
(you've
never
seen
anyone
stutter
on
e-mail, have you?) allowing them to
gain
confidence
and
communication
skills
that can eventually spill over into
other
aspects
of
their
lives.
Helpful
people
in
life
are
often
just
as
willing
to
come
to
someone's
assistance
online
as
anywhere
else.
(3) People are judged
differently on
the
Web:
On
the
Internet
people
are
judged
by
their
personality,
beliefs
and
online
actions,
NOT
by
their
physical
appearance.
This
is
good.
It
not
only
gives
ugly
folks
an
aid,
but
causes
Beautiful
People
to
have
to
say
something worth
listening to in order to
get attention.
(4)
People
open
up
more:
Many
people are opening up a whole lot more
these days since they are not required
to
use
their
real
name
and
provide
their
real identity in the
Internet.
(5)
We're
connected:
Members
of
the
Digital
Culture
know
full
well
that
there
is
a
wealth
and
of
important
information
life-changing
opportunities
out
there
in
cyberspace.
The Web has
opened doors for many of
us
that
otherwise
would
never
have
been
an
option.
Research
possibilities
and
networking
are
just
two
such
opportunities.
(6)
We
Learn
the
Power
of
Words
and
to
be
Better
Listeners:
With
no
facial
expressions,
body
language,
or
physical
appearance
to
distract
us,
members
of
the
Digital
Culture
have
learned the power of
words ... both their
own,
and
others'.
We
know
very
well
how a simple string of words can harm,
hurt
and
offend,
or
how
they
can
offer
humor,
help,
support
Most
and
encouragement.
learned
to
experienced
wordsmiths,
members
of
the
online
culture
have
become
carefully
crafting
the
words
they
use
to
convey exactly what they
mean so as not
to be misunderstood.
Many
of
us
have
also
learned
to
become
far better listeners thanks to the
Internet.
Not
only
do
we
choose
our
words more carefully but we (especially
those
who
communicate
via
email
as
opposed
to
chat
rooms)
are
forced
to
wait
until
the
other
person
finishes
before we can speak
or respond.
A
为什么数字文化对你有好处？
最近，
新闻媒体以及社会学家和行为学家们都发
出大量警告指出：网络空间危险重重。其实，万
维网与世界上其它任何事物一样并非
天然地有
害。
它并非某种看不见摸不着的实体，
能使危险
降临进入它的每一个人。
实际上，
网络就其本身
而言是相当无害的，
它没有超越其使
用者并改变
他们的存在的特殊功能。
正如古老的传说指出的
一样，
吸血鬼不请不会自入家门来伤害你，
互联
网也不会不请自来地使你堕落。
除孩子和意志薄
弱者外，它不可能造成本来就不存在的东西
…
<
/p>
（

）如同酒精的作用一样，网络仅仅是
将已有
的事物放大：
专家们担心，网上盛行的隐藏装假对参与数字
文化的人来说是危险的。
他们告诉我们，
我们不
知不觉地全都会使用
假身份，
一个个变得残缺不
全面目全
非，
以至于连自己都不敢肯定自己究竟
是谁。
< br>全错。
只有那些在
“
现实生活<
/p>
”
中表现得诡
秘莫测，
< br>毫不坦诚的人，
才感到被迫要在网上伪
装自己并用其它方
法提供虚假情况。
网络只不过
为他们增添了一种实施欺骗的工具
。
因为我们了解现实生活中的
这些人，
所以被这
些人欺骗的可能性很小。因特网并不会
“
引起
”
人们去装扮
成另一些人。
至于数字文化中人被这
些不诚实的家伙欺骗的问题
，
就如同
“
现实
”
生活
中一样，
网上同样有许多
“
信号
”
会揭露他
们的骗
术。
有水平的网迷能识别在线人行为所发出的很
多危险信号。
尤其是经过一段时间之后，
别的用
户的意图常常是非常清楚的。
<
/p>
有人试图在网上欺骗我们时，常常会明白无误
地表现为自我矛盾，
这是力求取信而过分涂抹，
甚至说话虚假、令人难信的必然迹象。同样，与
在
“
现实世界
”
中一样，
许多其它令人讨厌的倾向
在网上也都能很
容易地识别出来。
孤芳自赏
（一
切围绕
“
我我我
”
）
在网络上也老远就会被发现，
因为他们都是些只说别人反话或坏话的人，
认为
只有吹灭他人的蜡烛自己才能闪光的人。（

）
网络能让人展现其最好的一面：
“
现实生活
”
中爱好交往和直率的人在网上也会
展现相同的个性。
多数人网上和网下都一样爱找
乐趣，
即使不是有
过之而无不及，
也与他们平时
在聚会上、
在工作中和在当地的酒吧里一样喜欢
寻找乐趣。
然而无可否认
，
有些人没有烈性酒作
伴，你和他们在一起就不会那么欢乐。<
/p>
害羞的人在网上比在
“
现实世界
”
中会得到更
为
“
安全的
”
环境，
并且在网上能学会更自由地表
达
自己
（你从未见到过有人会在电子邮件上结结
巴巴地说话，对吗
），网络会使他们增强信心，
获得交际技能，
而这些又最终会扩
大到他们生活
的其它方面。
现实生活中喜欢帮助他人的人常常<
/p>
在网上也愿意尽力帮助他人。
<
/p>
（

）网上评价人的方式不同：
在互联网上，
对人的评价是看他们的个性、
信
念和网上行为，
而不是看他们的外表长相。
这很
好，
< br>因为它不仅会给其貌不扬的人机会，
也会使
长相漂亮的人
必须要说话值得一听才会引起别
人注意。
（

）
人们更加坦率：
由于在互联网
上不必使用真名并提供真实身
份，许多人近日来更加坦诚，畅吐心曲。
< br>
