做滑世代科技的 「主 人」或「奴隸」？

Master or a Slave in the Touch-screen Generation

面對難以抵擋的網際網路科技浪潮，洞察智慧型手機或平板電腦等科技產品，其本身是「中性的」，無「善惡」之分，無「黨派」之別，也無「國界」之異，其操作運用結果之有良窳，端賴「人為」使然。由於先天人性的不完美與後天社會的多元複雜性，導致當前網際網路滑社會族群衍生許多併發症。鑑此，作者進而從個人、家庭、學校、社會、政府此五層面，提出許多因應策略，俾期國人成為科技的「主人」，而不是「奴隸」；進而「管控」科技以謀人類更大福祉，避免科技「宰制」人類而帶來許多禍害。

The tide of internet technology is impossible to resist in modern age. Given a precondition like this， we need to develop an insight into the properties of smart phones， tablet PCs and other types of technological products. They are essentially neutral and cannot be distinguished according to their goodness versus badness or political and national terms. The resultant effects of these products depend entirely on the operation imposed upon them by humans.Many complications generated by internet technology have been observed in the society nowadays， due to the inherently imperfection of human nature and the complexity in their nurturing process. Taking these into account， the author proposes many coping strategies in the five areas of individual， family， school， society， and government. These strategies are expected to develop citizens in Taiwan into “masters” rather than “slaves” of technology. It is suggested that we should manage technology for the pursuit of greater welfare for humans while prevent it from dominating humans and creating disasters for them.
