內容簡介 | 這世上幾乎沒有什麼東西不靠電腦運作了。實際上,每件事都是由電腦控制的——用網路、傳播、傳送和接收數位訊號。我們的世界,是一個逐漸受二進位處理及程式設計,所主宰的類比世界。數位的無所不在改變了我們,而且逐漸茁壯;舉例而言,很快地,家庭科技就只能透過數位、甚至遙控來控制了;到2018年時,第一輛無人駕駛汽車將在加州上路。 人類需要變得多「數位」?數位又需要有多少「人性」呢?本紀錄片說明了數位環境,讓四個不同的世代敘述他們的故事——從不是出身於非實體溝通的 社會的世代,一直處於模擬現實系統的世代。
Hardly anything in the world works without a PC any more. Practically, everything is controlled by computer - with networks, communication, sending and receiving all digital. Our world is an analogue world that is increasingly being dominated by binary processes and programmes. This digital omnipresence has co-opted us and is continuing to grow in strength; it won't be long, for example, until household technology can only be controlled digitally, and even remotely, or until 2018 when the first self-driving vehicles hit the roads in California. How much "digital" does humankind need? And how much "human" does digital need? This documentary illuminates digital environments and descriptively tells its story using four different generations - ranging from the generation that was not born into the telepathic society through to Generation Vipe.<摘錄自媒體封面或內頁> |
