细节题
The 20th-century futurists made some unbelievable predictions, but several predictions didn’t turn out to be that accurate. For example, some futurists believed that we can live to be 150 and pilot private planes from our homes. However, Marshall MeLuhan, a Canadian professor of English literature who became a pioneer of media studies, came closer than anyone to understanding our present technology-driven world.
In 1962, Professor McLuhan published a book called The Gutenberg Galaxy. In this book, he said that human history could be divided into four different chapters: the acoustic age, the literary age, the print age and the new electronic age. McLuhan said that the new electronic age would be the time when we live in a “global village”—a space where technology would share knowledge with everyone.
But Professor McLuhan was worried about what the Internet might be used for. He believed it was the way people received information that mattered just as much or even more than the actual information itself.
“Once our senses and nervous systems give way to the tech companies who would benefit by taking advantage of us, we don’t really have any rights left,” he said. McLuhan warned us that private manipulation (操纵) would narrow down the information we receive based on what marketers and advertisers choose for us to see.
These days, most of McLuhan’s “global village” is kept in private and limited spaces. Many search engine companies make it easier for us to find information but finally decide what information we may see and in which order. They record our private data within our searches to sell it to advertisers.
Targeted (针对性的) ads are flashed at us everywhere we go and cyber attacks happen every day. Of course, there are many measures we can use to protect our privacy. For example, we can use cloud-based services with better data protection services. But at the end of the day, we can’t help but wonder if these measures will actually do anything to truly keep our personal information and data safe.
