Yuval Noah Harariの "21 Lessons for the 21st Century" を読んでいます。 世の中変わったなと感じるのは、PCやスマホでインターネットにアクセスし情報のやり取りがいとも簡単にできるようになったことが一番ですね。 Lesson 19(Education)から引用します。
If you live in some provincial Mexican town and you have a smartphone, you can spend many lifetimes just reading Wikipedia, watching TED talks and taking free online courses. No government can hope to conceal all the information it doesn't like. On the other hand, it is alarmingly easy to inundate the public with conflicting reports and red herring. People will all over the world are but a click away from the latest accounts of the bombardment of Aleppo or of melting ice caps in the Arctic, but there are so many contradictory accounts that it is hard to know what to believe. Besides, countless other things are just a click away, making it difficult to focus, and when politics or science look too complicated it is tempting to switch to some funny cat videos, celebrity gossip or porn.
スマホは画面が小さいので私は最低限しか利用していません。PC派です。いずれにせよ、FakeニュースやSPAM、詐欺に違いない情報も非常に増えているのが厄介な問題ですが。
