臺(tái)灣籍旅美老師今天交給我們的句子是:
What remains to be seen today is how the nature of our relationship with our possessions will change with the rise of digital technologies. Many have forecast the demise of physical books and music, but for now, at least, this seems premature. Perhaps there will always be something uniquely satisfying about holding an object in our hands and calling it our own.
隨著數(shù)字科技的興起,我們與屬于自己的東西之間關(guān)系的本質(zhì)將會(huì)怎么改變,至今仍有待觀察。許多人預(yù)測(cè)實(shí)體的書籍和音樂(lè)產(chǎn)品將會(huì)消失,但至少現(xiàn)在看來(lái)還言之過(guò)早?;蛟S,能將實(shí)物握在手中,并宣稱是我們自己的東西,這樣的行為,對(duì)我們來(lái)說(shuō)終究有種獨(dú)特的滿足感。
