2016 存在與虛無 Being
Smart phones are changing human history. For nearly a decade they have spread with unimaginable speed. They are probably the single category of product that has become universal most quickly in all of history. By the time we have come to be concerned about how they will alter human life, the levels at which they are influencing us have multiplied more quickly than we could imagine. From the broadcasting of news and images, entertainment, human relations, families, physical and mental health, education, and business management to politics, virtually nothing can be separated from phones. They are an irresistible force, and it seems there is no looking back.
Revolutionary new technologies inevitably usher in influences both positive and negative. In education, are smart phones helpful or harmful? This is a question that has puzzled me for several years. For university students in pursuit of self-actualization, is immersion in these gleaming silver screens imprisonment of the mind, or liberation? And how should we define “being” and “nothingness”?
智慧型手機正在改變人類的歷史，近十年來以無法想像的速度擴散，這應該是歷史上普及最快的單一類型產品，當我們正開始關心它將如何改變人類生活時，影響的層面比我們想像的更快更廣，從訊息及影像的傳播、育樂、人際關係、家庭、身心健康、教育、企業管理到政治等，幾乎無一可與其切割關係，並且勢不可擋，也似乎已無法回頭。
革命性的新科技必定帶來正反兩面的影響，智慧型手機在教育方面是利或弊呢？是我幾年來置於心中的困惑。正值追求自我實現的大學生，當沈浸在亮白銀幕時是一種思考的禁錮還是解放？1962年大學時期的張照堂老師作品「存在與虛無」，反映了追尋自我價值及存在意義的渴求，五十幾年後的今日大學生，當面對經典時是否感受到「存在與虛無」？而我們又該如何來定義「存在」與「虛無」？
