为什么值得读
- 深入论证文字与严肃阐述在公共话语中的必要性
- 揭示碎片化视听形式对新闻深度与严肃性的消解
- 对比两大反乌托邦预言，观点在网络时代依然切中
《Amusing Ourselves to Death》具有预言性地审视了当政治、新闻、教育乃至宗教都沦为娱乐的附庸时所带来的后果。同时，它也是一份重新夺回我们对媒体控制权的行动蓝图，旨在让媒体服务于我们最崇高的目标。

…我们是谁、我们生活在哪里似乎已变得遥不可及。一种去启蒙。一个信息缺失的时代。”——比尔·麦吉本，《信息缺失的时代》，1992年。麦吉本的书就像尼尔·波兹曼的《娱乐至死》一样，比起电视时代，在互联网时代反而更具现实意义。“信息”像赌场里的老虎机代币一样被派发出来，这背后有某种阴险的隐患。那些……的“事实”更是潜藏着危险，…
…who we are and where we live seems beyond our reach. An Unenlightenment. An age of missing information.” -- Bill McKibben, The Age of Missing Information, 1992 McKibben's book, just like Neil Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death, is even more relevant to the internet age than the television age. There is something insidious about "information" that's doled out like slot tokens at a casino. Something dangerous about "facts" that…
正好趁机提一下我最喜欢的关于媒体和公共话语的书之一：尼尔·波兹曼写的《娱乐至死：演艺业时代的公共话语》。书中对比了20世纪两部声名赫赫的反乌托邦小说（《1984》和《美丽新世界》），来研判我们的世界到底…
This is great time to mention one of my favorite books on the media and public discourse: Amusing Ourselves to Death - Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business, by Neil Postman. In the book, the two infamous dystopian novels of the 20th century (1984 and Brave New World) are compared to determine which one our world…
他话里的核心观点挺站得住脚的，但他本应该挖得更深一点。关于“文本”、书面文字、阐述论证的重要性，想要看到更深入的论述——我推荐去读读波兹曼的《娱乐至死》。这里有人认为图片/视频更胜一筹，但俗话说“一图胜千言”。好吧，可具体是哪一千个字呢？它们传达给你的一千个字，和传达给…
The gist of what he's saying is pretty sound, but he should have gone deeper. For a deeper argument on the importance of "text", the written word, exposition - I recommend reading Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death. People here are suggesting that images/video are superior, but there's the cliche, "a picture is worth a thousand words". Well, which thousand words? Do they convey the same thousand words to you as…
…承认《经济学人》还是有插图的），而且新闻的呈现方式、尤其是电视新闻，很多时候都会削弱它试图传达的信息。读过尼尔·波兹曼的一些书之后（尤其是《娱乐至死》），我现在看电视新闻就觉得很诡异：前一分钟还在看灾难现场画面，下一分钟就跳到了体育赛事快讯或者广告。就像日常学习一样，我认为…
…acknowledge The Economist still has images) and presentation of news, especially on TV detracts from the message it's trying to convey a lot of the time. After reading some of Neil Postman's books (notably Amusing Ourselves to Death), I find it strange to watch televised news whereby one minute I'm watching footage of a disaster, then the next minute I'm seeing sports news updates or an advert. Just like normal learning, I think…
“娱乐至死”其实是尼尔·波兹曼一本神作的书名。看到做那张信息图的作者把它偷来当标题，我有点不爽。这是一本很棒的书，如果你喜欢思考这类的…
'Amusing Ourselves to Death' is actually the name of a great book by Neil Postman. I'm a little bothered by the author of that infographic stealing it for his title. It's a great book and if you like thinking about this kind of…
