I am going to introduce a new survival approach in my forthcoming book on Laws of the Media and I hope that readers will offer many improvements to this method. In the meantime, I suggest that it is possible to notice, to understand, the effects of any technology, whether new or old, by applying these four questions to the situation:
1. What does the technology amplify, enhance, or enlarge?
2. What does it obsolesce?
3. What does it retrieve or bring back from a distant past? ( probably something that was scrapped earlier).
4. What does it flip or suddenly reverse into when pushed to its limits?
我将在即将出版的《媒介定律》一书中介绍一种新的继续生存的方法,我希望读者能对这种方法提出许多改进。同时,我建议,将这四个问题应用到情境中,就有可能注意并理解任何技术——无论新旧——的作用影响后果:
1, 这一技术放大、增强或扩大了什么?
2, 它使什么过时?
3, 它从遥远的过去恢复或带回了什么?(可能是先前被废弃的东西)
4, 当它被推向极致时,它会翻转或突然反转成什么?
按:麦氏夫子自道,他总结媒介四定律,是为书面-机械人找到在电子环境里继续生存的方法。他希望读者能够改进他这一总结。
麦氏这一总结有助于提示人们注意技术的影响。可惜,这还是在慢信息条件下用书面-机械的套路所作的总结,麦氏把任何技术从技术总括中脱离成孤立技术来说技术的影响,人们应当看到所有技术形成的大漩涡,在这漩涡中各自做水手,找到各自的生存之道。
