大人小孩之间"代沟"变"代圈"
对“代沟”这个词,我们已经相当熟悉了,说的是老一辈和年轻人对很多事物看法的不同。到了数字时代,这种代沟正在被“代圈”所取代,年轻人是所有技术的主角,老一辈人想用电脑还要年轻人来教。
We often hear about the "generation gap" that occurs between parents and children when it comes to music, morals, fashion and a host of other things.
我们总能听到父母和孩子之间存在“代沟”,音乐、道德准则、时尚以及很多事情上双方看法都不同。
Now there is a generation lap, the tendency for young people to be increasingly more technically 1 savvy 2 than their parents or elders. This gap exists in the use of technology where the young generation has become the authority, effectively flipping 3 the typical parental 4 and professional hierarchy 5 on its head in many respects。
如今,又出现一个“代圈”,指年轻人在技术应用方面的能力正逐步超过他们父辈。在年轻人已经成为主导的技术应用领域,这种差距已普遍存在,并且已经在很多方面颠覆了传统的由父辈掌控一切的局面。
They're not just ahead of their parents in the way they use technology, they've lapped their parents and are working at a whole new level. That's why there is an unbelievable example from Finland where the government has hand-selected 5000 Net Generations to train the country's teachers how to use computers. The students are the teachers and the teachers will be the students。
在技术应用方面,这一代年轻人不只是超过了父辈,而且是已经远远领先在前,到了一个全新的工作层面。所以芬兰才会有这样让人不可思议的一个举动,政府精心挑选出5000名新生代网络达人,让他们教本国教师使用电脑。学生变身为老师,而老师则变身为学生。
