波兹曼担心技术将使人类丧失思考能力,比如电视技术的发展,直至他们消亡。在他的著作《娱乐至死》中,波兹曼提出形式决定内容。在形式与内容两分法的传统思维中,形式总是被内容决定的。形式的无足轻重不但表现在它必须依附内容而存在,而且还要根据内容随时调整自己,以便更好地服务于内容。本文为波兹曼的《娱乐至死》的阅读札记,希望能对西方电视媒体对人类是否会“娱乐至死”造成的影响提出一些浅显的见解。 Bozman fears that technology will deprive humans of their ability to think, such as television technology, until they die. In his book “Amusement to Death,” Bozman proposes a formal decision. In the traditional way of dichotomy between form and content, form is always content. The form’s insignificance manifests itself not only in the fact that it must adhere to the content but also in the content itself at any moment in order to better serve the content. This essay is a reading of Bozeman’s “Entertaining to Death”, hoping to give some brief comments on whether the Western television media will have an impact on whether mankind will “die to death.”
