元宇宙真的会改变我们与世界的关系么？
欢迎大家回到我们与Adam Alter教授访谈的第二部分。
在本期的节目中，Adam Alter教授和大家分享了更多关于科技和社会环境中很多因素对于成年人和儿童成长的影响。这些无处不在的因素，在不知不觉中影响着我们。屏幕，交互，虚拟，现实，增强技术，再到元宇宙，我们的生活似乎一直在被科技推动，这中间当然有很多的益处，但Alter教授提醒我们，我们如何有意识地思考和运用这些内容，才是最关键的。
“不能控制自己放下手机，是很可怕的。” 这其实是一个意识和行为之间的问题。这会影响你，影响你的孩子，影响你对你的孩子的教育。所以深入的了解问题的关键，就非常重要了。
“元宇宙并不是一个新的概念，虚拟现实和增强现实已经让我们对这一技术有所感受，但是真正意义上的元宇宙，需要人工智能技术成熟到可以让大家在不同时间和空间共享五感，才会得以实现。到了那个时候，那样的世界可比现在手机给你带来的世界会更加难以抗拒。“
另外，教授还谈到了影响我们的很多社会因素，比如在科技时代“如何帮助你的孩子适量使用电子产品，如何帮助年幼的孩童分清虚拟世界和现实世界，从而在他们的大脑和行为成长方面有正向的引导；比如为什么往往住在低楼层的孩子成绩往往会比高楼层的差？
这些我们都有烦恼，又不知道该如何去解答的问题，教授为大家提供了不一样的思路。
Adam Alter是纽约大学市场营销学和心理学的教授，主要研究方向是科技和行为成瘾之间的关系。他的两本著作《Drank, Tank, Pink》和《Irresistible》均是纽约时报的畅销书籍，他关于屏幕成瘾的TED演说，让他在互联网上迅速传播。Alter教授是多家知名媒体的特邀专栏作家，包括纽约时报，纽约客，华盛顿邮报以及大西洋月刊。
With the development of virtual realities and other novelties seeking to amaze us, it almost seemed inevitable that we would grow dependent upon technology.
And the pandemic didn’t make it easier to for those who wish for a more retro lifestyle.
Asked how he managed to not lose himself in screens during the pandemic, Professor of marketing at New York University’s Stern School of Business Adam Alter said we should first imagine the pandemic in the 1950s.
“People were sitting inside all day doing almost nothing. They couldn’t connect to anyone outside, and communication was relatively basic,” he says.
“So we are lucky to have screens, as they have made it possible to work and to connect to those who we love but couldn’t see in person.
“The fact that we can’t switch them off is a problem. Ultimately it’s better to have them than not during the pandemic, doing more good for us than it normally would, though it does underscore how relying we are on them.”
Continuing from our last conversation, Alter discussed his first book “Drunk Tank Pink (2013)” and his upcoming book “Escape Velocity,” while shedding more light on the impact that technology and other environmental influences have on people and the younger generation.
Leading us to the question of how to cultivate creativity, Alter said, “Creativity is critical in helping us from being stuck, especially in a time when so many of us are not living our most desirable way, it’s hard to be creative when you don’t feel happy the whole time. And when we become stuck, it feels to us like some big, personal affront. We question how it happens, how terrible it feels, and it feels like you’re unique, but it’s an absolutely universal experience.
