Consensus about screens
矽谷精英禁子女玩手機
The people who are closest to a thing are often the most waryof it. Technologists know how phones really work, and many have decided they don't want their own children anywhere near them.
對一件事物最瞭解的人往往也對其最警惕。技術專傢們知道手機的運作原理,所以許多人拿定主意,絕不讓自己的孩子靠近手機。
A warinessthat has been slowlybrewingis turning into aregionwideconsensus in Silicon Valley: The benefits of screens as a learning tool areoverblown, and the risks for addiction andstuntingdevelopment seem high. Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, said earlier this year that he would not let his nephew join social networks.
在矽谷,一種一直在緩慢發酵的警覺正在變成地區性共識:屏幕產品作為學習工具的好處被誇大瞭,上癮和阻礙孩子發育的風險似乎很高。蘋果首席執行官蒂姆•庫克今年早些時候表示,他不會讓自己的侄子上社交網絡。
Bill Gates banned cellphones until his children were teenagers. "On the scale between candy and crackcocaine,it's closer to crack cocaine," Chris Anderson, the former editor of Wired, said of screens. "We thought we could control it. But it's beyond our power to control. This is going straight to the pleasure centers of the developing brain."
比爾•蓋茨禁止他的孩子在十幾歲前使用手機。《連線》前主編克裡斯•安德森這麼形容屏幕產品:"在糖果和快克可卡因之間,它更接近後者。我們以為能控制它,但它已經超越瞭我們的控制能力。它能直接抵達正在發育的大腦的愉悅中樞。"

荷蘭男子申請改小年齡
A 69-year-old Dutch man has launched a legal battle to change his age. Emile Ratelband wants to shift his birthday from March 11, 1949 to March 11, 1969, comparing the change to identifying as being as transgender.
荷蘭一名69歲的男子發起瞭一場法律訴訟,要求改變自己的年齡。埃米爾•拉特爾班德想把自己的生日從1949年3月11日改為1969年3月11日,還將改年齡和變性人改性別相提並論。
"We live in a time when you can change your name and change your gender. Why can't I decide my own age?" he said. Ratelband argues he feels discriminated against because of his age, and that it was affecting his employment chances and his success rate on the dating app, Tinder.
他說:"在我們生活的時代,你可以改名字,改性別,那為什麼我不能改年齡?"拉特爾班德稱,他感覺自己因為年齡而受到瞭歧視,而這影響瞭他的就業機會和在約會應用Tinder上的成功率。
He also said he would renouncehis pension if he switched his birth date. A local court in the eastern city of Arnhem is expected to rule on the case within four weeks.
他還說,如果能改變出生日期,他願意放棄養老金。荷蘭東部阿納姆市的地方法院將會在四周內對此案做出判決。
However officials were skepticalabout the case, believing there was no legalmechanismallowing a person to change their birth date, local reports said. One of the judges wanted to know what would become of the 20 years that Ratelband wanted to erase. "Who were your parents looking after then? Who was that little boy?" he was quoted as saying.
不過當地報道稱,法官們對這個案件持懷疑態度,認為目前的法律機制不允許一個人改變出生日期。其中一名法官想知道拉特爾班德想抹去的這20年要怎麼辦。報道援引該法官的話說:"你父母那時候照顧的是誰?當年的那個小男孩是誰?"
