Isizathu esimangalisayo sokuthi kungani amafoni nezinkundla zokuxhumana zilapha ukuze zihlale

Phakathi kwemithi yokugoma emikhulu, izitho zokwenziwa kanye nesayensi yezokwelapha eziqhubekela phambili ngezinga elingenakuqhathaniswa, abanye ososayensi bakholelwa ukuthi ngonyaka ka-2045 ukuguga kungase kungabi yinto ekhathazayo. Izibalo ukubikezela ukuthi singaphila isilinganiso seminyaka engama-80 noma ngaphezulu. Ngokuthuthuka kwezobuchwepheshe obusha nesayensi yezokwelapha, abantu kulindeleke ukuthi bangagcini nje ngokuphila isikhathi eside, kodwa baxhumeke kakhulu ngokwedijithali kunangaphambili. Kusho ukuthini lokhu kubantu abaseminyakeni yabo-20 nasekuqaleni kwengama-30? Ngokokuqala ngqa, isizukulwane sabadala sizocwiliswa ngokuphelele ezinkundleni zokuxhumana nobuchwepheshe.

Ngabe lesi kuzoba yisizukulwane sokuqala sabantu abadala abasazoba nama-akhawunti asebenzayo we-twitter? Kungenzeka. Abanye abantu bakholelwa ukuthi isizukulwane sethu sobuchwepheshe ngeke sibe into edlula i-geriatrics enamathiselwe ezikrinini, singenisa inkathi yokusondela ekuthuleni. Abanye banethemba elikhulu, bakholelwa ukuthi ukuphila kuzoqhubeka njengoba kwenza njalo.

Kwethulwa Omakhalekhukhwini Ngekusasa

Uma abantu becabangela ubuso obusha bokuxhumana, izithombe zento engekho ngokoqobo ziyafika engqondweni. Nakuba manje ikhona indlela yokubikezela ukuthi ikusasa liyoba yini ngempela, izitayela zamanje zinikeza ukubukeka okucacile okuzayo. Ngokunokwenzeka, ikusasa lizobandakanya amafoni ethu, noma okungenani ubuchwepheshe obufanayo. Ocwaningweni lwakamuva olwenziwe ngu Umshwalense Weselula, kwembulwa ukuthi umuntu ovamile uchitha “izinsuku ezingafinyelela kwezingu-23 ngonyaka neminyaka engu-3.9 yokuphila [kwabo] egqolozele isikrini sefoni yakhe.” Lolu cwaningo lwakhiwe ngabantu abangu-2,314, iningi labo elivumile ukuthi bachitha okungenani imizuzu engama-90 emafonini abo nsuku zonke. Imiphumela iphinde yabonisa ukuthi u-57% wabantu abanaso isidingo sewashi le-alamu, kuyilapho u-50% bengasawagqoki amawashi njengoba "omakhalekhukhwini babo [sebe] yinketho yabo yokuqala yokwazi ukuthi isikhathi sini." 

Omakhalekhukhwini bakhona ukuze bahlale, hhayi ngenxa yokuthumelelana imiyalezo, ukuthwebula izithombe noma amathoni okukhala okushintshwayo, kodwa ngenxa yokuthi sebephenduke inkundla yezokuxhumana. Shel Holtz, umxhumanisi webhizinisi ogunyaziwe, uchaza ukuthi kungani eseyinsika futhi cishe azoba ingxenye yendlela esixhumana ngayo nasebudaleni. Holtz uthi, “emhlabeni wonke, abantu abayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezintathu bane-Internet besebenzisa omakhalekhukhwini,” ebonisa nendlela “ukukhula komakhalekhukhwini okuvela emazweni angenayo ingqalasizinda.” Ngokunembayo, abantu bomhlaba wokuqala baxhuma emhlabeni obazungezile ngaphandle kokusebenzisa amakhompyutha aphathekayo noma amakhompyutha.

Zonke izizukulwane ziyakhula zisebenzisa amafoni ukwenza imisebenzi evamile--yonke into kusukela ekuhloleni i-imeyili kuya ekubukeni imibiko yesimo sezulu. UHoltz uchaza ukuthi ngo-2015 e-U.S., “abanikazi bamaselula angu-40% basebenzisa izinto zabo ukuze bangene engosini yokuxhumana nabantu,” okwenza kucace ukuthi kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ikusasa lokuxhumana lilethelani, omakhalekhukhwini noma ubuchwepheshe obuqhathaniswayo buhambisana nathi.

Kungani Lokhu Kungaba Into Enhle

Uma sibhekene neqiniso labantu abaphila isikhathi eside futhi bethambekele esikrinini, kulula ukucabanga ukuthi sibheke emphakathini wabantu abadala abaxhumeke ngokuphelele . Okuxakayo, owesifazane oyedwa akathembi nje ukuthi lokhu kuzokwenzeka, kodwa angakwazi nokuchaza ukuthi kungani lokhu kulutheka kwedijithali kungase kube okungcono kakhulu. U-May Smith akayena oweqisayo noma i-techno junkie, ungowesifazane oneminyaka engu-91 nje ubudala. USmith unolwazi olunzulu ngomhlaba omzungezile, futhi uthi wazi okwengeziwe ngomhlaba nokuxhumana kunabanye. Kungani? Eqinisweni, ngoba ukubonile konke: ukwethuka ukuthi ithelevishini izobhubhisa i-cinema, ukukhuphuka nokuwa kwama-pagers, ukuzalwa kwe-intanethi. 

USmith uthemba ukuthi sizoqhubeka nokuhlala sixhumekile ezinkundleni zokuxhumana nobuchwepheshe ngenxa yethiyori anayo. USmith uthi: “Kungumzamo omkhulu kakhulu ukuzondana nokulwa ningenzi lutho, inzondo inzima, kodwa ukubekezelela wonke umuntu kulula kakhulu kunalokho okubonakala.” Ekugcineni, uSmith ukholelwa ukuthi, “abantu ekugcineni bazocikwa ukuthukuthela, babone ukuthi kuwukumosha isikhathi futhi basakaze lowo mlayezo emishinini yabo.” Okungenani yilokho alithembayo. “Kusazoba namakhehla athukuthele aklabalasa ngezinto eziwumfeketho,” eqhubeka, “kodwa abantu abaningi bazobona ukuthi kuyimisebenzi yokuthula nje.” 

Noma kunjalo, uSmith uyaqiniseka ukuthi ayikho ingozi yokuthi isintu silawulwe ngokuphelele ngamadivaysi abo kagesi. “Abantu bazohlale bedinga ukuba phakathi kwabantu ngokomzimba,” uyachaza, “Ngiyazi ukuthi iSkype nomakhalekhukhwini kuhle ekuxhumaneni, futhi ngiyazi ukuthi esikhathini esizayo singaxhumana kakhulu, kodwa abantu basadinga ukuxhumana ubuso nobuso. ” 

Ongoti kwezokuxhumana nezinkambu zobuchwepheshe zesikhathi esizayo zinemibono nezibikezelo ezifanayo. UPatrick Tucker, umhleli we I-Futurist , ubhale izindatshana ezingaphezu kuka-180 mayelana nobuchwepheshe besikhathi esizayo kanye nemithelela yabo. Ukholelwa ukuthi ikusasa lezinkundla zokuxhumana kanye nokuxhumana nge-inthanethi kuzosondeza abantu ndawonye, ​​ngokomzimba. NgokukaTucker, “ngonyaka ka-2020 sizobe sesithole ukusetshenziswa okungcono kakhulu kwezinkundla zokuxhumana: ukukhulula abantu emahhovisi. Singayisebenzisa kangcono ukusiza ubudlelwano bomsebenzi ukuze abantu bachithe isikhathi esiningi bekhona abantu ababathandayo.”
