| 説明 | As I consider this miscarriaged shot, I realize that it has a deep and slightly surreal meaning. It speaks to the proliferation of and our dependence on electronic infrastructure—and the potentially disastrous effects when something goes wrong.Like one always does, a particularly powerful Twilight Zone episode comes to mind. You should go watch it.In “Time Enough At Last,” a bookworm named Henry Bemis finally gets all the time in the world to read after the anti-intellectual world that he lives in ends in nuclear holocaust and leaves him as the only survivor.Tragedy strikes for Mr. Bemis though, when his eyeglasses accidentally fall and break—leaving him almost blind and thus unable to read and millions of books that he suddenly has the remainder of his lifetime to read.A comparison could be made between Mr. Bemis and his eyeglasses to our society and our technological infrastructure, which plays the role of our 21st century eyeglasses.When our technology falters or gets unplugged, it is akin to our glasses beginning to scratch and crack.And when our glasses finally shatter, we are left with no way to consume the wealth of information before us.When stories like the delicious debacle, tumblr’s outages, the old 1984 Kindle Purging and the KIN STUDIO’s death come about, I am reminded about the risks of relying on the cloud and just how easy it is for our glasses to get “sunseted” against our will at a moment’s notice.This is the inherent problem with the cloud—there’s no guarantee that the weather won’t change and blow it away. |
