In this essay sheexplores digital reality and its consequences. Along the way, she pares the digital world to the "real" world, acknowledging the attractions of the electronic dimension.A VIRTUAL LIFE Maia SzalavitzAfter too long on the Net, even a phone call can be a shock. My boyfriend's Liverpool accent suddenly bees impossible to interpret after his easily understood words on screen; a secretary's clipped tone seems more rejecting than I'd imagined it would be. Time itself bees fluid — hours bee minutes, or seconds stretch into days. Weekends, once a highlight of my week, are now just two ordinary days. For the last three years, since I stopped working as a television producer, I have done much of my work as a telemuter. I submit articles and edit them via email and municate with colleagues on Internet mailing lists. My boyfriend lives in England, so much of our relationship is also puter-assisted. If I desired, I could stay inside for weeks without wanting anything. I can order food, and manage my money, love and work. In fact, at times I have spent as long as three weeks alone at home, going out only to get mail and buy newspapers and groceries.I watched most of the endless snowstorm of'96 on TV. But after a while, life itself begins to feel unreal.I start to feel as though I've bee one with my machines, taking data in, spitting them back out, just another link in the Net. Others on line report the same symptoms. We start to feel an aversion to outside forms of socializing. We have bee the Net critics' worst nightmare. What first seemed like a luxury, crawling from bed to puter, not worrying about hair, and clothes and face, has bee a form of escape, a lack of discipline. And once you start replacing real human contact with cyber-interaction, ing back out of the cave can be quite difficult. I find myself shyer, morecautious, more anxious. Or, conversely, when suddenly confronted with real live humans, I get overexcited, speak too much, interrupt. I constantly worry if I am dressed appropriately, that perhaps I've actually forgotten to put on a skirt and walked outside in the T-shirt and underwear I sleep and live in. At times, I turn on the television and just leave it to talk away in the background, something that I'd never done previously. The voices of the programs are forting, but then I'm jarred by the mercials. I find myself sucked in by soap operas, or needing to keep up with the latest news and the weather. "Dateline," "Frontline," "Nightline," CNN, New York 1, every possible angle of every story over and over and over, even when they are of no possible use to me. Work moves into the background. I decide to check my email. On line, I find myself attacking everyone in sight. I am bad-tempered, and easily angered. I find everyone on my mailing list insensitive, believing that they've forgotten that there are people actually reading their wounding remarks. I don't realize that I'm projecting until after I've been embarrassed by someone who politely points out that I've attacked her for agreeing with me. When I'm in this state, I fight my boyfriend as well, misinterpreting his intentions because of the lack of emotional cues given by our typed dialogue. The fight takes hours, because the system keeps crashing. I say a line, then he does, then crash! And yet we keep on, doggedly. I'd never realized how important daily routine is: dressing for work, sleeping normal hours. I'd never thought Irelied so much on co-workers for pany. I began to understand why long-term unemployment can be so damaging, why life without an externally supporteddaily plan can lead to higher rates of drug abuse, crime, suicide. To restore balance to my life, I force myself back into the real world. I call people,arrange to meet with the few remaining friends who haven't fled New York City. I try to at least get to the gym, so as to set apart the weekend from the rest of my week. I arrange interviews for stories, doctor's appointments — anything to get me out of the houseand connected with others. But sometimes being face to face is too much. I see a friend and her ringing laughter is intolerable — the noise of conversationin the restaurant, unbearable. I make my excuses and flee. I re-enter my apartment and run to the puter as though it were a place of safety. I click on the modem, the once-annoying sound of the connection now as pleasant as my favorite tune. I enter my password. The real world disappears.

Cultural Notes1. the Internet: an international computer network for the exchange of information. It was originally used mainly in the academic and military worlds but has since become available to the large and increasing number of people with personal computers. Other services, e.g. the World Wide Web, are available through it.The Internet is changing our lives and a parallel universe is rapidly emerging online. Today there’s scarcely an aspect of our life that isn’t being upended by the torrent of information available on the hundreds of millions of sites crowding the Internet, not to mention its ability to keep us in constant touch with each other via electronic mail. The Internet is saving companies billions of dollars in producing goods and serving the needs of their customers. Nothing like it has been seen since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, when power-driven machines began producing more in a day than men could turn out in nearly a year. The Internet and e-commerce are viewed as a global megatrend along the lines of the printing press, the telephone, the computer and the electricity.You would be hard pressed to name something that isn’t available on the Internet. Consider: books, health care, movie tickets, baby clothes, stocks, real estate, toys and airline tickets. American kids today are so computer savvy that it virtually ensures the United States will remain the unchallenged leader in cyberspace for the foreseeable future. Most kids use computers to play games and have email chats with friends.What’s clear is that, whether we like it or not, the Internet is an ever-growing part of our lives and there is no turning back. 2.

Our only link to the real world has been a computer that is hooked up to the Internet (联网电脑). We have relied on it, not only for food, bed sheets and other daily necessities, but also to set up an e-business (电子商务) of our own.2) Now Ss will complete the paragraph beginning with: “Now it is time for me to walk outinto the light of day again…” They will give their imagination full play. They will write no more than 100 words.3) Ss form groups of four to five, and read aloud to each other their own writings.4) T asks some groups to recommend the best piece in their group to the class.4.T may lead in to Text A by saying: Some of us like to live a life in contact with real things andreal people, but others favor a virtual exist ence.

(45 minutes)3.T guides Ss through Structure Exercise 2. (10 minutes)4.Ss re-read Paras 4-10, work in pairs to find out consequences of “my” virtual life.

(5 minutes)Post reading tasksputer-related vocabulary items (20 minutes)1)Ss scan Text A to find out vocabulary items to computer and the Internet. (They are:virtual life, the net, telecommuter, email, Internet mailing lists, computer-assisted, data, link, cyber-interaction, on line, system cash, click on the modem, connection, password)2)T tells Ss that new terms related to computer and the Internet are constantly added tothe English vocabulary, so much so that many of them are not included in any English dictionary. However, if we apply certain rules, their meanings are easy to deduce.3)T gives Ss more examples of computer-related vocabulary items (see Text Analysis)2.T guides Ss through some after-text exercises. (25 minutes)3.T checks on Ss’ home reading (Text B). (3 minutes)4.Ss do Part IV: Theme-Related Language Learning Tasks.

Text AnalysisThe most dynamic combining forms/prefixes for new computer-and-Internet-related vocabulary in /English are cyber-, virtual, net- (net-), Web- (web-), and E- (e-).New English vocabulary items derived from them usually appear in the following forms:bining forms/prefixes+ noun: this is the most common type, e.g. virtual life（虚拟生活）,virtual world（虚拟世界）virtual reality（虚拟现实）,cyber-interaction（网络互动）,cyberculture（网络文化）, cybernut（网虫）,cyberpet（电子宠物）,cyberspace（网络空间）, netwriter（放送电子邮件的人）, nethead（网虫）, Webmaster（网站维护者）, Web page（网页）, Website（网站）, WebTV（网络电视机）,E-book（电子书籍）,E-shopper （网上购物者）, e-card（电子贺卡）,e-journal（电子杂志）,e-business（电子商务）, e-cash （电子货币）, e-commerce（电子商务）.bining forms/prefixes + verb: e.g. cybersurf（网络漫游）, netsurf（网络漫游）, websurf,（网络漫游），email （发送电子邮件）3.words like cyber, net, etc. + suffix: e.g. cyberian(网络用户)，cyberphobia（电脑恐惧症）cybernaut (网络用户)，netter（网民）Webify（使万维网化）cyberize（使联网）4.clipped word: cyberdoc（网络医生），Netcast（网络播放）, Netiquette（网规）, Netizen（网民），Netpreneur（网络企业家）Webcam（网络摄象机），Webcasting（网络播放）Webliography（网络书目）, Webnomics（网络经济），Webzine网络杂志），e- tailing （电子零售）, e-zine（电子杂志）.III. Cultural Notes1.The Internet:an international computer network for the exchange of information. It wasoriginally used mainly in the academic and military worlds but has since become available to the large and increasing number of people with personal computers. Other services, e.g. the World Wide Web, are available through it.The Internet is changing our lives and a parallel universe is rapidly emerging online. Today there is scarcely an aspect of our life that isn’t being upended by the torrent of information available on the hundreds of millions of sites crowding the Internet, not to mention its saving companies billions of dollars in producing goods and serving the needs of their customers.Nothing like it has been seen since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, when power-driven machines began producing more in a day than men could turn out in nearly a year. The Internet and e-commerce are viewed as a global megatrend along the lines of the printing press, the telephone, the computer and the electricity.You would be hard pressed to name something that isn’t available on the Internet.Consider: books, health care, movie tickets, baby clothes, stocks, real estate, toys and airline tickets. American kids today are so computer savvy that it virtually ensures the United States will remain the unchallenged leader in cyberspace for the foreseeable future. Most kids use computers to play games and have email chats with friends.What’s clear is that, whatever we like it or not, the Internet is an ever-growing part of our lives and there is no turning back.2.NBC (the National Broadcasting Company):the first of the original three US nationalbroadcasting companies. It was established in 1926 by Radio Corporation of America as two groups of radio stations. The first NBC television channel opened in 1940. The company is now owned by General Electric. Its main offices are at Rockefeller Center in New York.3.PBS ( the Public Broadcasting Services):(in the US) a television system that broadcastsprograms to an association of local stations which use no television advertisements and do not make a profit. It was established by the Public Broadcasting Act and is supported by money from the US Government, large companies and the public. PBS is known for the high quality of its programs.4.ABC ( the American Broadcasting Company):one of the original three major televisionnetworks in American. It began in 1943 as the Blue Networks of six radio stations. ABC is now owned by the Walt Disney Company.IV. Language Study1.virtual: 1) created and existing only in a computer 虚拟的can visit a virtual store and put what I want in my basket at the click of a mouse button. Some people spend too much time escaping from reality into the virtual world conjuring up on their computer screens.2) being or acting as what is described, but not accepted as such in name or officially 差不多的，实质上的He claimed to be a virtual prisoner in his own home.The world’s governments have done virtually nothing to combat the threat of nuclear accidents.virtual world 虚拟世界virtual community虚拟社区virtual pet虚拟宠物virtual reality 虚拟现实2.interpret: 1) make clear the meaning of (either in words or by artistic performance) 解释，说明Poetry helps to interpret life.The professor tried to interpret the difficult passage in the book.2) consider to be the meaning of 认为是……的意思She interprets the dream as an unconscious desire to be young again.We interpreted his silence as a refusal.They are worried that the students might interpret the new regulation as a restriction of their rights.3) translate what is said in one language into another 作口译No one in the tour group spoke Spanish so we had to ask the guide to interpret.He worked as a interpreter at the UN’ s World Summit on Sustainable Development.他在联合国可持续发展大会上担任口译。

上海外语教育出版社大学英语综合教程2 unit4 The virtual world精品PPT课件
With the help of the Internet and the popularization of computers, shopping on the Internet has become a commonplace in our life. Here consumers can buy almost everything they need.
However, shopping on the Internet also has its disadvantages. The first disadvantage is that the consumers can't see the goods or try them on personally. Sometimes, the real goods may not be the same as what they have seen on the computer. The second disadvantage is that some shops on the Internet are not registered. These shops merely aim at defrauding the customers of their money.
Shopping on the Internet has a lot of advantages, of which the most important is perhaps its convenience. People don't have to waste a lot of their energy and precious time to go from one shop to another to choose the commodities they like. This is especially desirable to the old, the sick and the busy people who cannot go to the shops in person. The goods come in all shapes, sizes and colors on the Internet. All they need to do is to sit in front of their computers and click the mouse.

Cultural NotesInternet: an international computer network for the exchange of information. It was originallyused mainly in the academic and military worlds but has since become available to thelarge and increasing number of people with personal computers. Other services, . the WorldWide Web, are available through it.The Internet is changing our lives and a parallel universe is rapidly emerging online. Today there is scarcely an aspect of our life that isn ’ t being upended by the torrent of information available on the hundreds of millions of sites crowding the Internet, not to mention itssaving companies billions of dollars in producing goods and serving the needs of theircustomers. Nothing like it has been seen since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, whenpower-driven machines began producing more in a day than men could turn out in nearly ayear. The Internet and e-commerce are viewed as a global megatrend along the lines of theprinting press, the telephone, the computer and the electricity.You would be hard pressed to name something that isn ’availablet on the Internet.Consider: books, health care, movie tickets, baby clothes, stocks, real estate, toys and airlinetickets. American kids today are so computer savvy that it virtually ensures the United Stateswill remain the unchallenged leader in cyberspace for the foreseeable future. Most kids usecomputers to play games and have email chats with friends.What’ s clear is that, whatever we like it or not, the Internet is an ever-growing part of our lives and there is no turning back.2.NBC (the National Broadcasting Company): the first of the original three US nationalbroadcasting companies.
