Text A
Maia Szalavitz, formerly a television procer, now spends her time as a
writer. In this essay she explores digital reality and its consequences. Along
the way, she compares the digital world to the "real" world, acknowledging the
attractions of the electronic dimension.
A VIRTUAL LIFE
Maia
Szalavitz
After too long on the Net, even a phone call can be a shock.
My boyfriend's Liverpool accent suddenly becomes 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 becomes fluid — hours
become 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 procer, I have done much of my work as a
telecommuter. I submit articles and edit them via email and communicate with
colleagues on Internet mailing lists. My boyfriend lives in England, so much of
our relationship is also computer-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 become 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 become the Net critics' worst nightmare.
What
first seemed like a luxury, crawling from bed to computer, not worrying about
hair, and clothes and face, has become a form of escape, a lack of discipline.
And once you start replacing real human contact with cyber-interaction, coming
back out of the cave can be quite difficult.
I find myself shyer, more
cautious, 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 comforting, but then I'm jarred by the commercials. 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 I relied so much on
co-workers for company. I began to understand why long-term unemployment can be
so damaging, why life without an externally supported daily 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
house and 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
conversation in the restaurant, unbearable. I make my excuses and flee. I
re-enter my apartment and run to the computer 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.

1. Read aloud paragraphs 10-13 and
learn them by heart.
2. Read aloud the following poem:
Happily
Addicted to the Web
Doorbell rings, I'm not listening,
From my
mouth, drool is glistening,
I'm happy — although
My parents are not —
Happily addicted to the Web.
All night long, I sit clicking,
Unaware time is ticking,
There's heard on my cheek,
Same clothes for
a week,
Happily addicted to the Web.
Friends come by; they shake me,
Saying, "Yo, man!
Don't you know tonight's senior prom"
With a
shrug, I replied, "No, man;
I just discovered letterman-dot-com!"
I
don't phone, don't send faxes,
Don't go out, don't pay taxes,
Who cares
if someday
They drag me away
I'm happily addicted to the Web!
3.
Read the following quotations. Learn them by heart if you can. You might need to
look up new words in a dictionary.
Man is still the most extraordinary
computer of all.
—— John F, Kennedy
A computer does not substitute
for judgment any more than a pencil substitutes for literacy. But writing
without a pencil is no particular advantage.
—— Robert S, McNamara
A
computer will do what you tell it to do, but that may be much different from
what you had in mind.
—— Joseph Weizenbaum
4. Read the following
humorous story for fun:
An lllinois man left the snow-filled streets of
Chicago for a vacation in Florida. His wife was on a business trip and was
planning to meet him there the next day. When he reached his hotel, he decided
to send his wife a quick email.
Unfortunately, when typing her address,
he missed one letter, and his note was directed instead to an elderly preacher's
wife whose husband had passed away only the day before. When the grieving widow
checked her mail, she took one look at the monitor, let out a piercing scream,
and fell to the floor in a dead Faint.
At the sound, her family rushed
into the room and saw this note on the screen:
Dearest Wife,
Just
got checked in. Everything prepared for your arrival tomorrow.
P.S. Sure
is hot down here.

When you go to the doctor, you like to come away with a prescription. It makes you feel betterto know you will get some medicine. But the doctor knows that medicine is not always needed. Sometimes all a sick person needs is some reassurance that all will be well. In such cases the doctor may prescribe a placebo. <p>
2 A placebo is a sugar pill, a harmless shot, or an empty capsule. Even though they have no medicine in them, these things seem to make people well. The patient thinks it is medicine and begins to get better. How does this happen? <p>
3 The study of the placebo opens up new knowledge about the way the human body can heal itself. It is as if there was a doctor in each of us. The "doctor" will heal the body for us if we let it. <p>
4 But it is not yet known just how the placebo works to heal the body. Some people say it works because the human mind fools itself. These people say that if the mind is fooled into thinking it got medicine, then it will act as if it did, and the body will feel better. <p>
5 Other people say this is not so. They say that the placebo makes the wish to get better become reality. The placebo will not work if the patient knows it is a placebo. This shows that the body is not fooled by it. It seems that if patients think they have been given medicine, they will have hope. They feel that they are getting some help. This gives them a stronger will to get better, and that is what helps to heal them. <p>
6 Placebos do not always work. The success of this treatment seems to rest a lot with the relationship between the patient and the doctor. If the patient has a lot of trust in the doctor and if the doctor really wants to help the patient, then the placebo is more likely to work. So in a way, the doctor is the most powerful placebo of all.<p>
7 An example of the doctor's role in making the placebo work can be seen in this study. Some patients with bleeding ulcers were put in two groups. The first group were told by a doctor that they had been given a new drug which, it was hoped, would give them some relief. The second group were told by a nurse that they had been given a new drug but that not much was known about how it would work. As a result, 70 percent of the people in the first group got much better. Only 25 percent of the people in the second group got better. And both groups had in fact been given the same thing a placebo. <p>
8 The placebo has been found to work with a lot of different cases. It helps such things as seasickness, coughs, colds, and even pain after an operation. And there was an experiment done to see if a placebo could help old people stay healthy and live longer. <p>
9 The test was done in Romania with 150 people over the age of 60. They were put in three groups with 50 people in each group. The first group were given nothing at all. The second group were given a placebo. The third group were given a real drug and told that it would help with the problems of old age. (In fact, it was not a drug for old age at all.) The three groups were studied for many years. The first group showed no changes from the way old people in that village had always been. The second group (with the placebo) had much better health and a lower death rate. The third group (with the real drug) showed much the same results as the group that took the placebo. <p>
10 A placebo can also have bad effects. If patients expect a bad reaction to medicine, then they will also show a bad reaction to the placebo. This would seem to show that a lot of how you react to medicine is in your mind rather than in your body. Some doctors still think that if the placebo can have bad effects it should never be used. They think there is still not enough known about it. <p>
11 And yet, the use of the placebo has been well known for hundreds of years in other countries. Tribal doctors in some African countries have known for a long time that patients will get better if they think they are going to. Many of the "treatments" they use do not seem able to make a sick person better, and yet such treatments work. <p>
12 The strange power of the placebo does seem to suggest that the human mind is stronger than we think it is. There are people who say you can heal your body by using your mind. And the interesting thing is that even people who swear this is not possible have been healed by a placebo.
