還有人會發呆嗎?
發呆,這個詞已很少出現了。因為低頭族取代了一切,隨處可見人們捏著手機不知在搞什麼。
如果你晚上九、十點搭公車,你會發現補習下課的學子,跟你一起擠上車,搶先一屁股坐下,不是因為上課累了,是坐著比較好操作手機。
你靠近他好奇一下(不算偷看啦),手機上的畫面是一動漫少女,揮著裹在身上的彩布,若隱若現,學生賣力地觸動著螢幕,讓一種不明光點撲向那虛擬少女,彩布就隨著光點的落點一掀一蓋,一直重複。有意思嗎?
從等車、上車到下車,手指沒停過。
回想上一個世代,公車上大部分的孩子都揪著本教科書,不是念國文就是背英文單字,再不就打瞌睡、看窗外、發呆。從公車百態看這世界,變化太大了吧!
有了這把無所不能的工具,竟傳出老師在課堂上下載A片這等事。
不管做什麼,反正手不離機。也不知學校到底教了什麼,二十幾歲的年輕人聽不懂「三點一刻」是什麼意思;傳播碩士不知道唐寧街10號是幹嘛的。
有了各種電子產品,行動中有行動電話(其實,「電話」已是手機最低層次的功能了)、回到家裡有筆記電腦,網路內容無所不有、無遠弗屆,目不暇給、心為所趨。
沒有人稍事停頓、沒有人發呆思考。
想想,偉大的音樂、偉大的文學、偉大的繪畫都是什麼時代的事囉?
70年代的情歌有Something、Wonderful Tonight、For Emily.........字裡行間是有敘述有畫面的。現在呢?就說被讚譽又暢銷的I Will Always Love You吧,這一句大家都會,可笑的是,整首歌用喊的,喊來喊去,歌詞總共沒幾句,就死命的喊愛呀愛的,啥意境也沒。這也是媒體大肆吹捧的偉大「天后」的偉大歌曲。
偉大的古典音樂還是可數的貝多芬、蕭邦、巴哈、柴可夫司基.........幾位而已,沒有新增。
每每「動漫展」人滿為患,甚至一個虛擬少女「偶像」也可以開演唱會,粉絲趨之若騖。
人類已經演變成什麼動物啦?
SOMETHING The Beatles
Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around now it may show
I don't know, I don't know
Something in the way she knows
And all i have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
WONDERFUL TONIGHT Eric Clapton
It's late in the evening
She's wondering what clothes to wear
She puts on her make up
And brushes her long blonde hair
And then she asks me
Do I look alright
And I say yes, you look wonderful tonight
We go a party
And everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady
That's walking around with me
And then she asks me
Do you feel alright
And I say yes, I feel wonderful tonight
I feel wonderful
Because I see the love light in your eyes
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize
How much I love you
It's time to go home now
And I've got an aching head
So I give her the car keys
She helps me to bed
And then I tell her
As I turn out the light
I say my darling, you were wonderful tonight
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight
FOR EMILY, WHENEVER I MAY FIND HER Simon and Garfunkel
What a dream I had
Pressed in organdy
Clothed in crinoline
Of smoky burgundy
Softer than the rain
I wandered empty streets down
Past the shop displays
I heard cathedral bells
Dripping down the alleyways
As I walked on
And when you ran to me, your
Cheeks flushed with the night
We walked on frosted fields
Of juniper and lamplight
I held your hand
And when I awoke
And felt you warm and near
I kissed your honey hair
With my grateful tears
Oh, I love you girl
Oh, I love you
