[00:00.00]Topic 45 Do Modern People Become Lonelier? [00:06.92]Although Chinese people have gradually become wealthy [00:10.63]more or less due to the reform [00:12.02]and opening-up policy, [00:13.02]they have oftentimes been troubled [00:15.32]by a lack of friends [00:16.40]that they can take into their confidence. [00:18.48]This observation manifests itself most vividly [00:22.39]in a line cited from the movie. [00:24.11]If You Are the One, that is, [00:25.97]“I do not lack money but friends”. [00:28.67]Ironically, in the cell phone contact list [00:31.98]of an average person, [00:32.98]the number of cell phone numbers [00:34.86]may reach a couple of hundreds. [00:36.46]One can not help wondering [00:38.67]if modern people become lonelier than before. [00:40.71]Personally, I hold the opinion [00:43.38]that modern people do become lonelier than before. [00:46.21]Firstly, due to the urbanizing [00:50.17]process at an unprecedented speed, [00:52.54]the society becomes more mobile, [00:55.09]for more and more people [00:56.85]migrate from one city to another to seek fortune. [00:59.07]Nowadays people in cities [01:01.63]are consisted of migrate workers from rural areas, [01:05.14]college graduates in pursuit of their dreams, [01:07.40]businessmen across the country and the local. [01:10.94]Given the fact that people from different regions [01:14.20]have different subcultures, [01:15.53]people tend to reject people with different backgrounds. [01:18.47]Besides, as people are more interested in making money, [01:21.67]they are more likely to conflict in interest. [01:24.39]No wonder that circle of confidants [01:27.19]has shrunk dramatically [01:28.68]and the number of people with whom [01:30.52]to discuss important matters has spirally increased. [01:33.68]Secondly, while people are able to benefit [01:36.99]from the advancement of new technologies, [01:38.86]they are likely to depend more upon technologies [01:41.93]instead of friends. [01:43.01]Communication technologies such as the Internet [01:46.07]and phones let people stay in contact [01:48.41]with other people who are from remote areas, [01:50.71]and spend time on the phone [01:52.36]and the Internet communications [01:53.91]instead of dealing with people face to face. [01:56.00]Network games have gained their popularity [01:59.26]to such an extent [02:00.39]that many spend most of their spare time [02:02.74]in playing network games [02:03.64]and hence they become apathetic [02:06.32]to have a good time with friends [02:07.56]face to face. [02:08.70]That face time seems more likely to develop friendships. [02:13.09]As a result, [02:14.90]the reduced face time [02:16.69]would translate into a loose network between friends. [02:19.47]In sum, [02:20.85]urbanization has reduced the intimacy [02:23.70]between human beings [02:24.71]and makes them less likely to make friends [02:27.01]than in the past [02:28.40]and the advancement of modern technology [02:30.28]also makes people more apathetic [02:32.54]by reducing face-to-face contact with friends. [02:35.12]I hope people can regain the intimacy [02:37.99]between friends as before.
