听众朋友你们好，欢迎来到茶时话中文，我是Penny。这是一个纯中文话题节目，我来和你用中文聊聊生活中有意思的话题，同时学习一些汉语词汇。让我们一边喝茶一边聊起来吧。

今天我们来聊聊社交媒体。这两年，不论是脸书facebook，推特Twitter 还是Instagram，或者是中国热门软件微信、微博，我们好像在上面花的时间越来越长了。社交软件的确是新颖又好玩，拓展了人际关系，能带给你大量的信息和层出不穷的体验，可是，它们也是有很多的弊端。

首先，它们减少了人们对于现实生活中交际的渴望。中国有一个新词叫“社恐”，也就是社交恐惧症，这个网络热词很好地描述了人们过度地依赖微信等软件，导致有些人逐渐失去了现实中人际交往的能力。有趣的是，很多公司也依赖这种聊天软件进行内部和外部的沟通，导致很多雇员宁愿发个消息，也不愿意站起来和现实中近在咫尺的同事沟通。这非常严重地让许多人减少了现实中的社交。

其次，社交软件的设计就是要抓取用户的注意力，当你的注意力成为了社交软件的消费品，你会发现，你很容易对它们上瘾。任何人都很难抗拒手机上跳出的通知和消息，因为它们通常来自于你的朋友。有一个方法是关闭通知提示，但是这也很难做到，因为你有可能漏掉重要的那一条消息。这种不想要又不能拒绝的感觉非常令人不适。甚至会有人排斥现实中的关系，每天沉浸在网络的社交中，因为真实的人际关系往往很难处理，更需要智慧和思考。

今天浅谈了一下社交媒体，或者社交软件的弊端。感谢收听。
希望你喜欢今天的播客，我们下次见。
