Comments for 1.2 " Floating in the digital experience"：
Science and technology has changed this world dramatically. 24-hour online
has been the life of many teenagers today. Now we cannot live without
computers, which provide all kinds of information everyday and every time.
Moving-image entertainment changes our way of entertainment a lot. Now we
do not need to go to the cinema specifically to watch a movie. All we have to do
is sitting in the comfortable sofa and watch it in front of our personal computer. I
love watching films in my bed in such cold days recently. Of course, cinema is
still a good place of entertainment, especially for some special occasions and
special films. For example, the film 2012 is better to be watched before a large
screen with 3-D facility, which can bring out something amazing. In the near
future, our house might be filled with digital facilities. The wall might become a
three-dimensional screen covering all the rooms and we can enjoy life from all
around the world even without walking out of our house. There are beautiful
sunlight near the beach, snow cover on top of the mountain, bumper harvest in
the field and clean air in the thick forest. What an amazing world!~
However, while floating in the digital experience, there are other things we
should consider about besides the enjoyment. Because of the wide-spread of
personal computers, we are becoming more and more independent. The
frequency of face-to-face Interaction between people are dropping
dramatically, which lead to apathy between people. Another problem is that
people tend to stay at home and the activities outdoors are less and less,
which threaten the health of people.
All in all, the development of digital technology is a double-edged sword. We
should take the advantages of it and try our best to avoid the disadvantages.

COMMENT for 1.1
It is a situation about obligations and rights. Canada and other countries are competing for the ownership of the Arctic, which contains a lot of natural resources. However, what they should concern is not only the resources they would get from the Arctic, but also the environmental problems there.
With the development of economy and the increase of population, countries are scrabbling for the resourses left on earth. But in my point of view, such contest is ironic. We have only one earth. No matter wich country you come from, the earth is our only hometown, common hometown. People around the world are brothers and sisters. Because of the battles and unreasonable exploration of the natural resourses, we have wasted a lot of resourse and damaged our only hometown in a large scale. What we should do now is to join together to protect our only hometown, rather than wasting our time and energy again to compete with each other.

The world-wide economic crisis has threatened the whole world, especially the business world. Professors in business schools rethink profoundly about the MBA education. Many believe that the former way of business education overlooked the importance of management and entrepreneurship and pay too much attention on super-confident and gung-ho leader.
Although I am not a student of business or management, I have taken part in similar training and know something about the business education. We focus on the way to get the most interests, while little emphasis on the whole society, which might become one of the reasons for the economic crisis. I have talked with a friend who once had the chance to learn MBA in Harvard, who finally decided to drop out of the MBA class and started to learn humanism and philosophy. He once said jokingly that fortunately I dropped out of the MBA class, or I might have been one of the guilty persons who leads to the world-wide economic crisis. He told me that humanism and philosophy are better than MBA classes. When you learn humanism and philosophy, you learn about the whole human society and the interaction between different people. You learn how to deal with people, which is the most important factor in management. You learn to behave considering different point of views. You learn the essence of human nature psychology. After such training, your teamwork-based leadership will not overlook the importance of interaction between different people and self-awareness will be avoided.
So in my opinion, managers need to learn more about humanism and philosophy. Or the business education should add more such courses. It is not their knowledge of finance and business that lead to their poor decision, but the lack of knowledge of humanism and philosophy.

COMMENT:
After reading the article, another image comes to me, that is, the aliens. Whether there are aliens out of our planet? It is a mystry which confused all the humanity for a long time. There are science fictions depicting the pictures and stories of aliens who come from the outer space and aim to attack earth. We have a plenty of examples when science fictions become true. With the devlopment of economy and the continual increase of population, many people worry that the earth, our only hometown, might someday fail to burden the demand of human beings. The natural resources are going to be used up. The air and lands are polluted severely. As a matter of fact, scientists are trying their best to discovery another planet like the earth.
Such kind of reserch needs faith and confidence. It is a long way before we can discovery something similar to the earth. But scientists should believe that there exiests a planet like the earth, which might save the whole future generation of human beings if explored.

Nowadays the world is filled with fear of terrorsits. Since the 911 case in America, many people began to think more about their living situation. It seems that the world is not safe as we think before.
Americans ristricted the spread of nuclear facilities for the sake of world peace. However, I believe that the world will be safer if Iran's nuclear facilities are bomed. The reasons are as follows:
First, countries which once thought of attaking Iran might stop thinking about that. Because Iran has nuclear facilities, these countries will think more before they want to break the peace. In this case, no country dare to attack Iran, which bring peace to our world.
Second, other countries who do not have nuclear facilities will try their best to develop such technology. Nuclear weapon is such a terrible kind of weapon which can destroy the whole earth that almost no country is willing to use it in the war. However, If more countries master the technology and have the nuclear facilities, there will be fewer and fewer wars because no country dare to attack the countries who hold the nuclear weapons.
All in all, I think the world will be safer if Iran holds the nuclear facilities.
Sorry, I hurry to finish my comment here. I have to prepare my exams.
