1这个观点太极端，这些都要分情况看（不同的电视节目，不同的受众），对于网络（特别是邮件和MSN等，也是要分情况来看）
2对于电视来说，有的电视能够提供很深入的交流，给民众启发，促进人们的交流。比如评论员的解说和新闻，可以让更多的民众了解，并与朋友们交流（没有这些信息，他们很多东西都无从谈起），有时电视上会提供辩论（对社会时间和政治措施），使得评论员更多的激发有意义的交流，这也有助于人们的交流。如果没有电视，真的不知道人们可以讨论些什么。
3有时电视节目是有害的，但对于不同的人来说是效果不同的。
4对于网络来说，因为他提供更多的平台，让更多的人进行交流，可以让有思想的人更多的交流，但是不排除有些人只是为了逃避与亲友们的交流而在网上交流一些没有意义没有深度的思想。
5总的来说，情况复杂，不能一概而论，不同的请况导致不同的结果，如果能好好的运用，这些可以提供好的条件为交流。
TOPIC: ISSUE151 - "High-speed electronic communications media, such as electronic mail and television, tend to prevent meaningful and thoughtful communication."

The speaker asserts that high-speed electronic communications media is likely to prevent meaningful and thoughtful communication. I think the assertion is too extreme. It is hasty to conclude so because there are thousands of TV program and many kinds of communication via computer as well as 6 billion people in the whole world. A case by case analysis is necessary .

I turn fist to the influence to the communication by television. Some kinds of TV program are stimulus to ordinary people's thoughtful communication. Has not been the reports of news and the penetrating view of commentator in TV program, ordinary individuals would not be able to  understand the essences of incidents that happen everyday. For example, through the opinion of harmful outcomes of certain projects in the country from commentator we are stimulated to consider and communication with others and get more meaningful talks based on these knowledge. Some kinds of TV program provide meaningful and thoughtful communication directly. For example, in Taiwan exists such kinds of talk show where speakers debate the incidents of the day and the policies made by the government. These programs always trigger wonderful conversation and hold useful outcome to the whole society.Without such program facilitated by high-speed electronic communication media, ordinary people and speakers will not well prepared to conduct these useful talks.


Although television is crucial to these talks, it will also bring out other detriments which include preventing meaningful communication. Many kinds of television are offering fast-paced entertainment and advertising now, none of which will cause useful communication because of the inherent features of such programs. If we are attracted by such program we not only lose our precious time but also keep our brain rest, let alone to say meaningful and thoughtful talks. But when we treat these only as a measure of fun, the ill effect will not trap us ultimately and we can do more meaningful communication with our parents, friends, teachers, and etc.


When it comes to internet I think it arouse broad talks. As long as we use it carefully and actively, the internet will not be the obstructive to the thoughtful communication but the assistant. The internet serves as a platform for all to participation in it. We can talk to anyone conveniently and effectively. Thoughtful people are joining together by internet and they can communicate with each other, which is helpful for the formation of meaningful communication. Without the help of e-male and other measures through internet, all these are unimaginable.


Similarly, internet will cause the lack of useful communication of certain individuals who use it without proper. For example, software for interactive chatting has drawn too much attention of some people. These individuals talk with unknown people about too many worthless things, making them unready for meaningful communication.


To sum up, the influence of high-speed electronic communication media to the depth of our communication is complex.  But if we apply the media properly, meaningful and thoughtful communication is easy to reach.
