What if one dayFacebook,Twitterand Instant Messenger just weren’t there?

Provost学院院长Eric Darr of Harrisburg University of Science and Technology in Pennsylvania tells NPR’s(National Public Radio)Guy Raz that he wanted his students to not only think about this question,but live it.

“Often there are behaviors,habits and ways we use technology that we may ourselves not even be able to express clearly because wearenotaware ofthem,”Darr says.

So this week,Darr willenforce强制执行a campus-wide social media cutoff—noFacebook,noTwitter,no instant messaging—nothing.

Social Media Exile

“Access to these popular social media toolswill be blocked from campus computers through the week.This is not a disciplinary纪律上的exercise,” Darr says,“but anacademicone.At the end of the week,students willwrite reflective essaysabout their time without social media.”

Three Harrisburg University students,Ashley Harris,Gio Acosta and Oluyemi Afuape,volunteered todiscuss the experiment,and itturned outthey have mixed feelings.

Afuape isn’t a bigfanofFacebook,and says he doesn’t expect to bechallengedby the cutoff.But Harris is going tohave a hard timenot posting her whereabouts行踪to friends.

“My biggest problem is not being able to find people,”Harris says, “because I useFacebookandTwitter to find people at school,to see where they’re.”

Even before hearing about the cutoff,Acosta found it necessary to cut himself off the constant social media chatter.

“I had my phone set to receiveFacebook,texts,tweets信息and ring，so I had toturnthatoffbetween 3 and 6 in the morning so that I can actually sleep during that time.” Acosta says, “If you don’tset the limits,it’s a 24-hour thing.”

Hope From “The Post-Facebook Generation”

Outspokensocial media critic批评家Jaron Lanier(who was also named one ofTimemagazine’s100 most influential people of the year)says Harrisburg University’s experiment may be tooextreme.He would prefer that studentsdonate a penny to charityeverytime they access social media.

“Because that would create awareness,they would be aware of how much they were doing,” Lanier says, “making the use of it into something that’s more conscious and more considered.”

Lanier is mainly worried that social media creates superficial表面的tiesrather than lasting friendship.But he says heis optimistic about“the Post-Facebookgeneration”—teenagers he hears from in high schools who don’t identify withFacebook.

“No,we areindividuals;we invent ourselves;we’re not going to have some third-party advertising business define us.We invent our own taste.Furthermore,we decide what friendship means.”

Ⅲ.美句赏析

Even before hearing about the cutoff,Acosta found it necessary to cut himself off the constant social media chatter.

find it necessary to cut...构成的是 “find+it+adj.+to do”结构，其中 it做形式宾语，后面动词不定式为真正的宾语。这部分意为“至在听到这一消息之前，Acosta就觉得有必要停止社交媒体上的喋喋不休”。
