大家都成了短線交易者?

Day Traders of Charity by Esther Dyson on Project Syndicate
慈善的短線交易者?

"Yes, the Internet allows people to connect – one to one – across cultures and distance. And it is good that people feel empathy, or at least sympathy, for those who are less fortunate...... "

"是的,網路連結了一個個不同文化背景,超越距離的個人。啟發每個人對於較不幸的人的同理心,或者是至少是同情心,這是件好事......."

"The problem is broader than Watsi. Even as it becomes easier to see and care for people lying injured on the side of the virtual highway, it becomes harder to perceive and easier to ignore the “road” conditions that caused their injuries"

"但是問題本身比 Watsi這個網站還要深入。他的確讓人更容易察見且關心在這虛擬的高速公路一旁受傷的人,但也確讓人更難感知,或者是更容易忽略,到底是甚麼樣的路況讓這樣的人受傷了。"
