LinkedIn會不會扼殺童真

LinkedIn會不會扼殺童真

Dan Mitchell 2013-08-26
最近,商務社交網站LinkedIn決定把注冊的年齡門檻下調到14歲,以便吸納青少年用戶注冊。不過,不少人擔心,此舉可能會讓孩子們過早接觸到真實世界殘酷的一面,從而扼殺他們的童真,甚至導致他們放棄自己的夢想,迎合職場的需求來規劃自己未來的人生道路。這些人想太多了。

????他接著說:“以前有個好成績,暑假找個暑期工就夠了。但是要不了多久,孩子就會變得麻木不仁。你在哪實習過?你創建過什么學生俱樂部?你選擇的是機器人學還是計算機科學?”

????所有這些都無異于是在推斷:a.)青少年目前還沒有這方面的壓力,不用去思考這些事情;b.)LinkedIn不僅在強迫他們加入,而且還讓他們的對個人資料進行篩選,然后將自己推向自己不感興趣的職業。

????更有可能的是,世界上像亞歷克斯?奇頓(80年代美劇Family Ties的主角,是一個有遠大抱負的孩子——譯注)這樣的孩子會蜂擁加入LinkedIn,而像巴特?辛普森(沒有什么追求的孩子——譯注)這樣的孩子和其他很多孩子都會對LinkedIn敬而遠之。更有甚者,他們可能連LinkedIn這個名字都沒聽說過。我們可以據此推測,在LinkedIn創建賬戶的17歲青少年要比14歲青少年多。但是,一些14歲的孩子(例如像亞歷克斯?奇頓這樣的孩子)希望從現在就著手規劃自己大學的職業生涯,我們為什么要阻止他們做呢?

????因為,康斯丁警告說:“問題并不在于青少年為了填滿其LinkedIn個人資料而去做某些事,而是他們在選擇做某件事之前,會首先以那些瀏覽網頁的招聘者和大學招生辦官員假想的眼光來審視自己。這會強迫他們依據他人的想法來做決定,而不是依據自己的愛好……”

????“這些想法可能會埋沒下一個畢加索或奧巴馬。”

????天哪,由此而得到的推論是,如果LinkedIn出現在上個世紀初的話,帕布羅?畢加索可能會選擇做注會這一行。或者我們應該說,這看起來不大可能。然而,即便是可能的,難道還有比“1901-1904:藍色時期”(畢加索在這個時期的作品中運用了大量的藍色——譯注)更好的LinkedIn個人介紹嗎?很多藝術家和演員也在LinkedIn上填寫個人資料,但這些人一直在追逐自己的夢想。

????我們可以肯定,如果LinkedIn在上個世紀70年代末就出現了的話,奧巴馬總統會成為它的擁躉。他在哥倫比亞大學獲得政治學和國際關系學位之前,在夏威夷參加了大學預科班。他的第一份工作是在商業國際公司(Business International Corp)上班,而這種工作聽起來就像是劇集中亞歷克斯?奇頓最終可能從事的工作。作為一名芝加哥社團組織者,奧巴馬曾為貧困兒童設立了大學預科計劃。然后他去了哈佛大學法學院。

????政治右翼勢力經常將奧巴馬擔任社團組織者期間的所作所為描述為某種準馬克思主義,一種對美國價值觀的踐踏,而且帶有反建制情緒。但是,事實恰恰相反。在他的大部分時間中,他一直在為工作培訓項目爭取資金和政治支持,同時為貧困地區的兒童創造優勢機遇。他希望這些孩子能在資本主義體制下獲得成功。

????"It used to be enough to get good grades and a summer job," he continued. "Soon that could leave kids looking like slackers. Where are your internships? What student club did you start? Have you chosen between robotics and computer science?"

????All of this tacitly presumes that a.) teenagers aren't already pressured to think about these things, and b.) that LinkedIn is somehow forcing them to not only join but to tailor their profiles to push them toward careers they're not interested in.

????What seems more likely is that the Alex P. Keatons of the world are going to flock to LinkedIn, while the Bart Simpsons -- and many others -- will avoid it, if they ever even hear about it. Presumably, more 17-year-olds will create profiles than will 14-year-olds. But some 14-year-olds (the Alex P. Keatons) will want to get a jump on their college careers, so why not let them?

????Because, Constine warns: "The problem isn't teens doing things that could fill out their LinkedIn profile. It's them choosing what to try after judging themselves through the hypothetical eyes of recruiters and college admissions officers lurking the web. That could pressure them into making decisions based on what others want, rather than what excites them ...

????"These thoughts could derail the next Picasso or Obama."

????Oh, my. The presumption here is that if LinkedIn were around at the turn of the last century, Pablo Picasso might have opted for a career in chartered accountancy. That seems, shall we say, unlikely. But even if not, what would look better on a LinkedIn profile than "1901-1904: Blue Period?" There are lots of profiles on LinkedIn by artists and performers -- people who have followed their muse.

????And there's little doubt that President Obama (sort of Keatonesque himself but much less mercenary) would have been all over LinkedIn if it were available to him in the late 1970s. He attended a college prep school in Hawaii before getting degrees in poli sci and international relations at Columbia. His first job was at Business International Corp, which sounds like it could be a fictional company where Alex P. Keaton would have eventually landed. As a community organizer in Chicago, Obama managed college-prep programs for poor kids. Then he went to Harvard for law school.

????Obama's time as a community organizer is often portrayed by the political right as some kind of quasi-Marxist, anti-establishment assault on American values, but it was really just the opposite. He spent most of his time scrounging funds and political support for job-training programs, and helping kids in poor neighborhoods get a leg up. He wanted them to succeed in the capitalist system..
