Amaphephandaba: Ingabe bazosinda emithonjeni yezindaba entsha yanamuhla?

Iminyaka embalwa edlule ibinzima embonini yezindaba zokuphrinta. Amaphephandaba alahlekelwa yimali ngenxa yokwehla kwezinga lokufunda okuholele ekulahlekelweni yimisebenzi nokuvalwa kwamaphepha. Ngisho namanye amaphepha amakhulu anjenge The Wall Street Journal futhi I-New York Times bebelokhu belahlekelwe kakhulu. Ngokuvumelana ne Pew Research Center, abasebenzi bephephandaba baye bancipha ngezikhundla ezingaba ngu-20,000 20 kule minyaka engu-XNUMX edlule.

Kungashiwo ukuthi iningi labantu selilahle ithemba ngamaphephandaba. Namuhla, sithola izindaba zethu kumathelevishini nama-smartphones ethu, sikhethe ukuchofoza izindatshana ku-Twitter kunokuphenya emakhasini ephephandaba. Kungashiwo futhi ukuthi sinokufinyelela okusheshayo nangcono ezindabeni manje kunangaphambili. Singathola izindaba zethu njengoba zenzeka ngosizo lwe-inthanethi futhi siyakwazi ukufinyelela izindaba ezivela kuwo wonke umhlaba kunokuba sifinyelele edolobheni lethu kuphela.

Ukufa kwephephandaba

I-Pew Research Centre ithe u-2015 kungenzeka ukuthi ube nokuwohloka komnotho emaphephandabeni. Ukusakazwa kwamasonto onke kanye nokusakazwa ngeSonto kubonise ukwehla kwakho okubi kakhulu kusukela ngo-2010, imali engenayo yokukhangisa ibe nokwehla okukhulu kusukela ngo-2009, futhi ukuqashwa kwegumbi lezindaba kwehle ngamaphesenti angu-10.

Izigaba Zedijithali zaseCanada, a umbikoelungiswe ngabakwaCommunic@tions Management, ithi, “amaphephandaba aseCanada ansuku zonke asemjahweni weminyaka eyi-10 ngokumelene nesikhathi nobuchwepheshe ukuze bakhe imodeli yebhizinisi eku-inthanethi ezobasiza ukuthi balondoloze imikhiqizo yabo ngaphandle kokunyathelisa, futhi - kunzima nakakhulu - zama ukwakha izinhlobo ezintsha zenqwaba yezomnotho (noma ezinye izinhlobo zezinhlelo zezomnotho) ezizokwenza ukuba khona kwazo ku-inthanethi zigcine ububanzi bazo bamanje bobuntatheli.”

Kuyaqondakala ukuthi kunjalo emaphephandabeni amaningi emhlabeni jikelele, hhayi eCanada kuphela. Njengoba amaphephandaba athuthukisa izinhlelo eziku-inthanethi kunokuphrinta, okukhathazayo manje ukuthi ubuntatheli be-inthanethi bungase buhluleke ukusekela izindinganiso zabo eziyisisekelo - iqiniso, ubuqotho, ukunemba, ukungakhethi kanye nobuntu. 

Njengoba uChristopher Harper esho ephepheni elibhalelwe i-MIT Communications Forum, "I-inthanethi yenza wonke umuntu ongumnikazi wekhompyutha abe nomshini wakhe wokunyathelisa."

Ingabe i-Internet inecala? 

Abaningi bangavuma ukuthi i-Internet idlala indima enkulu ekuwohlokeni kwamaphephandaba. Osukwini lwanamuhla, abantu bangathola izindaba zabo njengoba kwenzeka ngokuchofoza inkinobho. Amaphepha endabuko manje ancintisana nokuthandwa kwezincwadi eziku-inthanethi ezifana I-Buzzfeed, Huffington Post futhi Elite Nsuku zonke izihloko zazo ezikhanyayo nezifana ne-tabloid zidonsa abafundi futhi zibagcine bechofoza.

U-Emily Bell, umqondisi we-Tow Center for Digital Journalism e-Columbia, utshele The Guardian ukuthi ukuhlaselwa kwe-World Trade Center ngo-September 11, 2001 kwafanekisela indlela izenzakalo nezindaba ezixoxwa ngayo osukwini lwanamuhla. “Abantu basebenzisa iwebhu ukuze baxhumane nesipiliyoni ngokuyibuka ngesikhathi sangempela kumabonakude bese beyithumela emabhodini emiyalezo nasezinkundleni. Bathumele izingcezu zolwazi abazazi ngokwabo futhi baluhlanganise nezixhumanisi ezisuka kwenye indawo. Kwabaningi, ukulethwa kwakungenangqondo, kodwa isimo sokubika, ukuxhumanisa nokwabelana kwezindaba kwavela ngaleso sikhathi, ”kusho yena. 

I-inthanethi yenza kube lula kunoma ubani onokufinyelela ukuthi izindaba azifunayo zilethwe kuye ngokushesha futhi kalula. Bamane bapheqa ezinkundleni zokuxhumana ezifana ne-Twitter ne-Facebook bese bechofoza kunoma yiziphi izihloko zezindaba abazithandayo. Kulula futhi ukuthayipha iwebhusayithi yesitolo sezindaba esipheqululini sakho noma ukulanda uhlelo lwazo olusemthethweni futhi ube nazo zonke izindaba ozidingayo ngokuchofoza inkinobho. Ayisaphathwa-ke eyokuthi izintatheli seziyakwazi ukuhlinzeka bukhoma ngemicimbi ukuze izethameli zibukele noma ngabe zikuphi. 

Ngaphambi kwe-inthanethi, abantu kwakudingeka balinde kuze kufike iphepha labo lansuku zonke noma babuke iziteshi zezindaba zasekuseni ukuze bathole izindaba zabo. Lokhu kukhombisa esinye sezizathu ezicacile zokwehla kwamaphephandaba, njengoba abantu bengasenaso isikhathi sokulinda izindaba zabo - bazifuna ngokushesha nangokuchofoza inkinobho.

Izinkundla zokuxhumana nazo zingadala inkinga, ngoba noma ngubani angathumela noma yini ayifisayo nganoma yisiphi isikhathi. Lokhu empeleni kwenza noma ubani owazi ukuthi angasebenza kanjani i-Twitter ‘abe yintatheli.’
