Good Night Diary: The Internet Ecosystem

Good night, on the day that just ended, I completed a few things that I think are very meaningful, such as finally sending out an application for a job opportunity, for example, planning my daily routine for my post-isolation life after consecutive vacations , and let me, who haven't felt "moving" for a while, feel a sense of accomplishment. Although there are still a lot of things that need to be done, they are piled up there, those who are stuck, those who have lost motivation, and those who have no time to do them are all there, and I remember them one by one. Taking action and getting results really makes me feel good.

I've seen it several times where seniors I respect have posted their to-do lists for the next few days on social platforms. My feelings about this matter are mixed; because doing so can really play a role in the sender, as if after the matter is made public, there will be countless pairs of imaginary eyes. Just like supervising myself to achieve my goals, it gives myself more pressure and motivation to complete it; secondly, I also wonder why I need to do this? At the same time, it actually creates an effect that makes people feel that you are very busy, that you have a lot of things to do, or further, people "see" that your work spans different units and professions, as if trying to In addition to their busyness, they also use this busyness to accumulate capital for themselves.

Of course, I'm not the person involved, and I haven't talked to him about it, so I can't really understand why he did it. In this contemporary society where everyone can be, or even if they don’t realize it, they are already creators and curators, there is so much information that we don’t have the time and opportunity to think about the authenticity of the content, let alone further It has been verified that the original intention of the author is no longer important, but how the viewer interprets and interprets it.

But looking back, it is not that creators have no room to operate. Everyone can use the Internet to say what they want to say as carefully as possible to avoid being misunderstood, but at the same time, they can also use it consciously. The difference between others and yourself creates the desired effect and obtains the result you seek; but in any case, this has a potential cost (or risk, depending on whether you think people's words and deeds on the Internet belong to an exchange system) , that is the misinterpretation of others. After all, we cannot directly control others with words, so every speech is more like a game, a gamble, to see if others pay the bill; if the situation is not as good as what we think, it is meaningless no matter how hard we try.

Such games have long been the norm on the Internet. Perhaps it reflects that the concept of "Internet Ecosystem" can no longer be regarded as an empty and imaginary theory, but that all information and people are influenced by each other, becoming a community that can distinguish between subject and object, and even interact with each other. The "mirror" of the main body.

I'm also confused as to why I feel like I'm talking about this, maybe it's a response to my own anxiety about the "personal/public" nature of my goodnight journal?

But that's the good night journal for today, like it or not.
