1
You know, there is a constant debate that takes place when looking at the subject of technology.
2
Between people that argue that technology is part of who we are,
3
and those that believe that technology is fundamentally unnatural and that it's a tool that's being used to ultimately destroy the world.
4
I don't fall into that camp.
5
I echo Kevin Kelly's ideas that stipulate that actually technology is the real skin of our species.
6
Technology is the exterioration of our nervous system.
7
Technology is our extended mind.
8
I phone, therefore I am.
9
But think about it.
10
Technology is literally the way we turn our mind inside out.
11
The cognitive philosophers Andy Clark and David Chalmers describe it as a kind of scaffolding that extends our thought,
12
our reach, and our vision.
13
We are a tool-making animal that has been in a symbiotic feedback loop with technology since the beginning of stone tools.
14
I mean, think about it.
15
Once we created stone tools, our jaws shrank.
16
Once we discovered that fire could cook our foods, making every meal more efficient,
17
it freed up the cognitive real estate necessary for the emergence of culture, religion, and arts.
18
So you might say that who we are is due to the feedback loops between us and our tools,
19
to the degree that our tools become extended appendages, that even though they are not within our biological skin tissue,
20
they are nonetheless a part of our cognitive arsenal.
21
They are a part of us the same way a nest is a part of a bird
22
and a spider's web is a part of a spider.
23
It is our extended phenotype.
24
It is who we are.
25
It is our termites colony.
26
It is temperature controlled.
27
It is the extension of our mindedness.
28
This is technology.
29
This is the technium.
30
The seventh kingdom of life.

為什麼要通過這個影片來練習口語？
在學習英語的過程中，口語表達是至關重要的一環。本影片探討了科技如何深刻地影響了人類的發展和思維方式，提供了豐富的素材，適合進行口語練習。通過觀看並跟隨影片中的講解，你不僅可以提高自己的語音語調，還能更深入理解科技與人類的關係。同時，看YouTube學英語也能讓你在輕鬆有趣的環境中學習，增加學習的積極性。
語法與表達的應用
在影片中，演講者使用了一些關鍵的語法結構和表達，下面列出其中的幾種：
- “I phone, therefore I am.” - 這個句子採用了簡單的因果關係結構，強調科技對我們存在的影響。
- “It's a tool that's being used to ultimately destroy the world.” - 使用被動語態，突顯科技對環境可能帶來的負面後果。
- “We are a tool-making animal.” - 這裡的“are”簡潔明瞭地闡明瞭人類的特性，適合用在描述或分類時。
在練習時，不妨嘗試模仿這種表達方式，通過shadow speak提升口語能力。
常見的發音陷阱
在影片中，有些詞彙和發音可能會給學習者帶來挑戰：
- “technology” (科技) - 注意中間的音節，確保發音準確。
- “cognitive” (認知的) - 這個詞的重音部分容易被忽略，練習多次可以改進發音。
- “scaffolding” (支架) - 該詞的音節較長，學習時注意分開練習各個音節。
以上詞彙在英語影子跟讀過程中，反覆練習可以幫助你提高發音的準確性和流利度。
什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
