May I have your attention, please?

请各位注意一下。

Your attention.

Please.

May I have some?

Please.

What if I put up gameplay of Subway Surfer and used a robot voice?

Would that keep you stimulated?

Wikipedia says that people born between the year 1981 and 1996 are part of a group called Millennials.

And I am a 96 baby.

Hello, Year of the Rat.

What's up?

I'm cusping on that Millennial Gen Z line.

我刚好卡在千禧一代和Z世代的分界线上。

So I can relate to all you

所以我能理解你们所有人的感受。

Gen Z -ers, okay?

Z世代的朋友们，懂吧？

I know what cap means, I know what drip means, and I also don't remember where I was when 9 -11 happened.

我知道cap是什么意思，也知道drip是什么意思，而且我确实不记得9·11事件发生的时候我在哪里。

However, Gen Z, there is a difference between us.

不过，Z世代，我们之间是有区别的。

We're both a generation that grew up on the internet, but you grew up with the internet.

我们这代人都是伴着互联网长大的，但你是真正在互联网的陪伴下长大的。

We grew up with the internet.

我们是伴随着互联网长大的。

The internet didn't used to always look like this.

互联网过去并非一直是现在这个样子。

It has metamorphosized a multitude of times.

它已经经历了无数次蜕变。

Now, if you talk to an older millennial, they'll tell you the horror stories of the late 90s internet,

现在，如果你和年长一些的千禧一代聊天，他们会给你讲90年代末互联网的那些恐怖故事，

how the internet used to be paired with your home's landline, and if you don't know what a landline is, good.

If you wanted to surf the net at blazing speeds of 7 kilobytes a second, then you couldn't use your telephone at the same time.

This was before texting even existed, so if you needed to talk to someone, you had to call them and look up their phone number in

that 20 pound weapon known as a phone book and then if someone else was using the internet, they'd get the pleasure of listening to...

Although, if I had to make a sound that represented the entire internet, it would sound exactly like this.

I didn't grow up with dial -up, but I did grow up in a time where the internet looked completely different.

By the time I was exploring the interwebs, we got speeds up to 1 megabyte per second.

So the highest quality video you could stream on YouTube was in 240p, or this big.

And it would still buffer.

A lot.

Gen Z, you weren't there when YouTube had a 5 -star scoring system

and the subscribe button was yellow and people would put these things all over their videos.

You weren't there when the videos were in a 4x3 aspect ratio because that's what TVs look like.

You weren't there when a background for a website would be a never -ending grid of a JPEG

and music would play against your will and your cursor would turn into a sparkly wand and...

Okay, that's actually pretty cool.

Whatever happened to that?

And then the person who built the website would go, Hmm, it's looking pretty good.

But you know what this webpage really needs?

A counter that'll tell you the total number of people who visited.

Let me just copy this HTML code I found online and

if you're around my age and you also had unsupervised computer time,

then great, you were also there to experience the pre -puberty years of the internet.

Try to imagine the internet without social media.

No Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or MySpace.

Were people back then just not talking about themselves or sharing their opinions online?

Were we as a society more connected with the people we knew in the real world?

No, of course not.

People have been sharing their opinions online since day one.

They were just doing it on random message boards.

I know it sounds trivial nowadays, but there was once a novelty in being able to type anything you wanted into the computer,

and then someone else you didn't know would instantaneously respond.

Even Neopets, a game targeted to children, had chat rooms and let anyone send unfiltered messages to children.

I'm surprised I didn't meet any weirdos.

That's one thing that'll never change with the internet.

There will always be weirdos online.

In fact most of a weirdo's life is spent behind a computer.

I would know.

I think people love sending messages so much that sometimes your friend would send you a message that said

You've just been hit by the duck truck!

Send this message to eight of your friends and you'll be as sexy as a truck!

Ignore and you'll be hit by a 16 -wheeler.

You have seven days.

And instead of blocking that person, some people would keep the chain going.

Hey, I have a quick question.

When was the last time you ever had to type a specific website into your address bar?

Hmm, probably somewhere about 10 years, give or take.

You just type in a Y, and then YouTube pops up.

You put in a T, you get Twitter, and P gets you picturesofalligators .com.

And if you had a specific question you wanted to ask the internet, you just yahoo it, right?

Yahoo?

Oh, no, that's not the one you kids are using, you kids are using that new search engine, right?

Ask Jeeves?

I know there's like four main websites that everyone goes on, but back then, instead of having a social media account, people made their own websites.

So there were a bunch of different websites for you to explore, and to help you find those websites,

you had a few search engines to pick from.

Everyone loves to dunk on Bing for even attempting to be a search engine, but back in the day, Google had some competition.

Obviously, I can see why Google ultimately won the search engine battle.

Google is a great company and I would recommend Google to all my peers and coworkers.

I love Google!

As much as I love the internet, some of the best memories we had on the computer weren't even on the internet, were they?

Sometimes the internet would just go down.

But did that stop us?

Did we go outside?

No. We were still able to supply ourselves with hours of entertainment even without an internet.

All you had to do was click

Start, All Programs, Accessories, Games, and then...

Space Cadet Pinball.

I guarantee every millennial watching this right now just got hit with a big wave of nostalgia.

This game might seem simple because there's only two buttons that you can press, but when you really got into it,

this game had a whole lot more going on.

Trust me, Space Cadet Pinball was all we had sometimes, and I cherished every second of it.

But if you were anything like me growing up, you were also practicing your art skills.

And luckily, every computer came pre -installed with a top -of -the -line painting software that every artist needs.

Yeah, this program's got everything.

There's a line tool, and a bucket tool, and a circle tool.

And sometimes when I was really bored, I would make a black rectangle, scribble the free -form selection tool on it, and then blammo!

Yeah, I still got it.

100

I just made a masterpiece.

101

And, fun James bonus tip, for some extra self -induced epilepsy, hold down Ctrl -I, which will invert the colors,

102

so your masterpiece will go...

103

Oh my god!

104

Oh, it hurts to look at!

105

Hey, looks like you're trying to create a conclusion to this YouTube video.

106

Would you like my help?

107

No, Clippy.

108

Even when you were around, I never used you.

109

I just liked having you there to keep me company.

110

The internet is still a relatively new invention that is ever -changing the way we live.

111

And we have yet to see the full effects of what being connected since birth does to a person.

112

The fact that the accumulation of all human knowledge can now fit in your pocket?

113

That's going to affect your day -to -day life!

114

Now, I'm not going to sit here and tell you to get off the internet, touch grass, and live your life to the fullest.

115

Otherwise, I'd be a hypocrite. And unemployed.

116

There's no denying all the positive things that the internet has to offer.

117

But I'm also not going to deny all the negative things that come with instant gratification, too.

118

As technology advances, so too do we advance the amount of time we spend online.

119

The internet can connect us to a million different people and perspectives that we never would have been exposed to before.

120

But it can also expose us to some really nasty people and perspectives.

121

And the only thing we can do about those people is shrug and say, Sorry, that's the internet.

122

So, are we, as a society, better off with the internet?

123

I think so.

124

But just, I don't know, just remember to drink water and stretch.

125

Alright, that's the lesson of this video.

126

Go stretch.

127

I'm serious.

128

Right now, go touch your toes.

录下自己的声音并与原声对比，特别注意 connect, stretch, deny 这类单词。

什么是跟读法？

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
