國際時事跟讀 Ep.K911: Digital Brain Rot: Society's New Pandemic
Highlights 主題摘要：
- Despite being popularized by modern digital culture, "brain rot" has historical roots dating back to 1854, demonstrating how age-old concerns about mental deterioration remain relevant in today's digital age.
- The term has gained significant traction, particularly among younger generations who ironically are both the primary creators and consumers of the content they criticize through this expression.
- The selection of "brain rot" as Word of the Year reflects broader societal anxieties about digital overconsumption and its potential impact on mental well-being in our increasingly online world.
In a revealing reflection of our modern digital habits, "brain rot" has emerged as Oxford's Word of the Year for 2024. This term, which garnered significant attention through a public vote involving over 37,000 participants, describes the perceived mental deterioration resulting from excessive consumption of trivial online content. The phrase captured a growing societal concern about the impacts of mindless social media scrolling and the endless stream of low-quality digital content that dominates many people's daily screen time. The selection process, overseen by a panel of experts including renowned lexicographer Susie Dent, considered both public opinion and broader cultural implications.
在反映現代數位習慣的過程中，「大腦腐蝕」（brain rot）一詞脫穎而出，成為牛津字典 2024 年度詞彙。這個透過超過 37,000 名參與者公開投票而備受矚目的詞彙，描述了因過度攝取瑣碎的網路內容而導致的心智衰退現象。這個詞彙捕捉到社會對無意識社群媒體洗版，以及充斥人們日常螢幕時間的低品質數位內容所產生影響的日益關注。由知名詞典編纂學家蘇西・登特（Susie Dent）等專家小組監督的遴選過程，同時考量了公眾意見和更廣泛的文化影響。
Interestingly, while "brain rot" may seem like a modern creation born from our digital age, its origins date back to 1854 when Henry David Thoreau first used it in his seminal work "Walden." The term has evolved significantly since then, finding new relevance in today's context where Generation Z and Alpha communities have embraced it to describe their own experiences with social media overconsumption. The selection of this phrase reflects a broader cultural conversation about the intersection of humanity and technology, particularly regarding how we spend our leisure time online. Ox
