日漸風靡的“性短信” sexting
[ 2009-08-07 15:01 ]
曾經在坊間很是風靡的“黃色短信”因為傳播太廣、影響惡劣而使相關部門頒布法令予以禁止。在國外,很多青少年用手機在傳送的可不僅限于“黃色短信”,他們還互發自己的艷照等私密文件。據說,他們這樣做是為了表現好友之間的親密無間。這種行為叫做sexting。
A combination of the words "sex" and "texting," the term “sexting” refers to the act of sending sexually explicit text messages - or pictures of oneself - instantly over a mobile phone.
“性短信”(sexting)這個詞是由sex(性)和texting(發短信)兩個詞組合而成的,指通過手機發送色情文字信息或者個人艷照的行為。
Sexting is a result of advances in technology enabling new forms of social interaction. Messages with sexual content have been exchanged over all forms of historical media. Newer technology allows photographs and videos, which are intrinsically more explicit and have greater impact. A social danger with sexting is that material can be very easily and widely promulgated, over which the originator has no control.
“性短信”是新的社交模式發展技術不斷進步的結果。其實,帶有色情內容的信息長久以來一直在各種傳統媒介中傳送。新興的技術可以傳送圖片和視頻,這使得信息內容更加直觀,影響力也就更大。“性短信”帶來的社會危害之一是短信內容可以被輕易地廣泛傳播,而始發送者對此卻束手無策。
