介绍:
【特别感谢热心听友“绿云扰-王佳云”帮忙听写本篇文稿】
Ryan: Yeah, I’m just gonna go right back to Heyang here. I’m just saying…... (Heyang: Sure, I’m ready.) Okay, as you are talking from you know being a woman in her twenties and knowing so much about the world and what not. But you know I should honestly say that when I was seventeen to now I wouldn’t have known like maybe necessarily I would be like oh, someone is on my phone, it’s so cool. I like I need to answer them right away I want to be cool and popular. All these stupid things going through your head and eventually realized like popularity is just all superficial and you should just be yourself. But those realizations come later in life. These are kids so someone needs to snap them on the hand and say, hey, put the phone away so that’s my spiel. That’s my spiel but at the same time you know I do want to say that I do think this is a problem also as adults we don’t have specifically those numbers. But I mean today I was coming to work and I remember walking through the subway and seeing grown-ups walking up stairs and down stairs with their phones right in front of them and they are not even looking what’s to the left what’s to the right. If something happens they are definitely not gonna be able to respond. They are able to walk in one pattern comfortably but at the same time you know imagine if someone behind them falls they can’t respond and it’s just gonna create a chain effect. Come on, it’s dangerous and people there’s a time and a place.
Heyang: Yeah, Ryan, although I don’t really want to admit it but you are right.
Ryan: You all heard it~
Niu Honglin: What she says is right. And I think what she meant is you have to teach your kids and by teaching them what to do instead of telling them. Maybe you can be a good example. You can stop watching your smartphones stop playing games when you are walking when you are driving and that will them a sense of what to do things.
Heyang: Yes, and actually you kind of read my mind successfully, Niu Honglin. (Niu Honglin: Thank you, I have that ability.) You are a very smart girl and also Ryan I think you really did hit the nail in the head with saying that it actually the adults that haven’t really been setting the best example or being the role model and they don’t really realize themselves or they don’t have a stance to say that you should get off your digital device when you are mobile when they themselves are probably doing the same thing. So now it’s actually a bigger problem. It’s not just teenagers being a bit crazy and immature and those things. It is actually a bigger picture.
Ryan: Yeah, you know I just wanna…you know it’s tough because these teenagers were dealing with new things that are happening and everything is changing, technology is growing. It seems like it’s grow in the trend of we are always plugged in. We are always in some way in communication with people. But you know I would just like to say that these kids I hope that their parents crackdown a little more on them using devices while they are walking. But you know you can be one of those perfect people that doesn’t use devices. What’s really scary is if there’s some adult behind a car or something like that. Because you can be the best driver in the world or the most protective walker in the world but when you believe like someone driving a car is being a responsible driver yet they bring out their phone and texting. That doesn’t matter how good of a person you are about your walking habits. That person is also just as dangerous as you also having that phone in texting. So I think what’s really important here to and something you definitely worth focusing on is that adults especially because they can do more things like driving and what not need to better about choosing the time and place to use these devices.
Heyang: Yes, that is a very good point and also echoed by one of our WeChat listeners Mr.战神. He says: I avoid using my smartphone at home because I don’t my daughter to copy my behavior. (Niu Honglin: That’s good parenting.) Yes, and he also says actually I can live the weekend without it. And 战神 I can totally agree with you because I do that all the time. (Niu Honglin: You people are amazing!) And also he says while walking I don’t listen to this amazing show called RoundTable. I only do that when I am sitting down alone because when you are walking in the street and you’ve got the earphones in your ear sockets then it’s bad for your listening ability and you could be in danger when you don’t notice. Those are some really good tips.
Ryan: They are some really good tips and awesome parenting showing by example I love it. But he mentioned the headphones you know I’m not gonna lie to our listeners because they are wonderful and I want to be very honest with them. I do listen to my headphones not necessarily when I am driving but almost never when I am driving. But like in a subway when I am walking around to transfer and what not. You know that’s I feel like I can handle that and I can respond to situations visually but at the same time I can understand where he is coming from and saying you are impaired without hearing.
Niu Honglin: Yeah, and also one of the dangers we are not saying is dangerous places but some place you should not listen to music or whatever. You are crossing the street or at a street corner or you are in a driveway or a parking lot that’s the places that you need to watch out.
Ryan: Niu Honglin nailed it on the head there I totally one hundred percent agree. I think like you said use your discretion but when it’s traffic related crossing streets especially you are driving those cars, guys, devices should not be the first thing on your mind, it should be you know should be safety and protecting those around you.
Heyang: Yeah, very nicely said and also if you are really that desperate to stay in touch for those people that are just not worth it anybody, then just take a minute I think just stand still and move to a corner to a safe place in the street and finish your texting or whatever you are doing on your phone and then resume your walking after that, if you are really that desperate.
Niu Honglin: And from a personal experience that will give you a high efficiency even though you are playing a game just stand there, stand in a safety place and play your game do whatever you want they will give you better experience.
Heyang: Yes, that person can be stuck there for minutes if not in an hour I’ve seen that happened to. But that’s the safer way to do and everybody just stay safe alright? That’s what I want to say and before we move on to our last topic of discussion today, Ryan you are getting all the nice messages today. (Ryan: You guys are so sweet. Keep them coming.) You are just asking for more and our dear listeners seem to feed more into your ego.
Ryan: Because we love each other, Heyang, that’s how it is. (Heyang: Alright, I get a little jealous sometimes.) They don’t understand guys, or she’s doesn’t understand our love guy, but that’s okay.
Heyang: I understand a little bit, a little bit and there is Linka, maybe that’s your name, and she says, Ryan always has a nice point, smart guy. Being called smart, that must make your day, Mr. Ryan Price, right? And there is naxiaoning says I agree with Ryan, kids are kids, don’t hold them the standard of adults. I am crazy when I was at that age. So thank you for sharing that comment and agreeing with Ryan. When can someone agree with Heyang? There is 那朵小花 saying this is my first 弹幕 biu message, love you Heyang, your voice lights my day. OK, that’s so nice of you.
Ryan: I also love Heyang, guys. She is awesome. So I’m right there way with you.
Heyang: Oh my goodness, thank you for saying so much nice things to me. That is really cute of all of you.
