iPhone Contract 愛奉合約

Gregory’s iPhone Contract
12/25/2012
Dear Gregory
Merry Christmas! You are now the proud owner of an iPhone. Hot Damn! You are a good & responsible 13 year old boy and you deserve this gift. But with the acceptance of this present comes rules and regulations. Please read through the following contract. I hope that you understand it is my job to raise you into a well rounded, healthy young man that can function in the world and coexist with technology, not be ruled by it. Failure to comply with the following list will result in termination of your iPhone ownership.
I love you madly & look forward to sharing several million text messages with you in the days to come.

耶誕節那天，13歲的克雷葛里．霍夫曼獲得他渴望的東西：一支iPhone 5手機。次日，他拿到合約，不是讓他手機上網的資費方案合約—這部份費用由他爸媽買單，而是一份告訴他用這支手機能做什麼、不能做什麼的約定。
珍妮．柏里．霍夫曼送給兒子他人生第一支iPhone，以獎勵他的「成熟與成長」，但是這份禮物有附帶條件。精確的說，是18個條件，寫在一份使用守則中。
這份合約明白列出她兒子須如何適當使用這支手機的種種規定，而且，這位媽媽還說，若他違反這些規定，她就會沒收這支iPhone。

1. It is my phone. I bought it. I pay for it. I am loaning it to you. Aren’t I the greatest?
2. I will always know the password.
3. If it rings, answer it. It is a phone. Say hello, use your manners. Do not ever ignore a phone call if the screen reads “Mom” or “Dad”. Not ever.
4. Hand the phone to one of your parents promptly at 7:30pm every school night & every weekend night at 9:00pm. It will be shut off for the night and turned on again at 7:30am. If you would not make a call to someone’s land line, wherein their parents may answer first, then do not call or text. Listen to those instincts and respect other families like we would like to be respected.
5. It does not go to school with you. Have a conversation with the people you text in person. It’s a life skill. *Half days, field trips and after school activities will require special consideration.
6. If it falls into the toilet, smashes on the ground, or vanishes into thin air, you are responsible for the replacement costs or repairs. Mow a lawn, babysit, stash some birthday money. It will happen, you should be prepared.
7. Do not use this technology to lie, fool, or deceive another human being. Do not involve yourself in conversations that are hurtful to others. Be a good friend first or stay the hell out of the crossfire.
8. Do not text, email, or say anything through this device you would not say in person.
9. Do not text, email, or say anything to someone that you would not say out loud with their parents in the room. Censor yourself.
10. No porn. Search the web for information you would openly share with me. If you have a question about anything, ask a person – preferably me or your father.
11. Turn it off, silence it, put it away in public. Especially in a restaurant, at the movies, or while speaking with another human being. You are not a rude person; do not allow the iPhone to change that.
12. Do not send or receive pictures of your private parts or anyone else’s private parts. Don’t laugh. Someday you will be tempted to do this despite your high intelligence. It is risky and could ruin your teenage/college/adult life. It is always a bad idea. Cyberspace is vast and more powerful than you. And it is hard to make anything of this magnitude disappear – including a bad reputation.
13. Don’t take a zillion pictures and videos. There is no need to document everything. Live your experiences. They will be stored in your memory for eternity.
14. Leave your phone home sometimes and feel safe and secure in that decision. It is not alive or an extension of you. Learn to live without it. Be bigger and more powerful than FOMO – fear of missing out.
15. Download music that is new or classic or different than the millions of your peers that listen to the same exact stuff. Your generation has access to music like never before in history. Take advantage of that gift. Expand your horizons.
16. Play a game with words or puzzles or brain teasers every now and then.
17. Keep your eyes up. See the world happening around you. Stare out a window. Listen to the birds. Take a walk. Talk to a stranger. Wonder without googling.
18. You will mess up. I will take away your phone. We will sit down and talk about it. We will start over again. You & I, we are always learning. I am on your team. We are in this together.
It is my hope that you can agree to these terms. Most of the lessons listed here do not just apply to the iPhone, but to life. You are growing up in a fast and ever changing world. It is exciting and enticing. Keep it simple every chance you get. Trust your powerful mind and giant heart above any machine. I love you. I hope you enjoy your awesome new iPhone. Merry Christmas!

Anti-nuclear Power Plant 反核電廠

台灣反核，卡到天王篇-一群小朋友為一睹「卡達天王」運轉的風采，因此不斷繳錢給玩具店老闆，沒想到「油電雙漲」後，「卡達天王」隨之漲價，小朋友好不容易湊到1千5百元，結果運轉後卡達天王應聲解體，玩具店老闆獅子大開口，竟要無辜小朋友們賠償「卡達天王」醫藥費3千3百元，憤怒的小朋友們指控「那個卡達天王，根本就是卡到天王」、「都是鼻屎糊做的」，但玩具店老闆卻威脅「你們現在不買也不行了！」
片尾的口白指出，核四從一開始的1697億元預算一路追加，今年總預算估計將達3300億元，已是原本的2倍，而台灣馬政府不斷宣稱，如停建核四將會增加電價4成，「不買不行的黑暗交易，就是30年來，台灣人所期盼的光明未來。」
