「老師，你說現在的學生上課都不認真，都在看手機；但以前的學生上課，不也是偷偷的在看小說或漫畫嗎，那這樣就有比較認真嗎？」「老師，你都說我們這些網路原住民，都把手機當成是奶嘴，時不時都得玩一下手遊、更新動態；但是，你們大人拿起手機玩寶可夢時，其狂熱程度可一點都不輸給我們。還有，你看，也有不少老師下課後，就立刻把手機掏出來看，甚至也像學生一樣，一面吃飯一面看手機啊！」「老師，希臘哲人亞里斯多德，不也說過，詩比歷史更真實嗎？如果代表藝術的詩，都比描述現實的歷史更真實，那我們拿手機看動漫、輕小說也沒錯啊，動漫的人設，比現實中醜陋的人，還更像個人啊！」
在網路已高度普及化的今天，我們已經可以看到大量的論述，炮火猛烈地批判網路是如何為害人們的身心。特別是當我們看到，數位原住民們不管是在上課、走路、等車、吃飯，聚會甚至是睡覺時，都是機不離手時，我們就更相信，就是這個數位虛擬世界，不斷的在腐蝕、敗壞人心。
然而，令人懊惱的是，即便眾多論述不斷藉由理性分析、科學研究指出，日常生活高度網路化，將帶來各種弊端與損害，但依舊很難讓數位原住民們跟網路科技建構的虛擬世界，保持安全距離；甚至有時候，竟會被原住民們反駁到無言以對。
但若仔細想想，原住民們那些似是而非的論點，並非全無道理。在網路科技尚未出現時，紙本的小說、動漫，不也構築了令許多人廢寢忘食、癡狂的虛擬世界，引得許多人爭相恐後躍身其中嗎？！甚至，在宗教信仰中，不也極力的向他們的信眾展示有別於現實的虛擬世界，天堂、聖地、淨土....。即便既看不到也摸不著，但信徒們不也是願意奉獻一切，只願日後得以進入那個虛無飄渺的世界嗎？ 渴求、建構並沉醉於虛擬世界中，顯然是出自人性精神與情感的本然需求，而非基於利害得失的理性計算。
所以，本課程的宗旨，就不再挖空心思的批判網路科技，反而是站在更大的角度去探討：究竟是什麼樣的精神情感力量，在推動人們建立各種虛擬世界，包括網路世界？現實世界究竟又是存在什麼樣的問題，讓人們竟想方設法要脫離，即便是只是片刻也好？而這些虛擬世界，真的能讓人們超越他們厭惡的現實，還是在鞏固現實而不自覺；是能讓他們生命變得更有力量，更能承受現實，還是讓他們抗壓性變得更差、更不堪一擊呢？
本課程計畫結合不同領域的知識，深入討論宗教、故事、遊戲、動漫....等等各種虛擬世界的性質，以及人們對這些世界的愛恨情仇。希望能讓修課的同學，更進一步認識自己、認識自身所處的社會，進而自覺地逐漸改變與網路世界的關係。
"Teacher, you said that students nowadays are not serious in class and are all looking at their mobile phones. But in the past, students were secretly reading novels or comics in class, so wouldn't they be more serious in this way?" "Teacher, you said We Internet natives all regard our mobile phones as pacifiers, and we have to play mobile games and update updates from time to time. However, when you adults pick up your mobile phones and play Pokémon, your enthusiasm is not inferior to ours. have , you see, many teachers take out their mobile phones immediately after class, and even look at their mobile phones while eating like students! "Teacher, the Greek philosopher Aristotle, also said that poetry is better than poetry. Is history more real? If poetry that represents art is more real than history that describes reality, then it’s not wrong for us to read anime and light novels on our mobile phones. The characters in anime are more human than the ugly people in reality. !”
Today, when the Internet has become highly popularized, we can already see a large number of discussions and fierce criticisms of how the Internet harms people's bodies and minds. Especially when we see that digital natives never leave their hands on their phones whether they are in class, walking, waiting for the bus, eating, partying or even sleeping, we become even more convinced that it is this digital virtual world that is constantly in use. It corrodes and corrupts the human heart.
However, what is annoying is that even though many discussions continue to point out through rational analysis and scientific research that the high degree of Internetization in daily life will bring various disadvantages and harms, it is still difficult for digital aborigines to construct structures with network technology. In the virtual world, keep a safe distance; sometimes, you will even be refuted by the indigenous people until you are speechless.
But if you think about it carefully, the specious arguments of the indigenous people are not completely unreasonable. Before the advent of Internet technology, didn't printed novels and animations also create virtual worlds that made many people forget about food and sleep and become crazy, attracting many people to rush into it? ! Even in religious beliefs, they try their best to show their believers a virtual world that is different from reality, such as heaven, holy land, pure land... Even if they can neither see nor touch it, aren't believers willing to sacrifice everything in the hope of entering that ethereal world in the future? The desire for, construction of, and indulgence in the virtual world obviously stems from the natural needs of the human spirit and emotion, rather than a rational calculation of gains and losses.
Therefore, the purpose of this course is no longer to criticize Internet technology, but to explore from a larger perspective: What kind of spiritual and emotional power is driving people to build various virtual worlds, including the Internet world? What kind of problems exist in the real world that make people find ways to escape, even just for a moment? And these virtual worlds can really allow people to transcend the reality they hate, or are they consolidating reality without realizing it? Can they make their lives more powerful and more able to withstand reality, or can they make them less resistant to stress? , even more vulnerable?
This course plan combines knowledge from different fields to discuss in depth the nature of various virtual worlds such as religion, stories, games, animation, etc., as well as people's love and hatred for these worlds. I hope that students who take the course can better understand themselves and the society they live in, and then consciously and gradually change their relationship with the online world.
