數碼二元論

馮禮慈此君曰

來，掛個深奧的新名詞在嘴邊：數碼二元論，即是Digital Dualism！

數碼二元論是指在現今這個電腦互聯網世界，人們都將數碼的、網上的稱為虛擬世界，或虛擬事物，而實體的、物質的、可以觸摸到的世界稱為真實。網上對實體、虛擬對真實，人們就將世界分成了兩個對立的陣營。這二分法就稱為數碼二元論。

傳統的二元論，常見的有正與邪對立、肉體與靈魂對立和中國的陰陽二元論等，數碼二元論當然是最新的一種，只在數碼時代才出現。

數碼社會分析家/社交媒體理論家Nathan Jurgenson是研究數碼二元論的尖端人物，他於二○一一年始創Digital Dualism一詞。Jurgenson說數碼二元論者是錯的，他們犯了不少錯誤，其中一種是：他們總認為實體世界和虛擬世界是「零和」遊戲，即是如果人花多了時間在虛擬世界，他用於真實世界的時間就減少了。Jurgenson認為這是不對的，他認為實體世界和虛擬世界可以並存、可以互助互惠，不一定互相排斥。即是說，常上網的人不一定就很少跟家人、朋友接觸；愛打機的人不一定不會去接觸大自然……

Jurgenson反對數碼二元論的用意，是想大家不要對常上網的人作過分標籤，不要以為常用電腦的就一定是怪人。是的，世界可不是這樣簡單二分的呀。

做人之本．莫失莫忘

康子靈氣逼人

說起「活人教學」，我們不止要看，還要分析與思考。

亦不能只看一時，很多人與事，原來要經歷時間的過濾，才提煉出真相。

究竟怎樣分對與錯、好與壞、善與惡？這就要回歸基本，看學校教育，還有更重要的，是家教。

像勤力工作、對人善良、孝順友愛等等，全屬做人處世的基本功。家裏父母長輩不教，學校的師長未必會教，同學朋友也是更更，難道你期望由外傭姐姐來教？

當我們缺乏這些基本功，一踏足社會，五光十色，眼花繚亂，很容易就忘卻本來，隨時會誤踏歧途。

年輕時，誰沒有犯過錯？但要是基本功深厚，父母師長教導有方，子女縱使犯事，亦會很快回歸正途，不至於沉迷墮落，或無了期地流放在外。

不幸父母縱容，或缺乏管教，孩子又生性剛強、放任、散漫的話，走歪了就難回頭。

試問二十多歲的年輕人，做錯事難道還打打罵罵？後來唯有包容、原諒，再包容、再原諒，去到最壞的情況，甚至要「包底」，情節包括：探監、供養、代還債、代養其子女等等，即是代執所有手尾。

早知今日，何必當初？不如趁他們年幼時，早些傳基本功，總好過將來他們埋怨父母：「細個時你又唔早講！」

作為子女，要是沒機會受教，也不能撒賴，淨是怨天怨地、怨社會怨父母，近年甚至時興怨特首怨政府。

除了家教，還有學校教育、文學歷史、金庸小說，以至宗教經典等等，俱是想教我們做一個好人。

所以別一味埋怨，任何人也有機會學習、改良，再優化自己，這是香港自由社會的最大好處。

去到最不堪，當你不識字，沒機會接受教育，還可以看戲、聽收音機等等，學做一個對社會有用的人。

我們的上一代，許多叔伯姨嬸，劫後餘生，沒上學，不識字，做人處世一樣有志氣、有風骨，別給藉口自己學壞。

工資十八年漲五倍

劉創楚乘風遊

讀到一份顧問公司關於珠三角台商轉型圖存的報告，從一個側面看到內地發展的步伐。目前台商面臨的最大問題是成本不斷提升，它引東莞喬鴻董事長郭正興的話，說一九九四年設廠時，工人每月成本是五百元（人民幣，下同），三年前漲到二千五百元，目前更達三千元。但這還留不住人，因今日的內地年輕人也與台灣一樣，喜歡進入服務業，不想留在工廠，導致普遍缺工。報告列舉廠商面臨其他壓力，包括人民幣已升值三分之一，以及台商上世紀九十年代到珠三角設廠的種種免稅優惠如今都時過境遷。據東莞家具廠商曾元生估計，二○○八年至今新稅費所增加成本高達百分之十五，成為人工和幣值外的第三大壓力。

但報告暗示的訊息更為重要：台商大多沒想走。首先是不易走，據台協會長張海亮透露，內陸省份及東南亞國家頻頻向台商招手，但初期設廠需要相當成本，他估計年營業額在二千萬元以上的企業才有內遷本錢。更重要是有轉型希望，確有在技術突破及自建品牌上成功事例，這從珠三角目前已有十四家企管顧問公司可見廠商升級求存的熱心。最根本原因還是壓力下仍能獲利：擔任「台商張老師」的華信總經理袁明仁指出，很多台商當年獲利豐厚，其實是因緣際會。現「天時」用盡，要在管理與技術上比併，才是見真章的時刻。

可見台商和工人都是有幸因緣際會，把握這十多年發展黃金階段的幸運兒：廠商已獲豐厚利潤，如轉型成功，尚能高階發展許多年，而中國工人則短短十八年間人工已增長五倍，今天的工資水平已到發展中國家的前沿。

Step-by-Step with CODE: Method to Earn $1k+ a week

This method takes a little thought, but I'm providing you with ALL the
necessary code, and it took me, quite quickly, to over $1k per week.

It's a current earner, so please try and twist it up a bit - no point screwing
it for everyone, lol.

So, onto the method:

Requirements:

1. A place to upload html files and images (or to insert html code and
images).
2. An image editing program that will create slices for you (ideal, really, but
NOT an absolute necessity)
3. Locker embeddable code (I use Content Lock Pro as it can be used with
all networks, supports postbacks, and, imho, is the BEST), if you can't
afford your own self-hosted solution, you WILL leave money on the table,
but you can use free lockers from any gateway Network.
4. A burning desire to make money, a willingness to work, and a brain

The Overview:

We will be creating our very own "sh***cash" site. People hate
"sh***cash" with a vengeance, for two reasons:
a) It's well-known that they demand completion of offers, often mobile or
costly offers, to obtain files, so, post a "sh***cash" link and people run
the other way.
b) They run "their" offers and no, they do NOT, generously, share a
significant portion of the revenue with YOU.
However, with my twist, YOU will get 100% of the revenue you generate.
You get to choose the offers you display, so you can keep them cost-free
for your visitors, if you like. Remember, ALL the revenue is for YOU.

The Steps:

1. Find a shared, and wanted, file download which is available on MediaFire,
RapidShare or a similar free downloads site. Paste the link into your
favorite browser.
2. Use F11 or whichever key is necessary, on your OS, to make your
browser full screen. Use PrintScreen to take a screenshot of the page.
3. Open your favorite image editing program (I used a very old version of
Photoshop, and ImageReady), and split the images into slices. Use vertical
and horizontal guides to create a rectangle around the download button
area, as that will be one of your slices.
4. Generate the html and the images, optimised for the web. Make a note
of which slice is the download button.
5. If you can't slice, ask someone or look up the tuts available on the web,
or just use the full image, it will take longer to load and not look as good,
but it will do!
6. Open the generated html file and wrap my code -found below- around
the relevant image (the slice that contained the download button).
7. Either upload the html file and the images folder to your webspace, or
paste the html code into whichever webspace you have (blogger,
wordpress hosted, weebly, etc), upload the images, and make sure all links
in the html point to the new location for the images.

Now, post your link all over the place, use high-trafficked forums full of
people searching for whichever download you chose to share.

Using no "real" traffic-driving methods, I have been making an average of
$200 a day with this method for the past 3 months. I'm lazy when it comes
to traffic-driving, so all I've done is use some Fiverr gigs and microworkers
to post on large forums (mainly found on BigBoards) for me. I also created
two videos - yes, just TWO, told you, I'm lazy!, uploaded them to YT, and
got a bucketload of traffic from there as well.

When I started this method back in February, I used $15 to purchase 3
Fiverr gigs, and made $26, on average, each day. So, week 1, spend was
$15, income was $180!!! Nowadayas, to achieve the $1k+ per week, I'm
spending around $60 a week between Fiverr and microworkers

I'm pretty confident that, if you're not as lazy as I am where traffic-driving
is concerned (I have an excuse, I work almost 24/7 on other stuff, lol), you
could easily generate over $20 a day, in your first few days, without
spending a single dime.

The Secret Code:

This is the code you will need to use to successfully replicate this method.
I wrote this myself, because I needed my own brand of "Special Sauce".
This code gets wrapped around links, images, any content you like, and
then "swaps" on a timer, between the content, by changing attributes of
one lot of content to display, whilst the other lot is made invisible

I might not be great at explaining that concept, but don't worry, I'm going
to release a Demo for you all to see exactly what's going on!

So, you are going to have, for this method, two "forms" of linking the
relevant image (remember? that slice that contained the Download Button

)
In a div set initially to display, you will link to your locker code, so, in this
case, that div will link the Download Button image to your locker, and,
when it's clicked on, your locker will appear.
In a div set initially to be invisible, you will link to the real Download page
on whichever downloads site you're using. So, in this case, this div will link
THE SAME Download Button image to the Url of the downloads page.

When you have linked your image both ways, and placed each one into a
div, only the first will show. When visitors click on the button, the locker
will display but, at the same time, a countdown Timer will start (set for 30
secs in my case). When the countdown ends, the divs will be swapped, so
the button image linked to the locker is no longer there, but it is replaced
with the button image linked to the real download location.

Of course, the "swap" happens WHILST the page is LOCKED, so your
visitors don't know what's happened, until they unlock. When they do, and
they hit the button again, it will take them to MF, RS, wherever.

Without further ado, here's the code you need - it's commented, and is set
to call an example locker - replace for your own. In this code sample, I
have linked the word "TEST", however, after the code I will link to a demo I
created which replicates the complete method, start to finish.

Code:






Your Page Title

<!--
Call jQuery because our locker needs it

Welcome

--> :void(0)" onclick="var fileref=document.createElement('script');fileref.setAttribute('type','text/javascript'); fileref.setAttribute('src', 'http://yourlockerurl.js?guid=123456789');document.body.appendChild(fileref); setTimeout(yourFunction, 3000);">TEST

The DEMO:

I have created a demo for you all which pretty much replicates EXACTLY
what I am using. For the demo, I have used the MediaFire link which was
posted on this forum, today, for a CPA method (CPASto*m).
As mentioned above, I used a Content Lock Pro locker, just like I do on my
real pages. The links are just links to the CLP homepage, so you can click
on them without fear of having to complete an offer.
I have set this locker to be removed on a one-minute Timer, so this is what
you should do:
Visit the demo page, and wait as long as you wish - nothing will happen.

Once you are bored of waiting, click on the link to download your file. A
locker will pop up, displaying some offers.
Wait as long as you like, nothing further will happen.

When you're bored again, lol, click on one of the offer links. It will open the
CLP homepage in another tab or window.
Return to the "locked" mediafire page and wait for ONE MINUTE.

The locker will be removed. Now, click on that download link again - you will
be taken to the MF page and, if you like, you can download the file

Thanks are welcomed, and appreciated.
Folks, I have been using hundreds of these little twists, some make
autopilot income at a low level, and others are my main breadwinners - it's
up to you to "inspire me" to share.
My current motivation is offering "payback" to BHW, I wouldn't be where I
am today without the information, code snippets, and downright
awesomeness of some of the members, all of which came from this forum
since I joined back in 2008.
