Kwesinye isikhathi kubonakala sengathi azipheli izindaba ezimbi ezinkundleni zokuxhumana. Ukuphahlazeka kwezindiza nezinye izinhlekelele, izithembiso ezingafezekanga zosopolitiki, ukukhuphuka kwentengo kanye nesimo somnotho esiwohlokayo… Kungase kubonakale sengathi into enengqondo kakhulu ukuvele uvale i-Facebook futhi ubuye emhlabeni ongokoqobo uye empilweni yangempela. Kodwa ngezinye izikhathi, ngesizathu esisodwa noma esinye, lokhu akunakwenzeka. Nokho, kusemandleni ethu ukuthola “ikhambi” ngobukhulu be-Internet efanayo. Isibonelo, bheka izithombe ... zezingane zezilwane.
"Ukwelapha" okunjalo kungase kubonakale kungahambisani nesayensi, kodwa empeleni, ukuphumelela kwale ndlela kuqinisekiswa imiphumela yocwaningo. Uma sibheka into enhle, amazinga okucindezeleka ayancipha, ukukhiqiza kuyanda, futhi lo msebenzi ungaqinisa umshado wethu.
Isimo somzwelo wethu sachazwa isazi sokusebenza kwengqondo yezilwane sase-Austria u-Konrad Lorenz: sikhangwa izidalwa ezinamakhanda amakhulu, amehlo amakhulu, izihlathi ezigcwele kanye namabunzi amakhulu, ngoba zisikhumbuza izingane zethu. Ubumnandi obabuphiwa okhokho bethu bezindla ngezingane zabo zenza ukuthi banakekele izingane. Kunjalo nanamuhla, kodwa uzwelo lwethu aludluliseli kumawundlu abantu kuphela, kodwa nasezifuyweni ezifuywayo.
Umcwaningi wezokuxhumana ngobuningi uJessica Gall Myrick ubefunda imizwelo evezwa yizilwane ezihlekisayo kithi, izithombe namavidiyo esiwathola ku-inthanethi, futhi wathola ukuthi sizwa imfudumalo efanayo naleyo lapho sixhumana nezingane zangempela. Ngobuchopho, awukho umehluko. "Ngisho nokubuka amavidiyo amazinyane kusiza labo abahlolwayo bazizwe bengcono: bazizwa benemizwa eyakhayo namandla."
Ucwaningo lukaMyrick lwabandakanya abantu abangu-7000. Kwaxoxwa nabo ngaphambi nangemva kokubuka izithombe namavidiyo namakati, futhi kwavela ukuthi uma ubheka isikhathi eside, umphumela ubonakala nakakhulu. Ososayensi baphakamise ukuthi njengoba izithombe zivusa imizwa eyakhayo ezifundweni, balindele imizwa efanayo ekubukeni izithombe namavidiyo afanayo esikhathini esizayo.
Mhlawumbe yisikhathi sokuyeka ukulandela “abacebile nabadumile” bese ulandela “abagqugquzeli” abanomsila nabanoboya.
Yiqiniso, ososayensi babhala ukuthi, mhlawumbe, abantu abangenandaba nezilwane babezimisele kakhulu ukubamba iqhaza ocwaningweni, okungathinta imiphumela. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ama-88% esampula ahlanganisa abesifazane abavame ukuthintwa kakhulu amawundlu ezilwane. Ngendlela, olunye ucwaningo lwathola ukuthi ngemva kokuba izihloko ziboniswe izithombe zezilwane ezifuywayo ezinhle, isifiso sabesifazane senyama sehla ngaphezu kwamadoda. Mhlawumbe iqiniso liwukuthi, njengomthetho, ngabesifazane abanakekela izingane.
U-Hiroshi Nittono, umqondisi we-Cognitive Psychophysiological Laboratory e-Osaka University, ubelokhu enza izifundo ezimbalwa nge-“kawaii,” umqondo osho yonke into enhle, ethandekayo, enhle. Ngokusho kwakhe, ukubuka izithombe ze-"kawaii" kunomthelela okabili: okokuqala, kusiphazamisa ezimweni ezibangela isithukuthezi nokucindezeleka, futhi okwesibili, "kusikhumbuza imfudumalo nesisa - imizwa abaningi bethu abangenayo." "Yebo, umphumela ofanayo ungafinyelelwa uma ufunda izincwadi eziphefumulayo noma ubukela amafilimu afanayo, kodwa, uyabona, lokhu kuthatha isikhathi esiningi, kuyilapho ukubuka izithombe namavidiyo kusiza ukugcwalisa igebe ngokushesha."
Ngaphezu kwalokho, kungaba nomthelela omuhle ebudlelwaneni bothando. Ucwaningo lwango-2017 luthole ukuthi uma imibhangqwana ibheka izithombe zezilwane ezinhle ndawonye, imizwa eyakhayo abayitholayo ekubukeni ihlotshaniswa nomlingani wabo.
Ngesikhathi esifanayo, udinga ukuqaphela ngokukhetha amapulatifomu wokubuka izithombe namavidiyo anjalo. Ngakho-ke, ngenxa yolunye ucwaningo olwenziwa ngo-2017, kwavela ukuthi i-Instagram isilimaza kakhulu ngokomzwelo, ngokwengxenye ngenxa yokuthi abasebenzisi bale nkundla yokuxhumana baziveza kanjani. Lapho sibona “impilo ekahle yabantu abalungile”, abaningi babo baba lusizi futhi babe babi.
Kodwa lesi akusona isizathu sokususa i-akhawunti yakho. Mhlawumbe sekuyisikhathi sokuyeka ukulandela “abacebile nabadumile” futhi ubhalisele “abagqugquzeli” abanomsila nabanoboya. Futhi ingqondo yakho izokubonga.
