如何评价《互联网之子》？这个纪录片的意义到底在哪里
我没有能力去评价一个纪录片，也没法说这到底有什么意义。我们要么为Aaron感到佩服、震撼、感动，要么为他感到可惜、伤心、难过，可这又有什么意义？我感受到的是作为人类的渺小和无知。即便天才如Aaron，也并不知道他的坚持到底能为世界带来怎样的影响。我们的世界到底是如何运行的？怎样是变得更好？怎样是更差？互联网会改变世界，信息公开会改变世界，那消除壁垒就会让世界变得更好？处处为了赚钱的商业，人性的贪婪和懒惰同样让世界变得“更好”，而有的时候壁垒也会成为保护个人权利的武器。芸芸众生，表面上是努力争取，实际上都是被动接受，一切无常。从Aaron的故事里我看到的是另一个世界，一个我并不直接参与的世界。我的世界可能被他影响，但其主宰终究是我，而他的世界终究由他主宰。人们都生而孤独。
如何评价纪录片《互联网之子》？本片的意义在哪里？
本片的意义在于向很多人介绍了Aaron Swartz，从而改变了很多人的生活方向。我就是其中之一。我们的重心不应该放在那个复杂的案件上，而更应该看看我们能从Aaron身上学到什么。本人研究过很多关于他的资料。这里列出两点。1.他是一个好奇心极其强烈的人。以下是他的原话：When I was a kid, I thought a lot about what made me different from the other kids. I don't think I was smarter than them and I certainly wasn't more talented. And I definitely can't claim I was a harder worker — I've never worked particularly hard, I've always just tried doing things I find fun.当我还是个小孩的时候，我就在思考为什么我与其他孩子不一样。我不认为我比他们更聪明，当然也不是更有才能。而且我也不敢说我更勤奋——我从来没有非常努力地工作过，我只是总去做那些我觉得很有意思的事情。Instead, what I concluded was that I was more curious— but not because I had been born that way. If you watch little kids, they areintensely curious, always exploring and trying to figure out how things work.我最终得到的结论是我比其他孩子有更多的好奇心——但这可不是因为我天生如此。如果你去看那些小孩子，他们都极其好奇，总是在探索，试图弄明白事情的原理。The problem is that school drives all that curiosity out. Instead of letting youexplore things for yourself, it tells you that you have to read these particular books and answer these particular questions. And if you try to dosomething else instead, you'll get in trouble. Very few people's curiosity can survive that.可问题在于学校扼杀了这所有的好奇心。因为它不仅不让你自己去探索事情，还告诉你必须要读那些特定的教科书，回答那些特定的问题。而你如果尝试做其他的事情，你就会陷入麻烦。在这个过程中很少有人的好奇心能存活下来。But, due to some accident, mine did. I kept being curious andjust followed my curiosity. First I got interested in computers, which led meto get interested in the Internet, which led me to get interested in building online news sites, which led me to get interested in standards (like RSS), which led me to get interested in copyright reform (since Creative Commons wanted to use similar standards). And on and on.但意外的是我成功了。我依然保持好奇而且跟随着我的好奇心。最初我是对电脑感兴趣，这让我对互联网产生了兴趣，进而我开始喜欢建网站，这又让我对一些诸如RSS的规范产生兴趣，然后我又对版权改革感兴趣了（因为Creative Commons 想采用类似的标准）。就这样不断持续下去。
