断网俱乐部，正成为年轻人的新潮流？
The Luddite club is gaining popularity among young people
毫无疑问，我们如今生活在一个超连接的社会中，新技术层出不穷，社交网络的使用在越来越年轻的人群中不断扩展。根据Heaven机构的一项对法国的研究，89%的12岁孩子拥有自己的智能手机，87%的11至12岁孩子定期使用至少一个社交应用。根据法国国家统计与经济研究所（INSEE）的一项研究，移动设备在法国已变得不可或缺：95%的人口拥有手机，尤其是77%拥有智能手机。然而，这种高度连接的生活方式并不符合所有人的心意。有些人想要摆脱社交网络，甚至彻底拒绝技术。这一运动被称为新卢德主义或现代卢德主义。
There is no denying we live today in an ultra-connected society with new technologies are emerging and the use of social networks is spreading among younger and younger people. According to a French study by the Heaven agency, 89% of 12-year-olds own their own smartphone and 87% of 11-12 year olds regularly use at least one social application. According to an INSEE study, in France, mobile equipment has now become indispensable: 95% of the population owns a mobile phone and 77% more particularly own a smartphone. But this ultra-connected lifestyle is not to everyone's taste. Some want to free themselves from social networks, or even reject the technology completely. This movement is called neo-Luddism or modern Luddism.
该术语源于历史上的卢德主义运动，以奈德·卢德（Ned Ludd）之名命名。他是一位18世纪末的英国工人，据称在工业化兴起之际，他通过破坏纺织机器表达对织布机使用的抗议，并发起了名为“卢德派”的秘密运动。传说中，卢德的织布手艺因纺织机器的出现而受影响，英格兰村庄传统的手工业者组织也面临冲击。担心被取代，越来越多的工匠加入其中，不仅是为了保护他们的职业，也是为了维护他们的传统生活方式，避免沦为工业家的雇佣劳动力。从那时起，对劳动机械化的斗争逐渐演变为对新技术进步的抵制。
The term takes its name from the Luddist movement, so named after Ned Ludd, an English worker who protested against the use of weaving machines in the late 18th century and initiated a clandestine movement called "The Luddites". Allegedly, Ludd started the movement by breaking textile machines during the rise of industrialization, which disrupted his purported trade skill of weaving, and the traditional merchant organization of English village life. Afraid of becoming obsolete, many more artisans joined in. Not only to protect their professions, but also to protect their traditional lives, which might be overturned through having to sell their labor to industrialists. Since then, the struggle against the mechanisation of work has evolved into an opposition to the progression of new technologies.
《纽约时报》曾深入报道了“卢德派俱乐部”的日常生活。该俱乐部是一个由布鲁克林高中生组成的团体，倡导从社交媒体和科技中解放自我的生活方式。俱乐部的25名成员决定完全放弃使用智能手机和社交网络。此外，每周他们都会在纽约的公共图书馆或公园聚会，花时间一起阅读、绘画、写作、交流、冥想、听音乐等，完全不使用手机。他们也欢迎那些仍持有智能手机的学生加入活动。俱乐部的目标不仅是摆脱手机，更是远离整个互联网，尤其是社交媒体。关于这种生活方式的益处，他们认为，这能提高自尊心，减少与社交网络相关的焦虑，同时增加对阅读和自然的兴趣。
The New York Times newspaper was able to follow the daily life of the "Luddite Club", a group of Brooklyn high school students who promote a lifestyle of self-liberation from social media and technology. Its 25 members have decided to abandon their smartphones but also social networks. The group meets weekly in a New York public library or park to spend time together reading, drawing, writing, talking, meditating, listening to music, etc. without their phones. All are welcome to join even if they still have a smartphone. The club’s goal is not just to free themselves from phones but from the internet as a whole, especially social media. The benefits? They claim it leads to better self-esteem, decreased anxiety related to social networks, and a growing interest in reading and nature.
有人批评卢德派俱乐部的理念过于不切实际和激进，因为在如今的社会，要在学业、社交和经济上与社会保持同步的同时完全隔绝网络，几乎是不可能的。例如，如果一名学生在大一时拒绝下载Facebook，可能会发现自己跟不上信息步伐，错过重要活动。在如此竞争激烈的环境中，不使用手机进行实习面试或求职，更是一个重大的劣势。
Some critique the mission of Luddite club as unrealistic and radical, as it would be extremely challenging—if not impossible—to be so isolated and simultaneously stay on track academically, socially, and financially. If a student refused to download Facebook in freshman year, he is likely to find himself out-of-the-loop and missing important events. Networking for internships, or looking for jobs without a phone is a significant disability in such a competitive environment.
无论如何，卢德派俱乐部反映着年轻人中形成了一种潮流，根据Hill Holliday公司对Z世代人群（1995年后出生的人群）的调查，半数受访者表示他们已停止或正考虑停止使用至少一个社交媒体平台。2020年，美国出现了一个名为“离线 (Log Off)”的青少年运动，旨在提供一个平台，让大家讨论社交网络带来的危害以及如何更健康地使用它们。该运动已经在十多个国家吸引了成千上万的青少年参与。
Anyway, this has been a notable trend among young people. According to a study by American marketing firm Hill Holliday on Generation Z – those born after 1995, half of respondents said they had stopped or are considering stopping at least one social media platform. In 2020, in the United States, a youth movement called "Log Off", which decided to provide a space for conversation about the harm caused by social networks and how to use them in healthier way. The movement has engaged with thousands of teens in more than a dozen countries.
