5G時代~物聯網 生活到底有什麼不同？
The coming age of 5G and the Internet of Things 5G+
5G時代，下載一部高畫質電影只需要1秒鐘，不僅是傳輸速度快，想像一下，坐在無人車內，戴上智慧眼鏡，觀看遠在亞洲西南方的卡達（二零二二年國際足協世界盃主辦國），正在舉行的世界盃開幕典禮。而坐在旁邊的朋友，則是透過車上的後座螢幕，正與他的主治醫生討論癌症抗藥性後的下一步治療方式。
In the era of 5G data communication, downloading a high-definition movie will take just one second. It’s much more than just ultra-fast communication speeds, however. Imagine this: while riding in an autonomous car you’re wearing a pair of smart glasses and watching the 2022 Qatar World Cup opening ceremony from far away in Southwest Asia. Meanwhile, your friend sitting next to you is discussing with their chief physician the next stage of their post-chemoresistance cancer treatment.
事實上，5G生活最大的改變，來自於物聯網改變了生活，包括家庭、工作等，在家裡，因為萬物聯網，就像現在的智慧音箱，它只是其中的一部分，大家想像很多科幻電影的畫面，家裡就像有一個AI（人工智慧），人們可以用語言指揮它，無所不能。
In fact, the greatest change will come from the way that 5G alters our lives through the Internet of Things (IoT), both at home and at work. In homes today we have smart speakers, but this will be just one component of IoT. Just like in a science fiction movie, an AI-driven personal assistant will be at your beck and call, conjured up with a verbal command anytime, anywhere.
大家在享受5G的便利性，可別忘了它也可能帶來別的傷害。過分仰賴科技，人類喪失自我思考的能力；過度的便利性，人與人之間實際見面的互動大幅降低，親情、友情不再關係緊密；減少出門，人們越來越宅，活在自己的世界裡，衍生出精神方面的疾病。5G雖然帶來前所未有的便利，但它的傷害，也可能會不經意地侵蝕你我的身心。
When we enjoy the convenience of 5G, we should take care not to forget the potential for harm the new technology may bring. An over-reliance on technology strips us of the ability to think for ourselves, and can also deliver an unhealthy level of convenience. It can also have the side effect of significantly reducing face-to-face, interpersonal interaction, inhibit intimacy between family members and cause friendships to become distant. With fewer reasons to go outdoors, people may become increasingly homebound and trapped in their own worlds, potentially leading to mental illness. Although 5G will bring an unprecedented amount of convenience, it could also have the unintentional effect of depleting our physical and mental experience.
