電話號碼是接上了才有意義: You've got a friend - Joanna Wang

我們正要步入智能手機的盛世, 人與人之間的聯絡方法多得幾乎泛濫。電郵十多年前興起的時候, 雖然已有傳真, 但一直寫信的我們驚訝文字可以在按"send"的一剎到達地球另一端, 而且完全免費。文字已經可以免費即時傳達, 不是什麼新鮮事, 對於instant messager, 也不覺得是什麼一回事。後來, 到圖象、聲音可以簡化成1與0, 語音和視象通話都變得很平常時, 我們真的發現人與人的距離, 拉近了。

smartphone的出現, 將一切只可以坐在電腦面前做的事, 變得更流動。眼前看到的景象, 拍下來, 發放規模自訂, 小則whatsapp傳給好友, 大則上載至各個社交網站, 讓數百個朋友或路人甲乙丙即時一睹為快。viber tango 等的出現讓通話隔了幾個大洋大洲也變得無障礙,沒時間聊但又想聽到對方的聲音無所謂, 用talk box 就好, 留下一兩句話即時傳送, 多簡單。我們已經習慣了沒有氣味、沒有觸碰的關係。

whatsapp或viber 等幾個受歡迎的程式最讓人喜歡的地方是它不需要另外註冊, 安裝後程式會自動偵察電話通訊錄裡同樣使用程式的人。於是, 簡單的八個數字, 從語音通話無限延伸至視象對話, 到照片、音樂、所在位置GPS的傳送。

只是, 各式各樣的程式只是為電話號碼增加用途, 面對通訊錄裡面一堆不會撥的電話號碼, 我不了解聯繫方法多或少的意義, 就好像面對facebook上面一大堆沒有互動的朋友一樣。

號碼只是數字, 是接上了才有意義。 而且, 接上了只是個開始。

You've got a Friend - Joanna Wang 王若琳


When you're down and troubled 
And you need a helping hand 
And nothing, nothing is going right 
Close your eyes and think of me 
And soon I will be there 
to brighten up even your darkest nights 

You just call out my name 
And you know wherever I am 
I'll come running to see you again 
Winter, spring, summer, or fall 
All you have to do is call 
and I'll be there, yes i will
You've got a friend 

If the sky above you 
should turn dark and full of clouds 
And that cold north wind should begin to blow 
Keep your head together and call my name out loud 
And soon I will be knocking upon your door
 
You just call out my name 
And you know wherever I am 
I'll come running to see you again 
Winter, spring, summer or fall 
all you got to do is call 
and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend? 
People can be so cold 
They'll hurt you and desert you 
Well they'll take your soul if you let them 
Oh yeah, but don't you let them 

You just call out my name 
And you know wherever I am 
I'll come running to see you again 
Oh babe, don't you know that 
Winter, spring, summer or fall 
Hey now, all you've got to do is call 
Lord, I'll be there, yes I will 
You've got a friend 
You've got a friend 
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend 
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend 
You've got a friend
