網中人

前天十多分鐘的暴風雨, 導致悉尼山區廣泛停電。停電我都算頗習慣, 雷電交加時就常具停電的心理準備, 像這樣長的停電算是第一次。這次主要原因是樹木倒下, 在較舊的地區, 入屋的電纜是架空的而不是埋藏在地底的, 每一間獨立屋就有一條這樣的電纜, 狂風吹倒的樹木樹枝, 往往會壓斷電纜造成停電。一家半家的斷電纜還易搞, 多幾家斷纜, 在多個地區發生, 就造成這次的情況。我家的電纜是藏在地下的, 但每次都受周邊的斷纜影響。悉尼是地大物博的地方, 警察相對不足, 在這情況下, 十字路口的紅綠燈全熄滅了, 路燈全無, 駛過路口全靠互相忍讓, 因為找不到大量警察來指揮交通。

時刻上網的人, 因為停電一下子和網絡世界失去接觸, 會不知所措, 不單止家中無電所以無網絡, 連手機也沒有網絡的情況下, 可以做甚麼? 我就像礦工一樣, 拿了戴在頭上的電筒出來, 行動自如, 靜靜看書。別以為可以鑿壁偷光, 屋內和街外漆黑一片, 不打開電筒, 根本伸手不見五指。以前在香港完全沒有這種經驗。如果弄一次全港停電幾小時,肯定會有人瘋了。

這次我家停電32小時, 有些朋友只停了半天,有些重災區超過兩天電力還未復修。現代人都變成網絡奴隸,生活都被網絡包圍而不能自拔。我們上網,一言一行, 一舉一動,都被窺伺監察,你有甚麽喜好, 去過甚麽地方, 都難逃網眼。當你在網上瀏覽,在版面旁邊就會知你心意彈出你想找尋的資料,或者你找尋過的東西。好方便啊。其實好恐怖啊! 我們還有甚麼私隱可言。當我們在google search "idiot"這個字, Donald Trump的照片就彈了出來, 弄得我們很開心。可是當我們提起他的名字, 我們寫過他的文字內容卻又立即被人分析。世上還有秘密嗎?

停電和手機訊號失靈使我擺脫了被網絡監控一整天, 到手機網絡間竭復修之後, 朋友又邀請我們到他們那裏上網和充電, 我們又自投羅網了。我們有沒有想過, 在不知不覺間, 我們的思想和意識形態, 已無形中朝向網絡設定為我們開啟的牢籠走進去 。停電就像在牢籠裏放風, 吸收新鮮空氣的自由時間。但我們淪陷在網中, 成為奴隸也不自知。

  1. 標少:我去過澳大利亞不同城市,從北Darwin, 至南Tasmania 短住過,重未感受到停電。所以這次是覺得特然。
    從你的行文,停電對大家的影響,最主要還是綱上結連,反之我們一向認為是基本的衣食住行,(文中有提交通混亂點),好像已經不是怎麼重要了。
    有感時移世易,不得不承認綱絡難逃!

  3. 自從有網絡世界後,失去私隐早已預了,最大問題是失去寫中文字的能力,反而打英文没有甚麽損害,我用手寫版還算好,那些用輸入法的是在揀選字而不是打字啊!我小時候學字是從毛筆字開始的,但現在小明友寫的字體真不敢恭維,相信不久將來三數十年後能寫毛筆字揮春的,會如鳳毛麟角。或許,時代的每様進步就变相毁滅相關的文化!

    //根據終審法院今日批出的上訴許可,曾蔭權一方於終極上訴聆訊時,將就以下三項法律問題作爭拗:
    (一)犯罪意圖:除了要證明曾蔭權故意(deliberate)作出有關行為外,是否還要證明他明知自己的行為不合法、或漠視該行為有可能不合法,才構成「蓄意行為失當」(wilful misconduct)?

    (二)罪行嚴重性(seriousness):陪審團既然未能就曾蔭權貪污一罪達成有效裁決,法官應如何協助並引導陪審團衡量,曾蔭權的行為是否嚴重至足以構成公職人員行為失當這刑事罪行?

    (三)對被告造成重大不公(substantial and grave injustice):原審法官引導陪審團時,沒有指出必須證明曾蔭權是「故意」且明知自己行為會構成犯罪,反而指可基於他「故意隱瞞」與黃楚標之間的關係便裁定罪成。//

    //法官李義表示,陪審團曾向原審法官提問,當時辯方已表明應就曾蔭權是否「故意」犯案一點向陪審團解釋,惟原審法官卻回應指「故意(deliberate)」即是「蓄意(wilful)」,李官遂問律政司,是否同意原審法官引導陪審團時有遺漏?律政司同意原審法官的確有遺漏,但堅持上訴庭分析正確。//

    1. 「故意(deliberate)」同「蓄意(wilful)」其實有咩分別?

      刪除
    2. 這樣去分沒意思, 因為要用案例所討論的法律含義去分, (wilful includes being rec
      less)上訴庭在這一論據上有判決:

      112. It is argued by Ms Montgomery that to define “wilfully” for the jury as something done deliberately, and not by accident, inadvertence or oversight, was not enough in this particular case: the jury should also have been told that deliberate meant “in the sense that the official knew that his conduct was unlawful or wilfully disregarded the risk that his conduct was unlawful”: see Sin Kam Wah v HKSAR, at paragraph 46.
      ...
      115. The prosecution had never put their case against this applicant on the basis that he was reckless in failing to disclose his dealings with Wong: nor would the defence have wanted such a direction. We can, therefore, quite understand why the judge (as well as counsel for both parties) did not wish to complicate the jury’s task by introducing the notion of recklessness, whereby the applicant disregarded the risk that his conduct was unlawful.

      116. The case for the prosecution was at all times that the applicant, in making decisions concerning Wong’s companies had deliberately concealed his private dealings with Wong when it would have been obvious to him that he should declare them. “Wilful” may not have been a word familiar to all members of a jury. However, they would have well understood what “deliberate” meant. The Shorter Oxford dictionary defines the primary meaning of the word as “carefully thought out, studied; intentional, done on purpose”. If something is done “not by accident”, then it is done on purpose; if it is done “not by inadvertence”, then it is considered; if it is done “not by oversight”, then it is knowingly done. The word “deliberate” in common parlance conveys all of these nuances of meaning. It is fanciful to suppose that the jury could have convicted the applicant of failing to disclose his dealings with Wong, in the context of this case, unless they were sure that he had deliberately intended not to disclose them.

      117. As an adjunct to the argument, Ms Montgomery complains that the jury were not told that they must be sure that, as well as finding his actions deliberate, the applicant “knew that his conduct was unlawful”. It is to be noted, however, pace Lord Alverstone and Gleeson CJ, that Ms Montgomery did not ask the judge to give such a direction either before, during or after the summing‑up. That is somewhat surprising in light of the mild rebuke issued by the Court of Appeal in HKSAR v Hui Rafael Junior & Others, at paragraph 230. However, we think that it was recognised by both parties and the judge himself that, in reality, it added nothing in the context of this case. A high‑ranking Government official who deliberately conceals a conflict of interest must know, with respect, what he is doing and that what he is doing is wrong.
