たとえば、「あるボタンを押すと今の自分にとって必要な教育的なコンテンツしか出てこない」というようなフィルターがかかればいいのかもしれませんが、ウェブだといつのまにか、自分が勉強しようと思っていたこととは違う、全然関係ないことに辿りついてしまい、そのまま流されていってしまうということがよくあります。こんな現象を、イスラエルの教育メディア学者ガブリエル・サロモンは、「バタフライ・ディフェクト」と呼びました。つまりウェブのようなメディアだと、誰もがフラフラと飛び回ってしまうだけで、落ち着いて深い思考や学びができなくなる危険性がある。[185〜186ページ] ↗

I think humans might be like butterflies; people die every day without many other people knowing about them, seeing their colors, hearing their stories... and when humans are broken, they're like broken butterfly wings; suddenly there are so many beauties that are seen in different ways, so many thoughts and visions and possibilities that form, which couldn't form when the person wasn't broken! So it is not a very sad thing to be broken, after all! It's during the times of being broken, that you have all the opportunities to become things unforgettable! Just like the broken butterfly wing that I found, which has given me so many thoughts, in so many ways, has shown me so many words, and imaginations! But butterflies need to know, that it doesn't matter at all if the whole world saw their colors or not! But what matters is that they flew, they glided, they hovered, they saw, they felt, and they knew! And they loved the ones whom they flew with! And that is an existence worthwhile! ↗

Why is a caterpillar wrapped in silk while it changes into a butterfly? So the other caterpillars can't hear the screams. Change hurts ↗
