数字时代的等级制度-Caste System of the Digital Age
by Joanna Glasner
3:00 a.m. 19.Jul.99.PDT
In their upcoming book, NetSlaves: True Tales of Working the Web, former cub
icle jockeys Steve Baldwin and Bill Lessard set out to dismiss the stereotyp
e that Net workers are all a bunch of happy kids with lots of stock options.
"We believe the new media world is not like an open, classless society," sai
d Baldwin. "We believe there's a pecking order and a power structure."
“新媒体并不是所想象的开放的和无阶级的社会，而是有着严密的权利，地位的尊卑制
度”
And as in any food chain, bottom feeders outnumber those at the top.
Here are the major castes Net Slaves authors Baldwin and Lessard have identi
fied in the Web workforce:
Mole People - 鼹鼠人: Both Lessard and Baldwin identified themselves as memb
ers of the Net's lowest caste, the so-called mole people. Unpaid or underpai
d, low-profile, and often cynical, mole people post obscure Web sites about
their personal hobbies or scurry from one short-term gig to another. They ne
ver cash in a stock option. Cops and Streetwalkers - 网络警察和联防队: If th
e Web had street corners, these would be the people hanging out on them at 3
in the morning. The streetwalker caste consists mostly of people involved i
n the profitable Net porn business. The cop class could include anyone from
an editor at a porn-filtering site to an anti-smut lobbyist. Social Workers
- 社会工作者: These are your real community-booster types. Social workers ru
n online chat sites, keep up bulletin boards, and run newsgroups. "The socia
l workers are the emoticon masters of the new media universe," Lessard says.
Not a bad sort, overall. Also very unlikely to strike it rich. Garbagemen -
垃圾人: Someone has to clean up the refuse on the tech frontier. Garbagemen
are the people who run help desks, do low-level coding, and check to see th
at sites and services are free of bugs. Cab Drivers - 出租司机: These are yo
ur really savvy freelance types. Web designers, content producers, and other
s with obscure Net industry titles who hop from job to job. Cab drivers ofte
n get well-paid gigs here and there, but aren't looking for long-term stuff.
"They're trying to pick up a good fare to the airport," Baldwin says. Fry C
ooks - 厨师: The cubicle-bound slobs who work in the back offices, carrying
out the business plans that marketing execs come up with. Fry cooks tend to
be young, overworked, and often angry at the world. Gold Diggers and Gigolos
- 淘金者和舞男: Think conference speakers and marketers. Gold diggers are e
xpert networkers, fast talkers, and good at spinning a glamorous mystique ar
ound things like targeted e-commerce marketing and portal personalization. C
owboys and Cardsharks - 牛仔和: In the e-commerce era, the closest thing to
a cowboy may, oddly enough, be a consultant. The consultant caste is famous
for taking on a project, building something that's full of holes, pocketing
the cash, and leaving town before the authorities can catch up. Priests and
Madmen - 传教士和疯子: Otherwise known as visionaries, digerati, or anyone w
ho puts in a guest appearance on ZDTV. These are the laptop-toting pundits w
ho claim to foresee the digital future, often with notably absurd results. "
They're much sought after by the rest of the business, which just doesn't ha
ve a clue," Baldwin says. Robots - 机器人: These are people who actually hav
e a solid understanding of how computers and networks function. Once viewed
as a distant cousin of the much-maligned mole people, these sorts have manag
ed to claw their way close to the top of the caste system. Robber Barons - 橡
皮男爵: The all-powerful rulers of the digital kingdom, held in awe and cont
empt by the lower castes. They're also the ones who own most of the stock.
