Imidlalo yekhompyuter kubomi bomntwana
Imidlalo yekhompyuter inomkhosi omkhulu wabachasi ongadinwanga kukusola imboni yezokudlala kunye nazo zonke izono ezinokufa. Andikwazi ukuthi ndiyabaxhasa kunye nezityholo zabo. Ngokuqinisekileyo abanasiseko. Kodwa ndifuna ukufumanisa ukuba: ngaba yimidlalo kuphela enetyala? Uyayikhumbula intlekele yasebusika yowe-1997 kwidolophu yasePaducah kwiphondo laseMelika? Ngomso oqaqambileyo wasebusika wokuqala kwinyanga kaDisemba, uMichael Carneal oneminyaka eli-14 ubudala wathatha imipu emithandathu waya nayo esikolweni. Emva koko wazimela emithini walinda de waphela umthandazo wesikolo. Xa abafundi baqala ukuphuma kwindlu yenkonzo, wadubula ngokukhawuleza wabulala abantwana besikolo abathathu kwaye abanye abahlanu benzakala kakhulu. Iintatheli zazisa umhlaba wonke ngentlekele ngaphandle kokulibazisa. Ndiyithatha njengempazamo yokuqala. Ngoba? Abanye abantu banokucinga: ‘Kutheni ndingazami ukwenza iqhinga elinje ndize ndaziwe ehlabathini lonke?’ Ndikholelwe, kukho abantu aboneleyo abanokucinga ngoluhlobo. Imithombo yeendaba akufuneki ixhokonxe ukucinga kwabo gwenxa ngezihlazo ezinjalo. Yinkolelo yam yobuqu. Kodwa sihlala kuluntu olukhululekileyo, olunesiqinisekiso senkululeko yokuthetha kunye nokuyifihla le nto eluntwini kuya kungqina okwahlukileyo.
Ngelishwa, ukuthandabuza kwam kuzaliseka. Le ntlekele yavakala eColorado kwidolophana yaseLittleton emva kwethutyana. Abaselula ababini u-Eric Harris (18) no-Dylan Klebold (17) bathathela ingqalelo amava abo bangaphambi kwabo kwaye bazisa esikolweni malunga nemigodi engamashumi amane eyenziwe ngezandla ezilawulwa ngonomathotholo. Emva koko baqala ukuqhushumbisa imigodi kwaye ngenxa yokothuka badubula imipu yabo yokuzingela kumaqabane abo esikolo. Abantu abangama-20 ababuleweyo babulawa. Ukufika kwamapolisa la ‘magorha’ azidubulayo kwilayibrari yesikolo. Njengakwimeko yokufikisa okokuqala aba bafana babini babengabalandeli be-DOOM kunye ne-Quake. Abathathu bachitha lonke ixesha labo kumadabi omnatha, babenamaphepha abo ewebhu abazinikele kwimidlalo abayithandayo kwaye bakha amanqanaba. Ukuhlalutya izizathu zokuziphatha okugwenxa iingcali zakhubeka ngombuzo wokuba ngubani owonileyo? abazali babantwana ababuleweyo babesazi kakuhle ukuba ngubani onetyala. Bamangalela imboni yolonwabo nge-130 yezigidi zeedola. Bazisa ityala kubanini abathathu beendawo zamanyala, iinkampani ezimbalwa eziphuhlisa imidlalo yekhompyuter kunye nenkampani yefilimu iWarner Brothers ngefilimu yabo ethi ‘Basketball Diaries’, apho umlinganiswa ophambili abulala utitshala wakhe kunye namaqabane akhe esikolo. Nangona kunjalo uxinzelelo oluphambili lwalukwimidlalo ekhohlakeleyo. Umtshutshisi unyanzelisa ukuba imidlalo eveliswe zezi nkampani ‘ibonise ubundlobongela ngendlela enomtsalane nangakumbi’.
Ndicela ukubuza, kutheni le nto imidlalo ibekek ‘ityala kuqala? Amawaka emidlalo emitsha eza qho ngonyaka kwaye amawaka abantu ayidlalayo. imixholo yemidlalo ayinakuthelekiswa nobuninzi bokungcola kolwazi kwiimuvi. Uluvo lwam kukuba iifilimu azinabantu abakhuphisana nabo kubundlobongela. Iifilimu zibonisa izinto ezoyikeka ngokwenene: ulwaphulo-mthetho kufuneka lulungiswe njani kwaye kumnandi kangakanani ukubulala abantu abanjengawe. Kule nkalo imidlalo ingaphantsi. Ngaphandle kweemovie sikwanomabonwakude apho ingxelo nganye yolwaphulo-mthetho ibonisa iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zokubulala kunye nantoni na ekhoyo. Ngaba awuzikhathazi ngayo? Inkundla yamkela ngaphandle kwemeko iimpembelelo ezimbi zemidlalo kwisifo sengqondo sikaMichael. Nangona kunjalo, uviwo lubonakalise ukuba ngokwaneleyo! Emva koku wagwetywa ubomi entolongweni ngaphandle kokufumana itikiti lekhefu kwiminyaka engama-25 yokuqala yexesha lakhe. UHarris noKlebold baya kugwetywa yenye inkundla.
