Even as it becomes easier to see and care for people lying injured on the side of the virtual highway, it becomes harder to perceive and easier to ignore the “road” conditions that caused their injuries – poor nutrition, poverty, inadequate prenatal care, corruption, diversion of resources, and the like. Like so many modern tools, Watsi encourages a short-term, emotional approach to the state of the world.
问题不只在于Watsi。即使看到虚拟高速公路另一头躺着受伤者并提供帮助更加容易，但导致他们手上的“路况”——营养不良、贫困、产前护理不足、腐败、资源转移等——却更不容易被看清、跟容易被忽略。和许多现代工具一样，Watsi鼓励短期的、情感的观点看待世界的状态。这就像是用望远镜观看，只有细节，没有整体。
