At Cornell University, the “Hi, Mom!” view went online in April, a few months after the university replaced an old and fixed camera. The new system had more bells and whistles, but took in a narrower view. Carrie Sanzone, who examines the camera, says the feedback(反馈) is divided into three kinds: alumni(毕业生,校友) who preferred the original postcard-perfect view of McGFraw Tower; campus staff who wanted an eye over Cayuga Lake to know what to wear at lunch; and parents who admitted to observing the ant-sized figures on Ho Plaza for signs of their kids.
Ms. Sanzone thought that if many people wanted to see their children, maybe the school should help them out. This spring she programmed the camera, so users could choose between three settings: McGraw Tower (with sky and lake), Ho Plaza, and “Hi, Mom!”. Web visitors get control of the camera for 30 seconds at a time.
The school doesn’t track(追踪) the use of the “Hi, Mom!” setting, but says its web video page gets 50,000 to 60,000 views a month-making it one of the most visited pages on the university’s website.
Evidence suggests the “Hi, Mom!” view is a bigger hit with Mom than her children.
When the camera first went up, Ms. Mathis says, her mother would freely call to check if she was near it. “My mom said, ‘Every time you go back to the campus store, you need to call! You need to call!’ I did not call her every time I went to the campus store, ” she said.
Judging from the e-mails to Cornell’s webmaster, however, anything is better than nothing. One mother said, “It’s just wonderful, even if my son has only gone there once the whole term.”

B
There are two basic differences between the large and the small enterprises. In the small enterprise you operate primarily through personal contacts. In the large enterprise you have established “policies”, “channels” of organization, and fairly rigid procedures. In the small enterprise you have, moreover, immediate effectiveness in a very small area. You can see the effect of your work and of your decisions right away, once you are a little above the ground floor. In the large enterprise even the man at the top is only part of a big machine. To be sure, his actions affect a much greater area than the actions and decisions of the man in the small organization, but his effectiveness is remote, indirect, and difficult to see at first sight. In a small and even in a middle-sized business you are normally exposed to all kinds of experiences, and expected to do a great many things without too much help or guidance. In the large organization you are normally taught one thing thoroughly. In the small one the danger is of becoming a jack-of-all-trades and master of none. In the large one it is of becoming the man who knows more and more about less and less.
There is one other important thing to consider: do you get a deep sense of satisfaction from being a member of a well-known organization-General Motors, the Bell Telephone System, the government? Or is it more important to you to be a well-known and important figure within your own small pond? There is a basic difference between the satisfaction that comes from being a member of a large, powerful, and generally known organization, and the one that comes from being a member of family; between impersonal grandeur(高贵) and personal-often much too personal-intimacy(亲密); between life in a small office on the top floor of a skyscraper and life in a crossroads gas station.

A. to eat and drink B. to use your cell phone
C. to leave your purse on the desk D. to ask for more scratch paper
