Doyouagreeordisagreewiththefollowingstatement.Althoughscienceandtechnologywillcontinueto improve, the most significant improvement for the quality of people's lives have already taken place.
With the development of the science and technology, our life has been drastically changed. Upon the question “has the most essential improvement for people’s living quality taken place”, different people have distinct views. Some may think that the biggest change of people’s life has been taken place, while the others hold the opinion, which is also my point of view, that because the science and technology is continuing to advance, there will be some more significant impacts will exert on people’s life.
Admittedly, people indeed feel some dramatically changes. For instance, it just costs about 20 hours to fly across the Pacific Ocean. We could go shopping on line without leaving one step out of our rooms. We even know that transplanting an artificial organ into a human body is not a fairy tale. However, I have to act as a wet blanket here to point out that many problems concealing behind these changes are exerting negative influence on our daily life. And because of those problems, we could not say the most significant change has come.
Deteriorating environment is one of those problems. I heard from my parents that decades ago the river flows behind my house is so clear that people could see its riverbed and my parents often swam and washed clothes in it. But now, it’s smelly and I can often see dead fish floating on the surface. What the industrialization brings to me are little developments in life quality but also some unavoidable environmental problems. Apparently, it is inaccurate for us to conclude that we are benefited by the most important improvement from the developing of science and technology.
What’s more, the rapid increasing technology makes people busier and merely has no time to take a rest, which causes problems on their health. Students have to study a longer time and multiple subjects to make research in the new developed interdisciplinary fields. At the same time, workers have to work in a busier life style. They get up at 6:30 a.m. and rush to wash and have breakfast in hurry in case of miss the subway which is leaving at 7 a
m..After that, they spend 50 minutes to reach the company and begin a day’s work. Are those busy and unhealthy lifestyles can reflect a most significant improvement of standard of living? My answer is definitely no.
In sum, as far as I am concerned, although our life styles have changed drastically the most telling improvement on people’s living quality has not occurred yet because there are so many apparent problems like deteriorating environment and increasingly busy life style of people. Instead, we still have many jobs to do to realize that “significant improvement”. |
