题目:As people rely more and more on technology, the ability of human to think for themself will surely deteriorate.
正文: I strongly disagree with the claim that technology will always deteriorate the ability of thinking of humankind, because it preclude the benefit and positive effects that technology bring to us and encourage us to think more deeply and extensively. With the advanced development of technology in 21th century, people in modern society take great advantage from its widespread benefits. Nowadays people even don't need to go to work in the office and just summit their works through email in their own homes, but they also become more inert and instead of figure out a solution to problem, they mostly choose to find the answers in Google. In addition, it becomes a common phenomenon that computer programmers feel more comfortable to copy the codes which are shared on the internet and gradually they lose the ability to think and write some original codes. So if the sharing mode of internet didn't exist, the programmers may have no choice but to think with their own brain and create some unique and useful algorithms. So we will be more capable of solving problems and even improve IQ in the same progress that apes have experienced to increase the capacity of brain by using more of their hands in the evolution toward human. However, we can never make a conclusion that technology deteriorate the ability of thinking by simply list some disadvantages. Technology indeed liberate people all over the world from hard labor and spare more time for human to think about other things that are more valuable. That's why we make such a unprecedented achievement in the past 100 years. For instance, in the age of the computer revolution, we are manumitted from the hard calculation that cost several hours by hands and with all these advanced tools that technology brought to us, people now can think more deeply without any burden from the hard calculation, so technology make it easier for scientist to do some scientific research. On the other hand, great thinking and ideas can't be made out without sharing and reproducing. Again it's technology that promote the process of thinking and sharing on the online websites like the non-profit organization TED and people now can comment and debate over some controversial issues instead of going to the cafe house in 18th century. So it's fairly difficult to over-generalize that technology improve or deteriorate the ability of thinking. It actually depends on how people use the tools of technology to do something for their own lives. They will make their own choices to just copy the works of other people or sharing and thinking more to create some fantastic new ideas. |
