题：As people rely more and more ontechnology to solve problems,the ability of humans to think for themselveswill surely deteriorate.
这是之前练GRE的ISSUE的一篇文章……都记不得是什么时候写的了,也许有直接用别人的段子的地方……仅供参考吧……
Will the ability of human to thinkdeteriorate as a result of reliance on modern technology?The author claimedso.The more we human beings depend on the high technology which provides uswith convenience and efficiency,the more possible we will too lazy to think onour own.However,he fails to fully evaluate this issue.And for one thing,theability to think and use of technology are not mutually exclusive.In fact,thedevelopment of technology makes more possibilities and more space for humanmind to think and explore.
I concede that sometimes technology doesimpair the ability to,for example,compute,as we have calculators andcomputers to do those tedious jobs for us.And because of the GPS,we do not need to remember theroads home and do not have to think about which route will be shorter andfaster.And sometimes,when we have trouble or,the first thing come up with isnot to find the answer by thinking,but to click the keyboard and just googleit.
At the same time,the development oftechnology also provides us with new problems and challenges never thoughtpossible.And the most compelling example will be astronomy.
In China,there is an ancient mythcalled Changebenyue,a story in which a women named Change eat a kind ofmedicine and then flied to the moon.For ancient Chinese,it is a dream thatthought to be never achieved.As a result,no one ever think about how to makeit come true.However,with the development of astronomy,scientists areintrigued by the outer space,and by years of research and hard work,human arefinally able to fly to the moon.The success of reaching the outerspace raises more attention from all over the world,even themigration to the Mars seems more possible.In order to fulfill these tasks,scientists are working on a lot of problems such as discovering more efficientfuel,lighter materials,and a way to cut down the cost which will make thespace ship affordable for common people.
And after Henry Ford made cars in arevolutionary way,the production line,tones of cars sold every year in the world.As cars become ubiquitous,theproblems follow.The shortage of fuel.As the price of gasoline rises every year,the need to find alternative energy is pressing.Nuclear energy,and solar energy cars are under experiments.
When it comes to alternative energy,nuclear energy must be one of the most potential ones.nuclear energy is infinite.Yet,it can sometimes turn to ahorrible disaster.
In addition,the efficiency whichtechnology provides can give us more time to think and focus on those reallymatters rather than trifles.And there are numerous examples to name.
In sum,the ability to think will not bedeteriorated by the technology,rather,the convenience and efficiency whichtechnology provides will lead to more time to think and offer us with newproblems and challenges to work on.
