Modern Technologies
We use telephones and mobile phones to call, emails to write and vehicles to drive;
we go to anothercountry by air planes; we see what is happening in the world by TV
programs and Internet, and we even watch sports games on live. Nowadays, without
these technologies, I can’t imagine what my life could be.I used to read an article des
cribing the modern lives of human beings. It says we will havemany phone numbers if
we want to search for one person; we send emails and cell phone messages to our friends
in stead of visiting them. More and more people would rather sit in front ofa computer
than a TV. And we seldom go to libraries to check information now, because the Internet
would do all the jobs.We use digital cameras, scanners, photocopiers, blue teeth
technology and digital signals for our cell phones… It seems as if we were living in a
real digital world. Actually I guess we are,though. Since we are so developed and
advanced, why we are less civilized?We are easily mad with our broken computers;
we fed up with things we don’t like; we call ourlovers to say “farewell and good-bye"
and we are afraid to face the facts which are cruel and real.We’re led to a trend that
there will no more face-to-face communications. I would rather chat withmy friends
with OICQ and emails these years, instead of seeing them in reality.I hide myself inside
my car so that I can flee away from dirt, air pollutions, robberies, thieves,winds, rains
and snows. However, I could not taste the spring rain and the winter snow either. The
nature is fleeing away from me too!Should I thank modern technologies or blame them?
I wonder if you have got the right answer.
