技术正改变我们的生活(Technology Is Changing Our Lives)
Technology is one of the most important factors to promote our society to develop from one era to another. Whether you are aware of it or not, every day at every time technology is greatly influencing the way we live and work. Computers, new technology in the 21th century, are the best examples. As the greatest inventions of human beings, they are being used more and more extensively in the world today. Especially when their functions are amplified with the help of internet, computers may even make everything convenient and possible.
You can do shopping on the net. If your family wants to buy a TV, you can see a picture of the model and find the store with the best price through your computer. You need only to send a message to that store and the right amount of money will be taken out of your bank account and put into the store. Like this,you can buy anything you want without going out of the room.
You can work at home through computer. The internet, the main trading tool, makes SOHO (small office, home office) possible. This will make the workplace more comfortable and reduce
transportation time and hence potentially boost actual work hours.
You can learn a lot of knowledge from internet. Internet presents a vivid world in front of us. Sitting before your computer, only by clicking the mouse, you can acquire the up to the minute news, the latest development in politics and science and the most peculiar customs and cultures in the world. It is the access to the information super highway for traveling through cyber
Internet also shortens the distance between peoples. Owning a computer, you can communicate with your relatives or friends by sending e mails no matter how far they are from you.
I n summary, we have benefited a lot from the invention of computers. However, all new technologies trigger confusion such as some technical, economic and legal problems. So when
we are enjoying the advantages new technology brings to us, we should also establish some new rules and laws to prevent the negative influence of technology.
简 评：
本文谈技术进步对人类生活的影响。作者举了计算机为例。他认为计算机作为“最伟大的发明”，结合最新的互联网技术，深刻地改变了我们的生活。他用四个段落简洁地表述了计算机的影响：一、网上购物；二、在家里上班，做SOHO一族；三、从网上获得知识；四、通过EMAIL等进行交流，缩短了人们之间的距离。当然，作者也没有回避其负面影响，承认新技术引起了许多技术上、经济上和法律上的问题，认为应该通过相关法律和规章制度来避免其消极影响。文章结构清晰，观点明确。
