3-25 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Printed books have greater effects on society than television has.Thanks to the development of technology, our society undergoes a tremendous change during decades of years. When it refers to which objects- the printed book or the television, have the greater effects on us, there is a heated debate. From my perspective, we have to admit that printed books do have a lot of influences on our society before the invention of television. However, nowadays they both affect us from different angles on their own way.
Obviously, printed book has a long history than television, that it has already influenced our society for a long time. Printing was one of the most important inventions of human history, after this revolution development, our ancestors transport information and messages in a convenience way. Comparing with oral transport, which always makes many misunderstands, printed books make our transportation of knowledge through different counties and even through different continents to be a possible and reliable thing. For instance, thanks to printed books, such as Marco Polo's travelogue, western people have a glance to old China, especially its splendid culture and traditional way of life.
As time flies, after the revolution of industry, our society has been changed a lot by those new technics, television is one of these unbelievable inventions, which makes the global become a small village soon. This big change influence our society heavily, it broads our view of the outside world in a subjective way and changes our life style. For example, there are several new words born after the invention of television, such as “sofa potato” which refers to those persons spend their leisure in front of television.
For this matter, some people would argue that printed book no longer has its significant affection as before. However, I cannot agree with this statement any more. In my point of view, instead of losing its importance, printed books change our society by a different way. In the past, it transported knowledge of visual world to us, nevertheless, it plants seeds of reassessment in our hearts. Living in this complicated society, we have more and more puzzle about ourselves, and we suffer from the regrets for what we have done. At this time, giving us a break from this realistic world and immerging ourselves in the ink of those printed books is a better way to pure our souls and resolve our problems.
To sum up, I want to conclude that both television and printed book have their irreplaceable influences for our society. Television helps us get in touch with the outside world in a subjective way and change our way of living, while printed book makes us search deeply in our inside world. |
