ISSUE【114】 Humanity has made little real progress over the past century or so. Technological innovations have taken place, but the overall condition of humanity is no
better. War, violence, and poverty are still with us. Technology cannot change the condition of humanity. 人类在过去的一百年左右止步不前。技术在不断进步而人类的整体条件却没有改善。
战争、暴力和贫困仍然困扰着我们。技术无法改变人类的处境。
--,
1,世界在不断的变化,总是有新的问题 出现,技术的进步解决了历史上的许多问题,给人们带来了巨大的实惠。
1/1 在战争领域,我们可以进行虚拟的电子对抗来避免人员的伤亡。
1/2 在经济领域,技术的进步使我们可以养活更多的人来避免饥荒,技术也从各个方面提高着我们的生活水平,。
2,技术在人性的本质上的作用是有限的,人们的自私和贪婪的特点使 这个世界难于安宁。技术在一定程度上削弱它的负面影响,甚至改变它。
3,随着技术的进步和人类自身觉悟的提高,人性 的改善是能够实现的。
Technological innovations, generally considered to be the engine pulse of the progress made in the human history, are now under discussion. Whether technological innovation has changed the world, especially the overall humanity, according to the speaker, is confronting a suspicion. However, as far as I am concerned, no one could deny the great benefit that technology has brought to human beings, and no doubt, with the endeavor of all the human beings, the condition of humanity is to be changed ultimately.
The first point I am trying to make, however, is that the world is changing at no time and consequently, new issues always arise. The technological innovations had solved many of these problems for us throughout the history.The starvation problem caused by the population in China is a case in point. As China gained her independence, many of the western media and critics claims that the independence will soon be lost as Chinese can not feed themselves with these bare hands as the population is too big for their annul food production. However, Yuan Long pin, the great Chinese biology scientist, solved this crucial problem by his innovative technique in developing a brand new kind of wheat, which can produce a lot more rice than before. This innovation even benefits other regions in Asia. In addition, compared to the wars in old form, technological innovation has made new kind of wars, which are far less brutal. The modern wars are using electronically attacking methods, which rely on computers and network rather than iron weapons. As a result, almost nobody dies in this kind of wars. From the above two cases we can see how technological innovations changes the humanity by improving its condition.
However, technological tools cannot take effect on peoples minds. The vile natures of humanity, such as selfishness, greed, are somewhat innate with every individual. What technological innovation can help is to lessen and clear the negative impact that these abominable natures have brought to our lives, and finally change the humanity. To prevent lying on the court, a new device can detect the electronic waves emitted by the brain when the person involved is saying anything and then to judge if he was telling the truth. Obviously, because of the incapability to lie, one's only choice is to tell the truth. From this respective we can see that innovations of technology can weaken or clear the natural defects of human beings, and thus improve the humanity.
Finally, with the progress that human beings explore themsleves in the history and their future adventure, aided by the technological innovations, which serve as the engine pulse and sometimes restrictions, humanity is sure to be changed into a better one, war, violence, and poverty, together with the unknown problems that may arise in the future, are to be solved ultimately.
