Living in such a world with rocketing development of technology, people must have been thought to enjoy much convenience so they should have more leisure time. However, as far as I am concerned, the purpose of technological advancement is not concentrated only on increasing people's efficiency but also on meeting human beings' curiousness by exploring unknown realms, to have more leisure time is not an inevitable byproduct of either.有保留的支持,提出了自己的新观点
Foundationally, a probe would find out that technology advancement firstly result from the endeavors to offer useful tools to increase people's efficiency. The basic technology revolution somewhat could be pointed to " the first great step", that ancient people had learned to use simple tools other than their hands since they realized that some jobs were far beyond their capability or they could only do in a quite time-consuming way without the help of tools. So somehow like the prime instruments, almost every advancement human beings have made is based on the needs of living better. For example, the sewing machine helps people accelerate their speed to do sewing; computer is a great invention to solve problems which would take a mathematician over one or even more years before. As the same, Watt's steamer in 18th century was not only an engine of a boat or a train but also a motor to a more efficient time. Those technological advancements, to some extent, are all created on the purpose to liberate people from laborious jobs. 科技进步使人们有更多闲暇时间
Another goal of the technological advancement lies in meeting human being's innate curiousness. People are born with a curious sense about unknown matters, no matter they are ultimately found to be dangerous or boring. Such curiousness sometimes acts as a motivation of a new advancement of technology. For instance, if people, enveloping Brother Whites, were not so eager to why human beings can not fly as the birds do, there would no such great and significant invention, airplane, appear. Also, if it were postulated that there is no curiousness on the situation out of the earth where human beings live, astronautics would not be so developed to send Armstrong to the moon. In brief, some advancements of technology are somehow impulsed by people's curiosity.人类的好奇心推动科技进步
However, no matter how the technological advancements arouse up, spurred by the needs or by the curiosity, they do greatly change the people' life style, but not necessarily a more leisure one. Sometimes, they do make people even much busier than ever before. Certainly, there are numerous examples to show how people are influenced by the technological advancements and are made idle since plenty of machines have taken over them on doing many jobs and convenient transports have saved so much time for them, but the same is the opposite examples. Living in a time with highly advanced technology, people have to pay more time to learn much to keep the pace with it, and make them not be washed out from their work positions. And what is more, they also have to arrange matters compactly in a single day since with the machines' help, a single matter would take less time than before. People are really more efficient but to try to catch up the speed of machines even makes them busier. 科技进步又一定程度上减少了人们的休闲时间
In sum, the goal of technological advancement does not only stand on the single point to increase people's efficiency, also it results from the curiousness of human beings sometimes. With the convenience brought about by the innovations, people are more efficient but one cannot take granted that they will have more leisure time.(598 words)
感觉文章的脉络,有点混乱
B1-科技进步使人们有更多闲暇时间
B3-科技进步又一定程度上减少了人们的休闲时间
矛盾啊~~
B2-人类的好奇心推动科技进步,这个是原因吧,和科技进步的首要目标有什么关系? |
