The primary goal of technological advancement should be to increase people's efficiency so that everyone has more leisure time.
------正文------
In this age of technological advances and scientific discoveries leading to the improvement of people's life, people's efficiency has been enhanced drastically as well. Therefore the question poses itself: has more leisure time been provided in this world as the author claims? As far as I am concerned, while we are cheering for the increasing efficiency the high technology brings us, we have not enjoyed so much leisure time, moreover, we have been involved into a much busier life to probe into the even deeper world to satisfy our unceasing curiosity to the world unknown.
To begin with, there is no doubt that one of the primary goals of technological advancement should be to increase people's efficiency, and in fact it has been proved by the history of human beings. The history of human being is also a history to fight against the nature and strengthen human beings ourselves to increase the efficiency. Numerous great inventions in history point toward this case. When people began to get down from the trees and tried to use the tools made of stone, the work efficiency had been greatly improved firstly. The following time the efficiency increase gradually at a stable pace until the emergency of the steam engine caused another revolution of industry, leading the efficiency of human a huge leap forward. Now the world step into a information era and the invention of computer and its relevant technologies boost people's efficiency at an unprecedented speed. All of these aptly illustrate that without the technological advancement in every sphere of our society, there would be no increase of people's efficiency and high quality of human's life.
However, have we enjoyed more leisure time as the improvement in people's efficiency? Probably not. The increasing furious competitions and pressure swallow up us and make us submerged into the boundless business. Let's have a look at of these pictures picked from an ordinary white collar's daily life. He gets up without any hesitate when the hour hand points at 6:00. After washing himself and packing up his files which he buried his head into till midnight last night, he heads off the door. With some sandwiches in hand, he makes haste to the office as well as thinking about the lecture he will deliver in today’s conference. All the day time, he either immerses himself in the overlapped files or facing to the dull screen of computer to continue his unceasing reports. After the worktime, he brings so much work home that even miss his supper. Busy, busy, still busy, is the most commonplace word you will hear nowadays. Limited leisure time has been also occupied by so much work. In this increasingly competitive world, in order to survive, you have to work, work and work..
In the final analysis, we suffer more business on account of our continual curiosity toward the world unknown. As known to all, another primary goal of technological advancement is to satisfy people's curiosity to the world unknown. Our increasing technology and science has shown us a wonderful picture of the world, however, there are still many things beyond our thought and reach. It is the very curiosity to the world that makes us probe into the world and involved into the infinite business.
In conclusion, technological advancement, without any doubt, increase people's efficiency in many directions. However, our business has not released by virtue of that. It seems that the modern man is suffering much more business because of the increasing competitions and pressure in the world and human beings' naturally curiosity to the world unknown |
