Widespread of electrics which has been one of the most significant mark of today's society, influenced the course of industrialization, helped us release from the drudgery of manual chores and labor, even changed the way we observe and record our life. Thus there exists a popular belief that the video camera provides such an accurate and convincing record of contemporary life that the written records have decayed its significance and use. Just logical this argument may be, however, I advocate that no matter how persuasive the records of video camera are demonstrated to be, one cannot discard the written records.
First, the last two decades witnessed a trend that records of video camera play an increasingly essential role in every corner of the society. Indeed it has its merit. By utilizing video camera, we can tell our sons and daughters a more vivid story about Iraq War than any written records ever could; In terms of video camera, we can track the pace of travelers from our living room to peaceful Europe, to the modern North America, to the primitive Africa, to any place our forebears dreamed and we have realized. However, video camera has its vital heel----- easy to be used for cheating. We have seen its vulnerability, and we have seen its deepest source as well. One consensus bearing in our mind that our eyes are more believable and what we have seen is a universal truth originated from our forefathers who lived in a simple world. Things altered as time pass by and what has ever been believed----our eyes turn to be our lethal point. Video camera has great power to cheat us in a convincing way in that it replace what seems impossible into possible---- we have to accept the tragedy that one more American’s head was cut down by the terrorist, though it is illusion, provided TV has showed it to us. This is not all its power. What affects us most is the consensus----- we always have reasons to suspect the written records but never to think out the records of video camera. Therefore, by video camera, we lit a fire in the life of men. It warms those who feel its power. It burns those who abuse its function, or they burn themselves.
Second, in the roaring 20th century that faced with the various creations of objects, we seem to forget one of our old friends------ written records that accompanied us since prehistoric time. Before the recent decades, because of its almost unfailing consistency as an embellishment in many societies, it may respond to our psychological needs in the society, such as appeasing our fear, enlightening our desire and the like. Today this fact seems to face great challenge with the new creations, the most competitive of which is video camera. However, written records have not lost their vigorous. We admire Hollywood’s majestic work----Trojan War but forget the greater poem Homer, who to some extent recorded the value, behavior, identities that the ancient Greek people possessed. In Homer Epic, we could boast our own Achilles whether brave or vain, whether handsome or ugly, however, in this alleged great film, we are accorded a Brad Pitt –Achilles but lose thousands of our own Achilles. Ironically in this sense, records of video camera are demonstrated too accurate to lose its accuracy. Imagination deserves exactly what human should do with his or her mind and heart. This is the very core of value the written records boast and the very restriction the video camera deserves. Therefore no matter how alleged civilization a society develops, without written records of a society is similar in that without wings of an eagle. The only identical result lies between them is nothing but failure to fly.
To sum up, video camera boasts its own merit, though, suffers its vital points as well-------- lack of reliability, easy to be changed. Written records will still swim in the river of history as a fish which can benefit us as well, will still stand in edge of earth for supporting our world as a Titan, and will still run in the body of human as impetus for generating the progress in the future.
