7."The video camera provides such an accurate and convincing record of contemporary life that it has become a more important form of documentation than written records."
1. video camera的确为人们提供了更准确,更生动和更灵活的record
2. 不过video camera也不能代替written record
因为(1). Written record更方便,至少在现在 (2). Written record处理一些理论化的信息能更加系统化 (3).在艺术方面 Written record还可以记录人们的创作灵感,
3. 该如何对待这2种形式
Which is the better form of recording information, video camera or written record? And will written record be take the place by video camera? Viewing these controversial problems, any extreme answers would be inconsiderately. As far as I am concerned, as modern technology keeps advancing, video camera will play more and more important role in our daily lives, but, in some certain fields, written record is replaceable.
Admitted, vivid images taken by video camera do provide us more convincing information resulting from being accurate, and easy to understand the reason why it is widely used in most areas of our daily lives. For instance, one photograph, which is easier to made by video camera, is able to tell what might need thousands of depicting words, in addition, video can offer more lively images than dozens of drawings done by most intelligent artists. Naturally, people can more precise information from the benefit video camera creates. Moreover, with the help of internet, long distance video transmission is made obtainable.
However, to cursorily claim that video camera is a more important form of documentation than written records needs to be argued. Even in the era of modern technology, especially forms of documentation, growing rapidly, written record is still widely used and can be easily found in every detail of our lives, as written forms have some strongpoints that video camera would not attain.
Firstly, materials of written record are more easily taken at hand. On the way to school or work, having a lecture or a meeting, even during meals, there is great amounts of information which needs to be marked at once. Pens or pieces of paper can be the best choice, for they are easy to obtain,. Written record works well at emergences, when video equipments are not always free by hand. Though the descriptions are not accurate enough, the most precise information can be stored in our brains, record only reminds us entries, which can guide us complete descriptions of the events.
What’s more, in some theorized fields, especially in some scientific subjects, written record can assist scientist draw more systematic conclusions, and then mature theories. Even though, video camera can record the full process of experiments, such as chemical or physical experiments, it only provides information, not conclusions. And, it is scientists’ work to analyze the information video offers, then summarize the theories, which is mostly in forms of written record. In other words, it is written forms which record the conclusions based on video information and reasonable analysis.
Additionally, even though modern art has some video forms, the chief genres are depending on written record. As art need inspiration and the minds of artist are always desultory, the strongpoint of video camera is inefficient. More importantly, written record leaves more spaces of imagination, which artist’s minds can stroll in, consequently, great works of art are always contributed to the free imaginations. On the contrary, excessive accuracy limits artist’s brain and inspiration, without these art works are machine-made. There would not be anything more ugly walking in an art museum filled with consistent works.
To sum up, in the era of rapid modern technology advancement, using more and more video can bring people much profit and convenience, but the importance of written record can not be denied. Use the right form of record in suitable fields is the key to the problem.
