Increasingly advanced technology has greatly changed the way we live. With television and Internet, we are able to communicate with fantastic speed and convenience. Some people argue that these high-speed electronic communications media tend to impede meaningful and thoughtful communication between our minds. But, in my point of view, there are more facilities than obstacles that they bring about.

I concede that these high-speed media do breed some harm to our thought. In this so-called "Age of Information", we have enjoyed the ease of obtaining information from new media; similarly, we are enabled to express as easily as obtaining. So such phenomena are not rare that some people expose their irresponsible words or even insulting lines toward somebody else through BBS or emails. These expressions are not very decent and meaningful so as to mislead some innocent minds or evoke anger from the readers. I regard these negative effects as the most harmful aspect of these high-speed ways of communication. But if we pay more attention to regulating the behavior on the Internet, these effects could be diminished to a really small extent.

Beside the seamy aspect of electronic media, these high-tech methods have very little to harm our process of meaningful and thoughtful communications. The media are merely tools of communication, or in other words, the way to transmit information, but not the machines to render us make hasty conclusions and proclamations. The shortening in transfer of our mind dose not imply the rash of our thought. It is entirely possible that we think deep and make our positions with great caution before we sent our emails or show on the TV. On the other hand, the assertion that communication become more meaningless and thoughtless due to the speeding up of our exchange of mind is kind of ridiculous, for in this light of assertion, the most hazardous way of communication is face-to-face talk, which is the most quick and simultaneous, leaving us most little time to consider.

Furthermore, I believe that high-tech media even significantly help improve our thoughts in several ways. Look at those scientific programs broadcasted on TV which interpret profound scientific theories in lively and perceivable ways. The sound and images the TV provided do a good job in attracting the mass to learn about science, which lead to the elevation in their thoughts involving the universe. Also, high-speed contribute to the exchange between experts. New discoveries in any field are available on Internet to all scholars round the world, which also inspires more brilliant ideas. Suppose that if Edison were able to communicate with Swan in England with email, he would not need to do more than one thousand and six hundred times of experiments to invent the first light bulb.

In summary, electronic communications media are just new tools or channels to help deliver the information. How they could affect our society depends on ourselves who use them. Take full advantages of these media, we human beings are qualified to evoke more shinning ideas and make even bigger improvements.
