On the ground that the video records is more accurate and convincing than written records, the speaker accordingly comes to the conclusion that video recording is more important means of documenting contemporary life than written recording.(相比之下北美句式更加的一气呵成:According to the speaker, the video recording is a more important means of the documenting contemporary life than a written record because video recording are more accurate and convincing.)
Although I agree with the video recording can provide more objective and accurate records of events in spatial respects, other things required recording are far more than what we see and hear. Thus, the speaker overstates the importance (comparative significance) of the video camera as a means (tool) of recording.
To begin with, (for the purpose of documenting temporal, spatial events and experiences,) I agree with the fact the video documentation can render the events or experience more accurate and convincing on the spatial and temporal records. For instance, it is impossible for anyone to describe the details (recount in complete and objective detail) of the events such as the winning attack (touchdown) at the Super Bowl, a Ballanchine ballet, the tournament of Rose Parade, or the scene at the intersection of Florence and Normandy streets during the 1992 Los Angeles, no matter how outstanding (keen) observer or journalist you are. However, these things are the most important events in our contemporary life, which may be put in our history (time capsule) for the purpose of capturing our life and time in the brink of (at the turn of) this millennium.
Furthermore, the function (the growing role) of the video camera is not limited only in recording the significant (seminal) issues. For example, Video surveillance cameras are objective witnesses with the prefect memories, thereby they can assume a role as an indispensable (evidentiary) proof (role) in the legal proceedings, such as those involving robbery, drug trafficking, police misconduct, motor vehicle violations, and even in the unbecoming (malpractice) operations in the hospital. Indeed, whenever motoring pictures are vital (central) in recording the events, the video camera can be better (superior) than the written words. A written documentation about the hurricane, tornado, or volcanic eruption cannot present (convey) an immediate and powerful nature like the video documentations. Moreover, a diary cannot also replace the video cameras to record (replay) the wedding reception, dance recital, or surprise birthday party objectively and accurately, and a real-estate brochure cannot reveal (inform) the real condition about the structure concerned the light, spaciousness, or general atmosphere (ambiance) of its surroundings as effectively as a video camera.
Nonetheless, on the other hand (for certain other purpose), the written documentations can present its advantages at certain aspects, for example, some legal affairs should be relegated into written forms, a video (is of no practical use) cannot be used in the case of a complex contractual agreement, an incorporation, or the establishment of a trust. What is more, when it comes to recording on the ideology, feelings (impression), response (reflections) to some matters, a video cannot be as useful as a written documentation. Indeed, to some extent the personal interpretation can enrich (add dimension and richness to the record) the documentations, thus the written records is more important than video records.
Finally, the video documentation is of no use on addressing the statistics and other quantitative information. Considering the foregoing examples (returning to the not example mentioned above), imagine that documentations are used to record the financial loss of the shops and the numbers of the police and firemen (firefighters), and so forth, it requires video camera at every street corner and every aisle of stores.
In one word, at least to some extent, the speaker overstates the importance of the video records. When it used in capturing the photos, saving and recalling the temporal and spatial events, the video records has their inherent merits such as objective, accurate, complete characteristics. However, through the video documentation can we only see one aspects of the world, written documentation are more needed to quantify, illustrate(demystify), and provide meaning to the world around us.
