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."
提纲:
1 written records is a form of documentation as important as the video camera
2 It’s true that the video camera gives us a more accurate and visual way to record things at a certain extent.
3 Yet in most cases written records record and express the thoughts and theories by the numbers, especially in science
4 Secondly, we will receive the unique realization when we read some written records, especially the literature.
5 In sum, written records and the video camera are different form of documentation, but both of them are important the same.
Which is the more important form of documentation, the video camera which provides an accurate and convincing record, or the written record? The author prefer the former one and advocates that it has become a more important form than written records. However, in my opinion, written records is a form of documentation as important as the video camera, for the reasons as follow.
It’s true that the video camera gives us a more accurate and visual way to record things at a certain extent. The video camera makes the events, which happened at the past time, recur at the screen and also records the things factually which makes us realize our past time more accurate. For example, if a crime happened in a bank, the police would use the video camera, which install in the bank to watch the circumstances around, to look for the criminal or the suspect. Another example is that when we hold the Olympic Games at 2008, we would use the video camera to memorize the significative moment which would also make us find the feelings then and give us a visual record.
Yet in most cases written records record and express the thoughts and theories by the numbers, especially in science. On one hand, written record are fit to express the abstract process and formula. When a scientist brings forward a new theory, he would write a paper to express his thoughts but not use a video camera. Written records express the theory by many ways, such as formula, illustration and so on, which make the readers comprehend more easily and roundly. On the other hand, written records can hold the thoughts in the future. At all times and in all over the world, people use written records to transmit the knowledge generation to generation.
Secondly, we will receive the unique realization when we read some written records, especially the literature. For example, we read a story, and then we will imagine the story in our minds and each one will have a model himself. In the other words, different people will have different views to the same story. It is the unique characteristic which the video camera can not provide, and it is why there are so many people like reading at this period.
In sum, written records and the video camera are different form of documentation, but both of them are important the same. They are have their own unique characteristics and one can not take the place of the other. They will cooperate to record contemporary life.
