2。不可否认的，科技的进步也带来了很多的问题，如。。。但我们不能因为它有缺点就完全否认它。难道我们完全放弃科技，回到那种茹毛饮血的年代吗？

No one can deny that technology changes our world. Some people sincerely believe that technology brings great benefits to human being. Without technology, our world would be another one. While other critics argue that technology creates more problems than it solves, and may threaten or damage the quality of life. On balance, my opinion is that technology greatly improved the civilization of human beings. In the meanwhile, it also causes some problems.

First, technology brings great changes to people's lives. Our predecessors live in cage, wear leaf clothes, eat meal and nuts, at the same time having to afraid the attack of animals. Compared with them, we live in big houses, wear fashion clothes changed every day, eat kinds of delicious and high-nutrition food and vegetables, and without worrying about the attack of the animals, we see them in the zoos or on the TV, considering them as wild pets. All these have to contribute to the technology.

Furthermore, the world become smaller and the relationship of human being become closer due to the development of the communication. Have you remember the story of Marathon, a Greek soldier, who wants to send the winning message of the country back to the people, ran several thousand miles back to his home and finally exhausted after he arrived at the destination. This is origin of the Marathon racing used for memorizing the hero. However, this will never happen again in the modern society, for one could send a message in a few seconds with a phone or a computer, regardless how far the distance is.

Additionally, not only the communication, but also the transportation becomes more convenient. We take the above story more seriously. If the Greek hero would like to send the message directly to the people and enjoy the welcome of the people, he also has a lot of choices. The fastest transport tool is airplane, which could send him back to home in a few hours. If he worries about the safety of the airplane, he could catch a train. If the road is too rough for the train, he could drive the car himself. In a word, he does not need to run and run any more.

Admittedly, technology also causes some problems. For example, the highly developed industry deteriorates the environment, the accurate and advanced weapons kill a lot of innocents, Internet and other medias help the spread of unhealthy information. Doubtlessly, the critics could cite a lot of evidence that technology could threaten or damage the quality of life, but do they take into consideration the life without technology? Without the house he lives, the car he drives, the clothes he wears, the computer he uses, he may have to strive for his living but not sitting at home criticizing the technology. Since every icon has two sides, we could not simply abandon the technology due to its disadvantages.

In sum, it is impossible for all the people to make the same conclusion on this controversy issue due to their different background, social status and personal views. However, I believe that more and more people will realize that we should take into account the technology more objectively and positively, not only utilizing the power of the technology, but also decreasing the damages of it.
