150"Because of television and worldwide computer connections, people can now become familiar with a great many places that they have never visited. As a result, tourism will soon become obsolete."
The author asserts above that tourism will soon become obsolete because people can get all information from television and web instead of tourism. However, I disagree with his opinion that tourism can not be displaced ultimately because we can feel happy and meet some need by practice tourism, not by just looking at TV or computer.
Although we can get some information about different places around the world by television and worldwide computer connections, pictures and views in TV are already different with real view. On one hand, admittedly fast development communication provide us more ways to learn one place instead of tourism, however these information such as pictures are still not enough to learn this place wholly and all-sided. And in some cases, words can not explain the nature of culture of one place well. Just through our visiting on this place, we can really know the grandness of Great Wall and the Imperial Palace in China. On the other hand, television and www just provide some information most people want to know. At some times, they can’t meet peoples’ interest because it is rare. It is also possible that one people want to know the origin of names of some buildings in one place which are hardly found on web or TV, however, we can easily get this information by asking the people living in this place.
Pictures or information people get from web or TV may incite people to visit these places. Taking Palace du Lovre as an example. There are thousands of invaluable and classic arts and sculptures in Palace du Louvre. People can get pictures or introducing of some of these arts in webs or TV. If they want to enjoy these arts nearly or some other not showed on screen , tourist to Palace du Louvre is needed. Another example is Gold coast. To enjoy sunshine on beach millions people every year go to this place , most of which are incited by the view on TV or web.
The purpose of people traveling is not only to enjoy beautiful scenery in these places, but also to learn different culture in the world. How to learn culture in one place? Just by looking at pictures? The answer is of course no. To learn the culture of one place, we need to talk with indigenes, hear the songs they sing , experience the life what they have, and so on. We also can listen stories about the heroes in this country or nation to learn this nation better and deeper than before. So that without the face-to-face connection, no one can get the latter aim of traveling and tourism can not be obsolete.
To sum up, admittedly people can become familiar with a great many places that they have never visited by television and computer , however what they got form TV and web is not all-sided and may lack aspects in which some people are interested. One purpose of visiting also decide that tourism will not soon become obsolete. And Tourism are not displaced by communicating on web or by TV, oppositely , more and more people are incited by what they saw on screen to travel these places. |
