Few of us may dispute that technologies, the major force of the progress of society, have greatly changed our lifestyle and even thinking mode. When it comes to customs and ethics, however, I believe technologies is influential to them in a sense but not sufficient to determine them, for they are something stemming from history and human nature.


Admittedly, the lifestyle are changing so fast due to the appearance of the new technologies. The exploration of electricity brought human a series of great inventions such as the light, TV, radio, and so forth on which we depend so much. The introduction of automobiles greatly sped our life pace by a revolution in daily transportation. The computers, considered as one of the most influential technology in twentieth century, played a crucial role in the booming of information industry and in creating the global village. Since so many products that our ancestors had never imagined in their time come into being, we begin to desire more new technologies and higher quality of life. Technology, as the major drving force that promotes the social improvement, has undeniably effected human living and thinking.


The social customs, passed down from one generation to the next, often orally, containing the stories about our ancestors and the experience of our fathers and grandfathers, are ineluctably impacted by the technologies as well. Perhaps, the scene that every day after meal children in a family sitting around listen to their parents telling stories or what happened on them during work that day can only be seen in fifty years before. Now, the TVs, computers, music clubs and cinemas instead occupy the spare time of them. Chatting in workplace during work time among a group of women is no longer allowed in every factory, but the assembly-lines take place. When it comes to ethic, one of the most heated issues in ethics in this decades, raising from the biological new technology, clone, that whether human cloning is just or not is still in discussing. Another clinical improvement that make it possible that a person's heart beating can last a certain long time even after his brain has
been diagnosed dead  already evoked widely discussion that how to judge a man is dead in law, by brain or by heart.
It seem to us that the role of the technology in the development and determining the direction of social customs and ethics cannot be overestimated.


Yet, this view ignores that our social customs and ethics is not created by a certain generation, but stems from the history and human nature. Since passed down from generation to the next, social customs and ethics can be modified but not be determined by technologies during this passing course. The technologies today enable us enjoy a more joyful Christmas festival, but they can either move this festival from 25th December to any other date of a year or require us to celebrate the Thanksgiving Day on Christmas day, since these traditional festivals are the meaningful treasure that we inherit from our ancestor. Technologies can diversify the forms to celebrate the Christmas day by producing artificial Christmas trees, lovely gifts and other products, but the meaning contains in the festival will never change. As for the ethic, when nuclear weapons make it possible to slaughter thousands of people in a moment, none of us will consider it is right and just to do that.


In summery, I agree that every emergence of a new technology may amount to a slight or great change in our lives and therefore in the social customs and ethics to some extent. However, our social customs and ethics won't be determined by technologies. After all they are only part of products produced by us.
