| Since we born in this world with technology and
science surrounded, we hace used to live with the convenience they bring to us. I absolutely agree that technology and science nowadays are really great help for our daily lives. Because of inventions of daily facility, we don't have to spend time on making fire to cook, washing clothe by our hand, or worrying where to get water. We only need to put food into the microwave oven, throw our clothes into the washing machine, and turn on the faucet, and everything is done quickly and correctly. Since we do not need to worry about these tedious problems, we may get more leisure time for entertainment. Sometimes I wonder what it would be to live in primitive age without electricity, transportation, clothes, house, and modern facility. Wow! It must be an exciting adventure full of challenges to nature everyday. However for me, it is just tolerable to experience this kind of life for few days, I can hardly imagine to live all my life without my favorite television, fried chicken, and movies. It must be very terrible. The development of technology and science started to progress rapidly from about two hundred years ago, and they also aroused the evolution of industry, agriculture, economy,and etc. Directly or indirectly, these also caused the prosperity and progress of our country. Just look back to ten years ago, we would realize how fast Taiwan grew in many aspects from our surroundings, there are more and more high buildings, department stores, high ways, and the rapid transportation systems. Without doubts, Taiwanese must get extra time than before; however, we seem not really enjoy our leisure time under this high-tech modern time, maybe it is because people still want to make more money instead of enjoyment. In addition to the development of our society, I feel that some specialservices are needed. For example, psychologists are needed that people can't find how to balance when facing pressure; electric pets become popular because they satisfy our content to have a pet without many responsibilities, it is O.K. that the electric petmay die because of our carelessness. These show that people seem to become more vulnerable in face of troubles and our new generation want to enjoy, but dislike duties or burdens. It is really difficult to define if technology and science both are absolutely good for us. |
