People
have different views about whether revolution of IT industry in the last two
decades will bring us advantages or disadvantages. Although it is undeniable that
developed IT technology makes human’s life more convenient and simpler, I
personally think that it might cause us a lot of negative impact as well.
Firstly, people are not as productive as they
were in the past. Huge volume of easily accessible contents on the internet makes
human concentrate on the consuming them rather than producing. On YouTube, for
example, there are various kinds of multimedia sources which can meet personal
preference of each user. People spend their time to watch the videos, not think
about how to make a good movie clip.
Secondly, new smart technology makes human less
smart. New devices and services help people do what they used to do by
themselves. Appear of smartphone, for instance, change our own way to live
dramatically. We don’t use our brain to memorize contact information of our
friends and family since smartphone remembers all the details.
Finally, advances in IT discourage human
interaction. Even though it allows us to talk to friends or family more
frequently, we don’t meet each other in-person and have a video call rather than
face-to-face conversation. We don’t write a paper-letter and use convenient email
system instead.
In
conclusion, it is definitely true that evolution of IT field provides us merits;
however, it also gives us disfavor on the human life. I hope we use new technology
effectively to make a better world and pay enormous attention to prevent those expected
problems. |
