▶ Your Answer : Although there is
no complete consensus that has been reached on this topic, yet I would like to
take a stance and make my disagreement with the given thesis that in twenty
years there will be fewer cars in use than there are today. In order to
substantiate my central focal points, I will provide specific reasons and
explore the given topic in great detail in this essay.
To begin with, I firmly believe
that use of cars will not be decreased in twenty years. Since cars are one of
major transportations that have been provided in public, it seems that people
will use cars in their lives even more than twenty years later. Opponents of my
perspective claim that there will be more developed technology and vehicles
which adopt the technology and might replace the majority of transportation
that people use. Proponents of this view several points as the rationales for
their argument and their argument might have some validity. But after closer
look, there exists an abundance of examples that calling into question what
they claim. Among such examples, an instance that I am going to describe here
can elucidate their incorrect viewpoint. As far as I am concerned such form as
cars will be maintained. This is because people have developed cars, not really
changing their form but keeping the form and reconstructing designs and
components of it. Accordingly, the form will not be changed in twenty years,
but its techniques and forms will be prominently developed to the various
forms. Such form as electric cars and many other developed forms will be used
for people. On the other hands, the form of cars will not be changed, but it
will be just developed. This validates my earlier contention that use of cars
will not be decreased in twenty years.
The account of mine that I
illustrated above is not the only evidence to support my view. A recent survey
conducted by one of the leading educational consulting firms in Korea endorsed
my opinion when the survey respondents were asked whether they sided with the
argument that there will be fewer cars in use in twenty years or not. A leading
educational expert claims that there will be no transportation that will be
able to replace use of cars in twenty years from now. The expert also asserts
that twenty years are too short to develop one technology and put it into
practice. Generally, it takes many times to settle a technology. For example,
people have put their efforts to develop technology that a car can drive by
itself without human. As far as I know, this technology has been developed for
at least more than 20 years, however, it is not really generalized yet.
Accordingly, it is seemed to be impossible that there will be fewer cars in use
in twenty years from now.
In conclusion, in spite of the fact
that there may be some opinions that use of cars will be decreased in the
future, taking into account of all the factors that I described above, we may
reach to the conclusion that in twenty years there will not be fewer cars in
use. |
