在这里度过了一个快乐的圣诞节

       Technology makes communication easier in today’s world. Many people choose to work at home in front of a computer screen. What does the society face depending on computer screen rather than face-to-face contact as the means of communication?

 

Compared with traditional means of communication, nowadays people are so lucky to have a chance to work at home. They don’t need face-to-face contact if they don’t want to. Using a computer, a modern and an access to internet, people can do almost everything which happens in real life, like reading news, making friends, shopping, etc. It’s really convenient and saves a lot of money and time for people. Undoubtedly, it is a great progress for human being.

       But every coin has two sides. Depending too much on computer would become another problem. Firstly, computer may broaden the distance between people. If people always choose on-line chatting as the means of communication and avoid face-to face contact，they will feel uncomfortable or like strangers when they meet. Secondly , there are a lot of false news on the internet，it needs people to have their own ideas or judgment on it, If just depending on computer and believing everything is true, people would lose the ability of judgment. Thirdly, computer may stop people from forming some creative ideas or thoughts. People can find almost everything on the internet, which may make people rely on it too much. Then， people may stop thinking or diving research.。 Some creative ideas or thoughts may disappear because of it.

 

So people should just use computer as a tool. Don’t let a tool control people’s lives.

 

 

电脑只是一种交流工具

学习之余的快乐生活

    科技使得现今世界的交流更加的方便快捷。很多人选择在家对着电脑荧屏工作。现代社会如何面对这种依靠电脑荧屏而不是面对面交流的沟通方式呢？

 

和传统的交流方式比较，当今，人们真的很幸运可以在家也有这样的机会和人交流。他们不需要面对面的这样的沟通方式，如果他们不想的话。一台电脑，一个调制解调器，还有一个鼠标连接到互联网，人们就可以做很多现实生活中的事情，如，看新闻，交朋友，买东西，等等。既方便也节省很多的金钱和时间。毫无疑问，这时人类一个伟大的进步。

 

师生情

    然而，如何的事情都有其好坏的两面。过多的依靠电脑会产生另外的问题。首先，电脑拉大了人们的距离。如果人们总是在网络聊天来取代正常的交流和沟通，他们就会觉得不自在或者就象陌生人一样。其次，现在的网络上有很多的负面新闻，这个需要人们有他们自己的看法和判断力，如果仅仅是依靠电脑上说的，就相信一切都是真实的，那么，人们就是失去正常的判断能力。再者，就是电脑也许会阻碍人们一些有创造性的想法和意见。人们几乎都可以在网络上找到他们非常依赖的东西，那样人们就不再思考，也不在深入的研究。一些很有创造性的意见和想法就可能因为这个而消失。

 

因此，人们应该把电脑当作工作和生活一种辅助工具。而不是让这样的工具来控制我们的生活。
