5. Are there any people around you who don't accept new technology?

总有一些人不支持新技术,甚至持全盘否定态度,这些人通常是思想比较保守的老年人。上一道题中我们分析了年轻人过分依赖新技术,这一道题不仅要指出是哪些人群不接受新技术,还要分析原因。

Candidate 1: As far as I know, most people around me accept new technology.

They think new technologies bring the most conveniences, comforts and possessions, which satisfy all kinds of our demands. "New technologies are greatly helpful for our well-being." they said.

However, there are some other people who don't accept that completely. "If people rely on the new technology more an d more, the humanity will be destroyed one day." Those who don't accept new technology said.

In their opinion, new technologies bring in not only many conveniences, but also lots of problems which lead the humanity to a more difficult position.

They cause environmental pollution and ecological damage. New technologies make mankind get far away from nature, and cause the interpersonal relationship to be getting more and more indifferent, which makes individuals to be more isolated.

Candidate 2: With the development of new technology, our life is becoming more and more convenient. However, there are still quantities of people who do not accept new technology.

On one hand, many of the poor live such a miserable life that they have no chance to contact diverse new technological products. On the other hand, lots of old people are old-fashioned. Consequently, they reject new technology from the bottom of their hearts.

As is often the case, conservation people still follow the traditions. For instance, a great number of writers attach importance to the old way which we keep track of, such as writing letters on paper. They do not accept the development. Instead, they insist that new technology has changed nature of man. As far as they are concerned, we have become more and more indifferent with laziness.

In my opinion, we ought to make full use of new technology. Perhaps only in this way can we lead a life of high quality.

Candidate 1认为人类过分依赖新科技,有些技术不仅会造成环境的污染与生态的破坏,而且会使得个人处于越来越孤立的状态,人际关系从此变得越来越冷漠,从而使人类处于不利的境地;Candidate 2重点列举了两类人不支持新技术,一类是无购买能力的贫困群体,另一类是思想比较保守的老年人。这些人认为,新技术会使我们变得越来越懒惰和冷漠。
