We are ourselves profoundly changed by our interaction with modern technology. As writer Jerry Mander has pointed out, on each side of the human-machine equation there are adaptations. (1)
Our machines become ever more lifelike; witness computers and virtual reality. We become more like the machines; note that repetitive motion disorder is the leading cause of workplace injuries.
This adaptive homogenizing process to science and technology is now being globalized with few societies able to withstand the reign of science and its technological incarnations.
However, in recent years, the zeal of the religion of science has significantly lessened. It is becoming increasingly apparent that the costs of the scientific abstraction and manipulation of nature were far beyond what could have been predicted. Most disturbing is that the scientific-technological onslaught has brought humanity face to face with the first truly global environmental crisis in recorded history. ( 2)
Over the last two decades the public, though still worshipping the scientific world-view, has been, shocked by the facts about ecological threats to the biosphere that they had not even suspected existed
—ozone depletion, the greenhouse effect, acid rain, species extinction, desertification, deforestation.
The crisis over science and technology’s current unprecedented destruction of nature has put modern society in an historic dilemma. Humanity has become fully dependent on, and deeply, addicted to, the scientific world-view and the technological environment. Yet this mode of thought and action is threatening the very viability of life on Earth. (3)
It is becoming increasingly evident that we cannot ultimately survive with our current science and technology; yet we can’t imagine living without it.
A common-sense approach to this quandary would be to begin reinventing our science and devolving our technologies in order to preserve the environment and our own survival. (4)
For many years there has been a small but persistent movement urging the adoption of a "new" ecological scientific approach and the substitution of sustainable or "appropriate" technologies for the megatechnologies which are so devastating to nature.
However, while ecological science continues to make some inroads, neither it nor appropriate technology has received mass support among the world’s policy makers. For most, remaking our technological infrastructure appears too great a task and unprofitable for the current corporate system. (5)
Further, ecological sensitivity and the appropriate technology movement go directly counter to the scientific world-view and its technological fantasies of finally-conquering nature and breaking all limitations on human activity.
选项
答案
越来越显而易见的是,我们最终不能依靠目前的科学技术生存,然而我们却不能想象没有科学技术的生活将会是怎样。
解析
句子的主干是we cannot ultimately survive with our current science and technology,it只是形式上的主语,真正的主语是后面的we。在后面yet引导的从句中的it指代的是前面句子中的science and technology。
