问题     Do you agree or disagree that technological development is always good?

选项

答案 Technology threatens and inflicts damage upon our quality of life. The technological developments of this century are creating widespread plagues that could soon destroy the entire world. Let’s take air for example. Due to massive air pollution, what we breathe is not relatively safe like it used to be. The fumes from the exhausted pipes of automobiles, trucks and factories blow waste material into the atmosphere. After a period of time, atmospheric changes occur. The fumes, that are collected in the atmosphere, are slowly eating away at the ozone layer. This layer of the atmosphere is what shields us from solar ultra-violet rays. Once this layer is gone, our natural protection against the sun would be gone, and if we were hit by one ray of the sun, we’d burst into flames and turn into a cinder. Another plague of technology is nuclear power. The power that can energise entire cities with electricity could also be the power to destroy. After 1945, the research on nuclear power has increased significantly. Contrary to the belief that it is safe, nuclear power has a way of destroying the whole city. It is not like a fire that can be put out with water or CO2, but special equipments have to be used. Afterwards that place would remain radioactive for quite a long time, devoid of life and sound. So you see, if technology cannot be halted, our fate is unknown. Our end will not come about by natural means, but by our own technological achievements, and life on Earth would cease to exist.
