问题     People today can perform everyday tasks such as shopping, banking or even business transactions, without meeting others face to face. What are the effects it may have on individuals and society as a whole? Is it a positive or negative development?
选项
答案 Thanks to technological advances, especially the development of communication technology, today many daily tasks can be accomplished without us meeting each other face to face. Generally, I tend to believe it has more positive influence to our lives. It is evident that fulfilling some tasks over modern technologies such as cell phones, the Internet and other computer network is highly efficient. In the past, if people had the need to do shopping, we had to go to the shopping mall; but today, all can be done with the click of a mouse and the goods will be delivered home, even at a lower price. And we used to need to go to the bank and wait in a desperately long line if we wanted to make a transaction from one bank account to another; instead now we may comfortably make use of the self-banking service at home provided access to the Internet. Actually almost all banks and financial organisations are well-connected to the Internet, which promotes the development of international trade and the world economy dramatically. Thus, obviously, the convenience and efficiency of life has been improved significantly due to the technological advances. However, that is not to say that lack of face-to-face communication brings no problems. One of the biggest concerns is safety. With the increasing virus threats and well-trained hackers, online deals are well exposed to all kinds of risks and losses, for example, the widespread problem of identity theft. Another worry may lie in the fact that people might become somewhat indifferent and feel isolated in the long run without spending enough time with others in person. So when making the most of the good changes brought by technology, we should be aware of its potential downsides and find a way to minimise the negative impacts of them. Overall, there are both favorable and unfavorable effects on individuals and society if everyday tasks are performed without the need of seeing each other. But, personally, I am quite optimistic about its future, and I think people and countries alike will benefit from it on a new level soon.
