Is Technology Making Our Life Easier?
Technology and digital media can be a great help to reach out to other people and spread your message to a very large platform. "Social media removes all distances: geographic, social, hierarchical. You can reach anyone, at any time, and communicate in real time. Thus, a permanent link of communication has been created," said Julien Maldonate, a senior manager at Deloitte.
Amina Belghiti, Partnerships Manager at Facebook, describes how technology has taken the universal communication method of storytelling and transformed it, in a way that now more stories can reach more people through social media platforms than ever before. She recommends that people find their digital media voice, tell sharable stories, and drive engagement.
It seems that technology has made our lives easier, freeing up time for leisure pursuits. But the rapid pace of technological innovation and the split second processing capabilities of computers that can work virtually nonstop have made all of us feel rushed. We have adopted the relentless pace of the very machines that were supposed to simplify our lives, with the result that, whether at work or play, people do not feel like their lives have changed for the better.

答案
The Indispensability of Technology It is stated in the excerpt that technology, especially digital media, helps us communicate with more people through wider platforms and gives us more time to entertain ourselves. However, it also puts forward that the advanced technology in telecommunication has not bettered our lives. Both sides make sense in some degree. It is true that digital media quickens our life pace and makes users run like machines. Secretaries have to reply to instant messages immediately when their blackberry beeps at mid-night. Phone users always fix their eyes on their cell phones and are ready to answer any ring call. Life does not become easy and relaxing, and instead it becomes much busier and quicker. However, such technology does benefit us far more. Just as Julien Maldonate, a senior manager at Deloitte, points out, digital media makes people from different places, different social backgrounds and classes communicate in the same media platform, and messages or stories can reach more readers or audiences by mass media. In addition, technological advances bring convenience to our life. Machines in factories and farms have freed us from manual work Household appliances, such as washing machines, vacuum cleaners and microwave ovens, have made our housework much easier than ever before. To conclude, technology does make our lives more complex. However, without technology we may be living in a primitive society where most people have to live a monotonous life.
解析
这篇短文主要是讨论科技对生活的影响。短文提出积极和消极两方面的影响。一方面认为科技给我们的生活带来便利,尤其是在交流方式和社交范围上,引用两位行业内人士的话语来做论证支持;另一方面提出科技并没有让我们的生活更简单,反而让我们的生活节奏加快,投入没完没了的工作中。因此,在写作过程中,可用文中所提供的行业内人士的话语来做例证,同时在论述反方观点时需要增加论据,最后提出或重申自己的立场。
