问题     Many people believe that the increasing use of modern technology at work and in leisure is reducing people’s creativity. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

选项

答案 In recent years, there has been a debate about whether the use of modern technology increases or decreases people’s creativity. I believe that modern technology has generally allowed people to become more creative. I believe this firstly because technological developments allow people to produce further developments. The development of the telegraph and the telephone led to the development of radio and the mobile phone. Radio led many people to become creative-finding new uses for this medium and allowing people to share music. Since the mobile phone developed, people have been looking at ways of using it. We can now send text messages around the world and even use our mobile phones to pay for things. This new-found creativity is not only limited to scientists and technicians. Computers allow people to express their creativity by writing books and articles to be published online. Other people have discovered their artistic sides though using relatively easy-to-use computer programmes such as Photoshop. We can even see this creativity in computer games. Games such as "World of Warcraft" enable people to develop online characters using their creativity to accomplish tasks. However, there are people who use modern technology in ways that do not develop creativity. It is widely reported that students in many countries are using the Internet to plagiarise—to use other people’s work and present it as their own. It is often claimed that the ease with which music and films can be downloaded for free may dissuade producers from making them. Other people do not use computers in creative ways. For example, they may play games that do not enhance creativity, knowledge, or skills. Having said that, it is not necessary that we do everything for reasons other than simple pleasure.
