本题讨论科技发展目标以及发展结果的问题。和这道题目很相似的是老GRE中的ISSUE124 "Instant foods, instant communication, faster transportationall of these recent developments are designed to save time. Ironically, though, instead of making more leisure time available, these developments have contributed to a pace of human affairs that is more rushed and more frantic than ever before"。前半部分是个大家熟悉的命题，赞成和反对都容易展开；后半句将提高效率与更多休闲时间进行联系，可以从二者的因果关系以及必要性等角度去论述。

The development of technology could doubtlessly increase people's efficiency, since as more and more advanced equipments been invented to replace manual work, great amount of time has been saved as a result. However, whether the primary goal of techonological improvement is used to raise efficiency in order to ensure people more leisure time remains skeptical. Therefore, detailed analysis is needed to provide further insights into this issue.
With the rapid development of technology, our lifestyles have been changed dramatically. Life is much more easy today compared with decades ago, We have typewirters to help us with typing; computers to help us with calculating; cars to help us with commuting, ect. Those marvelous inventions have brought about significant convenience to our life and also significantly increase our efficiency in return. For example, driving a car could save considerable time compared with riding a horse; type with typewriter could double the efficiency compared with writing on papers. Thus, the development of technology does provide us with a much more convenient life and enable us to work more efficiently than ever before. As people have got more and more spare time, they could choose to relax themselves with countless means of entertainments. Currently, in reality, people's leisure time is filled with myriad kinds of entertainment. Watching movies, playing computer games or going hiking are some of those nascent methods of entertaining. And that could be attributed to the development of techology as well. Hence, technology does help people to increase their efficiency while providing us with much more florid means of entertainment.
However, although technological development is apparently conducive to the expansion of entertainment as well as the raise of efficiency, the assertion that the primary goal of it is to increase efficiency for an extended length of leisure time might miss the point. As we know, the goal of technology is to improve the quality of life in general. An assumption beneath the argument is that the quality of life could be measured accurately by the length of leisure time, which means that the longer an individual's leisure time is, the better the life would the individual has. Of course, leisure time could reflect the quality of life to a certain extent, but it could never fully represent life as a whole. A lazy person, for example, could have plenty of leisure time, while simultaneously, he/she could lead a miserable life. Therefore, despite of the fact that the improvement of technology might be able to increase our leisure time by giving a raise to efficiency, we could not thereby conclude that the fundamental goal of technological development is to spare us more leisure time.
To sum up, there's no doubt that with the development of techonology, our efficiency could be effectively increased; but to assert that the primary goal of technological improvement is for the increase of leisure time might be erroneous and ungrounded, since the length of our leisure time could by no means reflect our life's quality reliably. Thus, the development of technology serves to bring us a better tomorrow by increasing our overall efficiency.
