人们越来越多的依赖于靠科技解决问题,人类自我思考的能力一定会衰退。[说明:写一篇文章,讨论你同意或反对这个说法达到什么程度,并解释你选择这个观点的理由。在展开和支持你的观点时,你需要考虑这个说法可能在哪些方面成立或者不成立,并解释你所考虑的这些东西如何体现你的观点]

本题为老GRE的ISSUE66原题。题目讨论科技对人类影响的话题,题目分为两部分:第一部分陈述了一个大家都接受的事实——“人们越来越多的依赖于靠科技解决问题”;第二部分以这个事实为基础,给出了“依赖于科技必然会降低人类自我思考能力”的判断。题目不难理解,相关事例也有很多,分析时应当注意以下两点: 1、论述中始终要与“人们的自我思考能力”以及“解决问题”相关联,无论是讨论科技的正面作用还是负面作用,都应当以“有利于自我思考”或“有碍于自我思考”为方向。 2、可以静止独立的去对比分析,同时也可以采用动态发展的眼光去分析,影响程度的变化以及新情况的出现都可能会对判断产生影响。
1. 人们在平时的生活、工作、学习的过程中,都面对哪些问题?解决这些问题的方法都有什么?请结合具体事例简述。
回答: 可以分为个人的问题(如怎样提高睡眠效率),自己与他人的问题(如怎样得到领导的认可),自己与其他事物的问题(如怎样使用一种新的工具)。解决的办法有逻辑分析,参考以往经验,求助他人建议,试验研究等等。例如,怎样得到领导认可的问题,可以采用逻辑分析的方法,思考老板聘用员工的目的,分析领导对下属的期望,对沟通风格的喜好和对工作的态度,从而得出怎样的表现能够获得认可的结论。例如某广告公司老板,聘用员工的目的是做出有创意、有感染力的广告,因此他期望下属能够充满热情、灵感和创新精神,在沟通上自由开放,对待工作灵活而不是墨守成规。如此可以分析出,表现出善于创新和突破,热情、有趣的人更容易得到认可。
2. 人们解决问题的方法在科技帮助下,在哪些方面得到了改进和突破?和原方法相比有了怎样的提高?效果如何?请结合具体事例简述。
回答: 网络技术的发展使人们需要其他人的建议和指导来解决问题时,获取信息更加快捷,范围更加广阔。例如,一个孩子看到了月食,想知道为什么。在从前,他如果想寻求他人的建议,会去问爸爸或者查找百科全书。但无论是爸爸的讲述还是百科全书的文字和图解,都需要孩子进行过程的想象,才能理解。而如今,只要在搜索引擎中输入问题,马上能找到带有3D动画的完整解释,比爸爸的讲述更准确、更完善。这样的进步提高了解决问题的效率,从而增加了人们在有限时间内所能解决问题的数量。而解决问题的数量常常与人的能力和成就成正比关系。也就是说,这一进步使人类能取得更大的成就。但与此同时,由于过于便捷,人们遇到问题时倾向于放弃自主思考的过程,直接通过网络获取答案。这使得人们的独立思考及逻辑分析能力不断下降。
3. 人类的自我思考的能力在什么场合或者情况下会被用到?要思考哪些问题?请结合具体事例简述。
回答: When people are meeting a brand new question,which hasn't been experienced by anyone,resulting in no authoritative to refer to,independent thinking is essencial.In this circumstance,one has to figure out the context,the feature and the crucial part of the question,and analyze the trend of the situation as well.For example,when a new infectious disease is bursting out,the public usually get into panic.Even the most spcialized and outstanding doctors cannot provide a efficacious way to prevent or treat the disease.Whereas,some merchants will overstate the effectiveness against the disease of centain kinds of medicine they are selling ,so as to earn extra profit.Without thinking by themslved,people can be easily treated by these merchants to purchase medicines not as useful as they expecte.Only by carefully considering the kind of virus that cause that disease,the trasfer methods and the function of different medicines can one determine whether a kind of medicine can be possiblely used for defending.
4. 科技能否代替思考能力?如果能,请举例;如果不能,为什么?
回答: Technology cannot replace the ability of thinking,for the reason that technics are developed by human and can only repeat the request of human,other than analyze or foresee things in the future.For example,when a space ship is going to explore the moon,the oprbit/track of travelling can be easily figured out using technology.But how long will the space ship stay on the moon and what kind of tasks should be done there can never be determined by technology,since it cannot predict what kind of information might be useful.To make these decisions,a rational brain,which,at the same time,should be adventurous, is crucial.
5. 有哪些原因会导致人类自我思考能力衰退?这些原因有哪些是科技造成的?思考能力的衰退与科技之间存在必然联系么?
回答: 懒惰的性格,依赖的习惯,对自我自考能力的不重视,能代替思考的工具的使用;依赖的习惯和替代工具的使用是科技造成的。存在必然联系,但是可以通过主观能动性来避免思考能力的丧失。例如,在时间允许的情况下减少对替代工具(例如计算器)的使用,培养独立决定的意识。。。。。。(待续)

Technology is used to solve masses of problems today,causing great trust and dependence on it.However,the appliance of technology is preventing people from thinking for themselves.By relying on technology to seek answers to questions they meet,people are even losing the ability to think independently.
 
The entertainment technology provides can result in less active thinking,since new equipments and softwares are drabing attentions that have been focused on more complex things.For example,the developing of movie-making technics make it easier for cartoons or science-fictions to immitate a virtual situation,even facial expressions.Like the movie TRANSFORMER 3,gorgeous effect are attracting large amount of people to watch it.But in spite of the exciting images,the movie leaves not much space for audience to think.The loyalty and integrity it represents is too familiar to the public that no one would start to wonder questions like what our role should be in the whole universe.This kind of thinking is much more difficult to occur when many movies offer exciting effects other than meaningful stories.Without using,the ability of thinking will be losing quite rapidly.
 
The convenience technology offers is also preventing people from thinking actively.Take search engines for an example,when having questions in daily life,modern people are more and more accustomed to turn to wikipedia or google directly,without thinking by oneself firstly.The developed technology allows websites to offer answers to nearly any common questions in a short time.This high convenience prevent people from taking much more time to seek answer without any help.Through this way ,questions are answersed,usually correctly.but the willingness of thinking hardly exists for any longer.
 
Though there are negative effects caused by technology,the convenience and efficiency it provides can never be ignored.Human beings still need technology to solve all kinds of problems,for instance,holding a distant videoconference through cellphones.Face to face communication can improve the effectiveness of information conducting,and make the conference more efficient.These all rely on distant image trasmitting technology.Without technology,people won't  be able to accomplish so many things at limited time,thus the economy and the society can't be developing at such high speed.
 
However,the repression effect that technology has on independent thinking should begin to be highly considered.The lost ability of thinking for themselves caused by dependence on technology can be harmful to individuals and also to the society.Huge efforts should be made by the general and the specialists to stop technics from deriving thinking abilitie,which is as significant as technology itself.
