Some
people
think
that
robots
are
very
important
for
humans’
future
development. Others,
however, think that robots are a dangerous
invention
that could have negative
effects on society. Discuss both views and give
your
opinion.
The
field
of
science
and
technology
has
advanced
throughout
the
past
decades
and
has
changed
our
perspectives
of
life.
Among
those
advancements,
robots
have
become
significant
by
trying
to
get
close
to
human
lives.
While
some
people
argue
that
though
these
robots
have
managed
to
solve
most
of
our
day-to-day
problems,
they
can
still
create
problems, I believe
that robots are significant for humans’ current
and future
development.
It
is
normal
for
people
to
be
worried
about
the
rise
of
robotics
in
every
aspects
of our lives. In workplace, one of the real
impacts humans face is the
loss of jobs
and the economic displacement of workers. As
prices continue
to
drop
for
advanced
technology,
the
result
is
that
robots
cost
less
than
a
human does
to complete the same job. Consequently, wages are
slashing and
pay
inequality
is
worsening.
Moreover,
when
societies
become
too
dependent on robots,
humans become lazy and begin to lose the skills
that
they
has
replaced.
Last
but
not
the
least,
it’s
not
a
stretch
to
imagine
that
untrustworthy
robots
may
cause
over-
trust
issue
and
deception.
As
anthropomorphic
robots
come
to
the
physical
world,
people,
children
particularly, are susceptible to
telling their deepest, darkest secrets to these
robots whose cute faces may hide
exploitative code.
Nevertheless,
the
benefits
that
robots
bring
about
could
outweigh
these
potential risks. Many robotic solutions
have been introduced in order to help
disabled
people.
For
example,
wheelchairs,
robotic
arms,
and
many
other
robotic devices are
created to help the disabled to perform their day-
to-day
tasks.
Moreover,
some
of
the
greatest
technologies
are
now
in
medicine,
particularly with
robot surgeons. In addition, robots are used in
many high
end factories to make their
production lines more efficient and time saving.
Compared with humans, robots rarely
make mistakes and are more precise.
As
long as they have power, they can work
continuously without any pauses
or
breaks and does not get tired as humans.
In
conclusion,
there
are
good
aspects
as
well
as
bad
aspects
about
robots
being
a
part
of
our
lives.
As
long
as
humans
remember
that
it
is
we
who
should
decide on how much we let them control our lives,
we could enjoy
the life with robots
around.

Today,
advanced
science
and
technology
have
made
great
changes
to
people
’
s
life,
but
artists
such
as
musicians,
painters
and
writers
are
still
highly valued. What
can arts tell us about life that science and
technology
cannot?
Almost
every aspect of modern human life has been
influenced by science
and
technology. One
area
where
technology
is
already
having
a
profound
impact
is the world of art. Art is one affected and
redefined by technology in
a new way.
Yet, some people argue that even with advance
technologies that
enable faster
creation of works, artists are still high valued.
I totally agree
with
this
idea
since
efficient
creation
does
not
necessarily
mean
highly
appreciable
works.
Admittedly,
technology
is
shedding
light
on
the
ability
to
duplicate
and
create arts. For example, pianist
robots are created to sit in front of a piano
center stage and move their fingers
with great accuracy and speed to play a
piece
from
Mozart.
Additionally,
sketching
portraits
of
humans,
spontaneously composing music, and
writing traditional Chinese calligraphy
are already possible in the world of
robots. Further, digitizing artwork help
to
make
it
more
accessible
to
a
wider
audience.
Livestreaming
opera
performance, for
instance, enables people to enjoy the show online
at home
instead
of
taking
a
trip.
Lastly,
advanced
technology
have
also
allowed
contemporary artists to reduce time
spent in the actual execution of artwork
to
a
minimum
thereby
freeing
them
to
focus
more
on
contemplation,
creativity
and
developing
groundbreaking
ideas,
as
well
as
sound
preparation for
artwork.
Nevertheless,
technology
unavoidably
surface
a
lot
of
works
with
less
artistic value and will never outshine
artists’ creativity and imagination. The
interpretation and creation of music is
basically the expression of feelings.
For
example,
when
an
artist
sees
beautiful
scenery,
he
may
immediately
make
a
sketch,
paint
then,
or
just
write
a
poem
about
what
he
saw.
In
contrast,
machines
that
humans
are
used
to
operating
as
tools
have
little
emotive
understanding
of
the
social,
historical,
psychological
and
physiological factors
that inspire human artists, which makes it
difficult to
accept them as having the
ability to be creative.
In
conclusion,
contemporary
art
has
been
greatly
influenced
by
the
rapid
development in digital technology.
Given that these influences are inevitable,
artists need to hone their skills and
understand these techniques well in order
to translate their vision and
creativity into great and distinctive art pieces.

Nowadays,
high-technologies
such
as
mobile
phones
and
internet
are
rarely used by old people.
How should these technologies be useful
to old
people? How to encourage old
people to use the technologies.
Seniors
consistently
have
lower
rates
of
technology
adoption
than
the
general
public.
Given
that
high-
technologies
and
internet
could
certainly
benefit the
elderly,
it
is
necessary
to
come
up
with
solutions
to
encourage
them to take
advantage of technologies.
Both
technologies and internet are useful to old people
in all aspects of their
life. Firstly,
the elderly could maintain constant contacts with
their relatives,
friends,
and
children
via
video
chat
services
like
Skype,
or
other
Internet-
based
communication
channels
such
as
email
and
social
media.
Secondly,
smart
technologies
can
assist
older
people
to
live
safely
and
live
well
at
home.
With certain devices like a watch, senior people
could easily call for
help in case of
emergency with the simple push of a button.
Further, there
are video games designed
to help seniors exercise physically and mentally.
For
example,
owning
a
Wii
or
other
video
game
system
offer
a
fun
opportunity
for
old
people
to
engage
in
light
physical
activity
from
the
comfort of their own living room.
Lastly, smartphone apps and cloud-based
health
information
tracking
systems
can
help
seniors
and
their
family
caregivers
keep
information
such
as
medical
history,
physician
contacts,
medication
schedules, and health conditions organized and
handy.
However, older adults do face
some unique barriers and challenges when it
comes to adopting new technologies and
Internet. In order to make seniors
become perfectly capable of using new
devices and visiting digital world, it
would
be
helpful
to
develop
devices
tailored
to
the
aging
population
and
provide
them
with
the
right
training.
Currently,
the
reality
is
that
a
lot
of
applications and devices
are designed mainly for the young, which makes it
hard
for
old
people
to
utilize.
Therefore,
high-tech
companies
and
organizations should
take the unique features of seniors into account
in the
R&D process. Communities and
governments should organize some public
classes specifically for the aging
citizens to train them how to surf online,
use
smartphones,
and
other
useful
devices
and
applications.
The
aging
populating
themselves
should
be
open
to
new
technologies
and
actively
engage in the learning process.
In conclusion, technologies generally
lead to a healthier lifestyle by helping
senior
citizens
stay
in
touch
with
people,
maintain
their
health,
manage
diseases
and
conditions,
and
tract
treatments.
