【题目翻译】
一些人认为科技的发展使得我们的生活更加复杂，因此解决方法在于过一种没有科技的简单生活。你在多大程度上同意或不同意?
【话题分类与题型】
本题是新题，但与2009年2月12日的话题非常类似(详见“类似话题”第一道)。属于科技类话题，题型为同意与否(单观点)。科技类话题是雅思写作中的常考话题，但已很久未出现，上次考科技类话题是在2011年10月29日。
【话题评价】
雅思写作中，科技类的题库共有以下一些分支：1、通讯科技(如远程上班、教育)，2、现代传媒(电视、网络、手机、电子游戏)，3、机器替代人类。而今天的话题属于科技类相对最难的第4个分支，抽象类。抽象类的科技话题请参见“类似话题”的2-4题。
【类似话题】
1. Developments of technology are causing environmental problems. Some people think the solution is for everyone to accept a simpler life, while others believe that technology can solve these problems. Discuss both views and give your opinion. (090212)
2. Technological progress in the past century has its negative effect, despite its remarkable contribution. To what extent do you agree or disagree?(100227)
3. Some people believe that the range of technology available to individuals today is increasing the gap between the poor people and the rich people, while some others say this has an opposite effect. Discuss both views and give your opinion. (090110)
4. The development of technology changes the way people connect with each other. In which way does the development of technology change the types of relationships among people? Does it have positive or negative effects on the relationships?(090808)
【结构与思路】
本题的话题非常典型，错误的观点+理由(这道题目是理由在先，错误的观点在后)。这类题型的写法是一样的，采用单边型，先驳斥题目中的原因(科技会让生活变得更加复杂)，然后再讲执行错误观点(离开科技)会引发的后果。这类题型在雅思写作中有很多，写法都一致，建议大家做好准备。下面给大家举两道思考题，大家可以自己构思一下。
1. It is not necessary for students to go to school because more information is available on the Internet. Do you agree or disagree? (031122, 040131)
2. Some people believe that university students should pay all the cost of studies because university education only benefit the students themselves not the society as a whole. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

With the increasingly rapid development of high technology and the extensive popularization of its application,countless electronic gadgets are vehemently penetrating into our quotidian life with the striking rate.Indeed,nowadays,people almost cannot live without electronic equipment,the most important of which could be the internet,television and smart phone.Nevertheless,the influence has been controversial,among a wide range of residents,including academicians,ordinary citizens,conservative adults and so on.Even many experts have the attitude that people should live a simpler life without those technological advancements.Personally thinking,although the weaknesses of high technology are relatively apparent,people cannot abandon the precious progress and the tide of civil development cannot be reversed violently,by giving the technology an exile. As for the cherishable values of high technology,what is the most significant factor is the momentum that technology gives to economic development.In past,indubitably the trade between was seriouly enfettered by geographical bridles,such as impassable rivers,grotesque mountains,and expansive oceans,etc.,and thus the trade in ancient world was only feasible among several states contiguous with each other.After the earthshaking invention of modern traffic methods and communication techniques,prosperous international trade and inter-continental business became accessible.Unquestionably,the application of technology nudged the economic development and will continue giving incentive to universal business. Moreover,the innovation of modern electronic gadgats makes people's lives more diverse and colorful than before.For instance,in the spare time,people can utilize the information highway to watch movies,chat with remote friends and receive news.People can completely exploit personal energies and intelligence to try novel ideas by surfing the internet where various softwares and versatile acquaintances can provide massive stimulating thoughts.Therefore,the development of technology can offer a great variety of methods of recreation. However,it is also obvious that the astonishing speed of technological development has induced many social issues,including the disappointing pollution intrigued by swollen chemistry industry,the unbecoming reliance of electronic gadgets among adolescents and the alarming rate of resource exploitation.Actually,the swift stride of technology has harmed the nature and cause unparalled effect upon daily life.While the technology brings out enormous convenience for people,it also makes innegligible issues,such as traffic congestion and air contamination. Conclusively,on the basis of above ratiociation,the benefits of technology strongly outweigh the shortcomings.Admittedly,the surprising development of technology has eye-catching disadvantages,but living a simpler life is not the reasonable solution to cope with those problems.What people should do,is to take advantage of the chances provided by technology and take practical action to eliminate the negativeness.
