人与社会——科学技术与工程，人类发明与创新
There is no doubt that technology has had a big influence on our lives. People from all around the world can talk to each other almost at once on mobile phones and the Internet. People can easily solve their problems with the help of computers and the World Wide Web. With this technology, it seems that the world is more connected now than ever before. Even so, there have been worries about technology making people feel lonely and disconnected from others around them.
So does this mean technology makes us lonely?
In my opinion, it is hard to say Yes or No.
It’s true that humans need to communicate with each other. Depending on technology too much to communicate can badly impact our mental(心理上的) health. For me, technology is a tool. And just like any other kind of tool—like scissors, a pencil, or a ruler, it depends on how we use it. Take social media (社交媒体) as an example. If you only use it to compare yourself with others, you might feel sad and lonely. But if you use it as a tool to connect with friends and family or to start a new community to talk about your hobbies and interests, the loneliness will turn into love and friendship.
When you feel lonely after staring at your computer screen all day, maybe you can use that technology to reach a reliable (可靠的) friend and invite him or her out for lunch or a coffee.
