Ⅵ. 短文阅读
Technology has changed the way our society works, and how we communicate with one another and ourselves. However, by welcoming technology as a part of everyday life, are we losing our ability to create?
Technology is the stage(舞台)for creativity(创新). Through technology, ideas can come to life with new tools. For example, tools like websites and social media help businesses change and grow in new ways.
However, when we look more closely, it's easy to notice some disadvantages. For example, many people spend too much time on digital devices instead of thinking for themselves. Also, spending too much time on smartphones leaves less time for creativity and new ideas. As a result, they have less time to create their own thoughts.
Is there a way to find a balance between technology and human creativity? I think so. It is simply a matter of making sure that creativity is not deterred by technology. The first way is to reduce(减少)our use of digital devices by setting limits(限制)on when, where, and how long we use them. Another wonderful way is to take daily walks in nature. It can help you relax, re-balance, and keep going.
The key to keeping our creativity lies in us. Will you try to find happiness and purpose outside of a screen? The action you choose to take will help to change the relationship between creativity and technology for the better.
