Is technology making people lazy?

Recently,  the topic of the impact of technology has been brought into focus. According to a recent survey conducted by CCTV,  a high proportion of 84.7 percent of people admitted that technology had great influence on their life and they couldn’t  live without it.

There is no denying that technology enjoys many advantages. For example, the Internet enables people to know the latest news all over the world.  However,  it also brings its own problems. For one thing, the technology is making people lazier. For example, they will buy food online instead of cooking at home. For another, some young people who are addicted to social networking websites or online games isolate themselves in their virtual world and are too lazy to communicate with people in the real world.

In brief, taking into account all of these factors, we may reach the conclusion that the Internet poses both opportunities and challenges to our modern life. Only by making reasonable use of it can we benefit considerably.

Do Violent Video Games Increase Aggression?

With the development of the Internet and technology,  video games are becoming increasingly popular among people especially the youngsters. However, it is a controversial issue（话题，感觉这个短语用得不错） that has raised wide public concern（广泛关注，为什么不用 widespread concern wide和public放在一起不是语意重复吗？）.

In my view, we should hold a cautious attitude（这是一种什么态度，strick attitude或critical attitude或objective attitude...） toward some of the violent video games. On the one hand, there is no denying the fact that playing video games during the leisure time can make people relaxed. But on the other hand, we have to admit that there are some potential problems with some of the video games. With the help of special effect in video games, violent elements in video games are more and more thrilling for the players. In my opinion, those elements of violence could have some bad influences on people, especially children and then contribute to the violence in society.

Considering all those elements, in order to provide a better environment for the youngsters,  I suggest that we should set up a violence rating system（分级系统？） on violent video games, so people will know which level of violence they are accessing to.

Are people becoming addicted to technology?

In this digital era technology seems to be a part of our lives since we rely on it when working or studying or even enjoying ourselves. People in mounting numbers find it difficult to live without technology, especially the internet access. For example, we can see everywhere that people watch short videos one after another for a long time, click their social software every few minutes, read e-books all day long without looking up from their screens. Once without the internet access, they don’t know what to do and will possibly be anxious, panic and impatient with everything.

Numerous studies claim that addiction to technology has the same effect on the brain as drug addiction. Therefore, we must do something to prevent this trend from worsening. First of all, we must develop some helpful hobbies such as reading, dancing, singing, etc. which can enrich our lives when there is no internet access. Moreover, authority related and tech-giants involved should establish laws or restrictions to prevent people from addiction.
