Man and Computer

The computer has become an indispensable part in man’s life. While it has brought great convenience to us, its rapid development has also aroused much concern about whether it will one day think like man, or even worse, whether man will think like the computer.

In my judgment, although the computer may have incredible intelligence, it is unlikely that it will take the place of man someday. Unfortunately, with the increasing reliance on the computer, there is indeed a danger that some people may think and act the same way as the computer which is programmed. They may lose the ability to think critically and reactively, and eventually develop some “programmed routine” in their behavior, neglecting the rich subtleties of human feelings.

Accordingly, while making good use of the computer, we should always bear in mind that it is only a useful tool for us, and that we should always bear in mind that it is only a useful tool for us, and that we can always think of better and more humane ways of coping with our problems.

電腦已經成為人類生活中不可缺少的一部分。在電腦為我們帶來巨大便利的同時，它的快速發(fā)展也引起了很多人擔心：電腦是否會像人類一樣思考，或更糟糕的是，人類是否會像電腦一樣思考。

在我看來，雖然將來的電腦可能擁有無比的智慧，但是他不可能取代人類。然而，隨著人們對電腦的依賴感逐漸增強，確實有這樣的危險：有些人可能會像電腦一樣程序化地思考、行事。他們可能會失去自己的邏輯思考和應變思維能力，最終發(fā)展成一種“程序化的常規(guī)”行為，而忽略豐富、微妙的人類感覺。

因此，在我們好好利用電腦的同時，我們應該始終牢記：電腦只是我們一個有用的工具，而我們總能想出更好、更人性化的方法來應對自己的難題。
