Ⅰ【作文】
Computer and Man
(1)It is believed that the computer can do almost every thing. At the time the computer was
invented, scientists, carried away by its calculating speed, felt that they had created a miracle. It was
gradually used not only in mathematics, physics, chemistry and astronomy, but in places like the
library, hospital and military army to replace the work of man. For the work of man. For this reason,
the computer was entiled “Electronic Brain” in terms of appreciation。
Can man be controlled by computers? The answer is negative. Although a computer works
much faster and accurately than man , a fact is undeniable; it is designed, manufactured and
programmed by man, and therefore by human beings. Of course, science fictions have made up
many fascinating stories about a computer, or rather robot, who conquers man and the earth, even
the whole universe; however, they are only unrealistic imaginatio. A horse helps man a lot runs
much faster than we, but it is only a slave。
The future for the computer is very promising. With the help of it, we can do things that could
not be done before. Conquering the universe, discovering new things, explaining mysteruiys
phenomena puzzling us at present are all made possible by computer。
(2)It is believed that the computer is bringing the world into a brand new era. At the time the
computer was invented, scientists, marveling at its calculating speed, felt that they had created a
miracle. Nowadays, the function of the computer is no longer confined to calculation; it permeates
people’s daily lives and has become an inseparable part of human society.
People become so heavily dependent on computers that it is hard to imagine the life without
computers. Therefore, some people are worried that “The real danger is not that the computer will
think like man, but man will think like the computer.”
Their concern does make sense. Indeed, some people spend such a long time working on computers
that they have few interactions with people in real life. According to a research, too many hours in
front of a computer may lead to a poker face and interpersonal isolation. This fact should arouse our
attention, because unlike computers, human beings are social creatures that need emotional
connections with others.
Yet, it is also unnecessary for us to be overwhelmed by the negative impacts of computers.
After all, we humans are intelligent and will be able to figure out better ways to make
improvements.
