The physical manifestations of technological change surround us, affecting almost everything we do. The way we shop, the way shops are supplied, leisure activities, the way we organize travel, vehicles—all these have changed over the past 30 years or so. And major changes are occurring in the way we work.
One of the most visible social manifestations of "chips with everything" is the all-pervasive use of mobile phones. Technology has changed who we can talk to at any given time—we are not so limited by where we are or who we are with.
This has a ripple effect on the nature of communication as a whole and of people’s attitudes to it. Old models of communication—what you say to whom, and where—are being replaced by anytime, anywhere communication. That we may be microwaving our brains in the process is only one of the issues raised.
The Internet, too, is beginning to transform the way we do things. New models are developing of how information is published and accessed. New types of communities, based on interest and accident, are emerging. Your child and his friend on their video game consoles have become part of a global community, playing with kids in the US, Malaysia and Lithuania on a daily basis. Shouldn’t they be kicking a ball around in the park with the kids from the next street?
For someone working, these new technologies make them more constantly available, and increase expectations of a rapid response. It can mean their home life is invaded—or it can mean that they do not need to go to a particular place to access information.
Society is changing under the impact of these new technologies. But we are not sure how, nor if it is for the better. And we don’t yet know how to respond to the social and ethical challenges that are arising. The first priority, perhaps, is to spot these emerging challenges.
The author’s attitude towards new technologies is______.
选项
A、skeptical
B、welcoming
C、positive
D、ambivalent
答案
A
解析
属态度推断题。作者在最后一段写道:“社会如何向好的方向改变,是否会向好的方向改变,我们不能肯定。”这充分表明,作者对新技术持怀疑态度。
