雅思大作文范文及解析:科技让生活更复杂

有的人认为技术发展使得我们的生活过于复杂，并且解决方案是让每个人接受不使用那些科技的更简单的生活，你是否同意？

这是一道观点类大作文，讨论的是技术发展对于生活的影响。审题是需要注意两点，一是题目观点包含了两部分，即“技术发展让生活太复杂”是个问题，而“让人们接受无技术的简单生活”可以解决这个问题，在论证时需要对这两个部分都进行讨论；二是题目中包含了“everyone”这个绝对词，因此从反对角度切入会更加容易。下面，月半鸭和大家一起来看下具体观点。

首先，我们来看科技让生活变得更复杂的合理性。

如今一个人想要能在社会上正常生活，相比在几十年前确实需要学会使用更多设备，比如电脑和手机，并且在不同场景下需要使用各种软件，用来和他人联系、购物或是支付费用等等。同时，每天人们也会通过网络获取更多的信息，要做更多的选择和判断。这样看来，人们花费了更多时间和精力来适应这些新事物，使得生活确实变得更加复杂。

但是，这个前提本身也存在问题。技术的发展本身也在让事物变得更简单。比如，随着电子技术的发展，我们能将越来越多的功能全部集合在一台手机上，以前人们需要携带钥匙、现金、各类银行卡出门，现在仅需一台手机就可以替代上述内容。且新的技术不断在尝试让手机变得更轻更便于携带。

然后来看解决措施是否合理。观点认为让人们接受没有相关技术的简单生活是解决办法，但是，缺少了这些技术未必能让生活变的简单或是更让人能接受。技术之所以不断在发展，本身是源于人们不断在追求更好的生活。虽然看上去人们要学习很多新事物，但是许多时候人们的生活也变得更便捷，以前分居异地的家人想要联系只能通过书信且寄送需要花费好几天时间，但如今可以通过手机和社交软件随时随地进行联系。因此，以前的生活未必更加简单，想要让人们放弃技术生活也未必合理。

I would argue in this essay how the claim has misguided the true reason that leads to the complexity of life, and how absurd the thinking seems towards the development of human civilization. 

Technology certainly is not the true reason leading to the complexity of human life, but the most effective means making it less complex than it should be. For those myopically treating technological improvement in a misunderstanding way, the booming of the daily changing paths, the prosperity of the cutting-edge tools and the emergence of those brand new scientific discoveries have made our life unnecessarily complicated: we have to spend our time and energy learning new technologies, most of which become outdated even before we start to handle them; we are flooded with an abundance of information brought by the streaming media that is distracting us from doing jobs easily. But they have been confused in the superficial phenomenon, and are puerilely blaming all these on the development of technology. The civilization of human compels us to complicate our life, no matter how technology is developing, in which we are forced to further our paces to the other parts of the world to deal with the over-population, or we have to get access to methods to release the resource shortage or environmental pressures, or sometimes we need the information to know what is going next to our surrounding. Therefore, technologies, or should I say the new way mankind has established to better our living when we need more than what nature can confer, is allowed to reduce the complexity so that we can maintain our living path without so many barriers—to travel faster and further with automobiles, to communicate more swiftly with network, or to learn more easily via multiple-media.

To make technology isolated from human life, therefore, sounds extremely ridiculous after we have realized the truth that technology is not doable. Before scrutinizing the topic, the problem should be first clarified: for human beings, is the recurrence of the previous, simpler life necessary? Social advance, or should I say, the improvement of any species is a gradual, spiral up way leading to a state of complicacy that has the capacity to face the fierce surrounding and hardships that may come along. To live in a simple life, ergo, though imaginable, is never realistic when the human world is developed as its own pace. Simultaneously, avoiding technology use is just the ideology provoking the human life into a more painful and complicated situation. We now cannot imagine how ourselves and our descendants would be struggling with their lives in a world without modern transport, high-rise buildings, or communication applications, since they are, despite flaws, the most proper solutions we have ever figured out to address all the current issues faced by men when experiencing the increasingly populous society, the surging urge for landing and energy resource, the escalating demands for communication and unity, or even the macro perspective for searching another living place over the space for the long-lasting species continuation. 

In conclusion, it is the human nature and the global development that compels us to live more complicated, and technology is endured with the fate of simplifying them. Thus it is irrational to reduce our technological dependency for the realization of the impractical simple life.
