答案   It can’t be denied that our world has undergone great changes because of the development of science and technology. While many people are excited about the economic boom and industrial development brought forward, others indicate that technology has carried with it a lot of problems and worry that if developing to excess, it may one day destroy the planet we live in. As far as I am concerned, both of the viewpoints have validity because technology itself has both advantages and disadvantages.
  For one, it is true that high technology helps solve many problems and make our life more convenient. The introduction of computers has somehow helped increase the efficiency in almost every aspect of our life and together with Internet, computers make it possible for us to know everything without stepping out of our bedroom and keep in touch with friends afar by sending emails or chatting on line. As another example, the introduction of new technologies in increasing production has been very effective in expanding agricultural produce. These are just a few examples to illustrate the advantages of technological advancement.
  On the other hand, technology may bring a lot of problems .too. Industrial wastes have seriously polluted our environment, which in turn leads to a lot of illness and extinction of some plants and wild animals. In another word, environment is a price paid for industrial development. This price, which used to be considered acceptable, is now deemed as too high. Moreover, with Internet and mobile phones, we had expected a closer relationship with one another. But on the contrary, face to face communication is largely reduced, because emails and online chatting system can help us "talk" with our friends without seeing them. As a result, the distance between people is enlarged, not narrowed.  Last but no least, high technology, while helping increase people’s working efficiency, accelerates the whole world’s pace and then leads to stress and pressure, which is proved by the increased number of psychological problems that today’s people have.
  It’s really difficult to say whether technology has done more benefits or harms. But I am convinced that technology itself has no fault and thus no responsibility to shoulder. The core of the problem is we human beings. It is the way we use technology that decides whether it has made or can make our world a better place to live, not technology itself. Therefore, what we should do is to take advantage of the technology, not to take disadvantage of it, while anticipating and avoiding the possible side effects it may bring us.
解析   题目要求探讨高科技是否让人类世界变得更美好的问题。换句话说，就是探讨高科技的优、缺点的问题。如果认为优点多于缺点，那么观点自然就是它可以让人类更幸福；反之，则是科技不能让人类生活的更好。当然也可能认为优点、缺点相当，那么这时一定要有自己的观点，比如可以是范文中的“科技本无罪，关键看人类”。
  在写作的时候，由于科技的题目这两年探讨的比较多，可以算是大家比较熟悉的话题，可写的素材也很多，因此一定要注意分论点挑选的问题。重点选取几个展开论证，切不可变成一些原因的罗列，而没有任何详细的论述。
