Scientific and technological advances have changed our lives. But some
scientists in some fields say that scientists are not able to find solutions to
the problems they have created. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
We sure live differently from our parents did decades ago. The changes are
wide and profound . At the same time， we are facing challenges and problems
unknown in the past. Could we find solutions to problems created by scientific
development? The answer seems to be no.
Some of the most obvious problems caused by technological advances lie in
the IT industry. At a time when we did not have computers and electronic bank
services， people took money with them and paid by cash. If they were stolen，
only the amount they had with them was lost. But now credit cards are more
commonly used in shopping malls and other places， crimes again us have become
more serious and caused greater losses to people. A thief may tape the code of
your credit card and make a copy of it. Then he could safely withdraw all your
money from an ATM machine. Crimes such as this are very sticky to solve because
there is no witness and the surveillance cameras give little help to the
police.
Another example is the issue of information control with the media industry
including TV networks and Internet that give easy access to information without
discrimination to people's age. This has created a huge problem for parents and
schools because teenage people are particularly vulnerable to adult materials
and information violent in nature. In the past， when most information came in
the form of print， it was relatively easy to control what children read. When a
parent put away a book unsuitable for children， they were cut off from the
source of information. With computer parents could use software to filter bad
web sites but could not prevent new ones from appearing every day.
People are working very hard to solve such problems that come along with
advances in science and technology， but the efforts are not sufficient and not
very successful. Even with the little progress we have achieved， we find
ourselves defeated by new problems with greater complexity and in wider
scope.
In conclusion， developments in many fields of our life have brought us both
benefits and problems. Developments in the banking industry give us greater
convenience but making us targets of computer-based theft. Changes in media
industry expose young people to inappropriate information difficult for parent's
control. However up until now， we have not successfully found permanent
solutions yet.
