Digital Life: 2Be or not 2Be? [5/19]

文章 Brouse »

Dear all:

This is my fist time to be host in yoyo, and it's my honor to host next Wednesday's meeting (5/19). ^^ .

We are going to talk about “Digital Life ".

As we know, the emergence of wireless and high-speed networking technologies made a great impact on our life. They can help us automate repetitive human tasks, control a wealth of physical devices in the environment, find the information we need, and enable us to work together with other people through space and time.

However, new technologies also bring some defects, such as the risk of a growing digital divide, doubt about health issues, stand-by energy consumption, concerns for waste and recycling.

But, parts of the people still believe its benefits outweigh potential negative effects or public concerns .cause it offers the chance to decrease use of raw materials and energy. For instance, electronic transaction and storage reduces the need for travel and transportation; smaller products mean less raw material and some new services do away with physical products altogether, as in the case of the answering machine.

「Questions」:
1. Emerging technologies have brought us closer to film's vision of the future. Let’s discuss about what picture of Digital Life you image in your mind?
2. Are you always excited to get a new product? Do you aspire to have a smart home/eHome to improve the quality of life? Or just want to put away all the modern possessions and returned to nature?
3. Do you agree the benefit of Digital Life outweigh its potential negative effects? What is your opinion?
4. Nowadays our personal data are stored in computer, and always transform via internet. It is important to protect personal information from falling into a snare. Have you ever suffered torments from “Swindling Call”? Please tell us about your experiences.
Brouse :D

Arthur小弟我程度不好,要多讀些文章練習練習才是
我知道大家都很忙,可能沒空每次都將文章看完(我也一樣,當然如果host能準備適當長度的文章就更佳了),不過總是一些挑戰,逼自己一定要讀些東西,更何況讀的東西有人可以一起分享討論還是很不錯的拉

凡事多一些準備,才不怕到時手忙腳亂說不出話來才好....
這是我的經驗啦

沒錯 沒錯 小妹英文程度也不好 雖然常會偷懶不念文章就去參加
但往往會覺得自己不知所云....(雖然唸了再去 也不一定會知道自己在說什麼 :? )
不過 可以先唸唸文章總是比較好
一方面訓練reading 一方面增廣見聞
再一方面多少也較能融入要討論的主題囉
這也是當初設定 希望host要準備文章的目的啊
host也可以藉著找文章的同時 增進自己的英文能力
好處多多呢 :lol:
