Is technology making people lazy?
In present society, the rapid development of science and technology has brought a lot of convenience to people’s life. But a host of people show concerns that the convenience of technology is making people lazy thinkers.
From my point of view, whether technology makes people lazy depends on the circumstances. On the one hand, technology can promote the development of human productivity, liberating human beings from tedious manual labor, so as to carry out more meaningful innovation activities. On the other hand, people incline to turn to the Internet for help while facing difficulties along with the popularization of Internet, which makes people reluctant to think actively and fosters laziness to some extent.
To sum up, human beings do benefit from technological progress. I think we should make use of technology to develop new and more creative industries. At the same time, some exploratory practices ought to be carried out to prevent people from being lazy.

科技让人变得懒惰了吗?
当今社会，科技发展日新月异，这为人们的生活带来了很多便利。但是也有很多人认为这种科技带来的便利性正使人变得懒于思考。
在我看来，科技是否会让人变懒惰要视情况而定。一方面，科技提高了生产力，可以将人类从繁琐的体力劳动中解放出来，这能促使人们进行更有意义的创新活动。另一方面，随着网络的普及，人们遇到困难时，越来越倾向于求助网络，这在某种程度上使人们不愿意主动思考，助长了惰性。
总之，人类确实会从科技进步中获益。我认为我们应该利用科技发展新的、更具创造力的产业，同时还应该进行一些探索性的实践，避免人们变得懒惰。
