This morning, I saw the shocking headline: “Passenger Dies When Car Crashes in Driverless Mode”. In the article, various people said that the public should oppose the idea of developing driverless cars. They said that some advances in technology were unnecessary and could even be dangerous. Hence, we should cease accepting technology just because it is new. The newspaper reported that the car company had already apologised for the accident, but the families of the deceased said it was not enough. Nevertheless, the company still claimed that most people would be travelling in driverless cars one day soon.
Should We Fight New Technology

今天早上，我看到了一个令人震惊的标题：“无人驾驶模式下的车祸导致乘客死亡”。在这篇文章中，很多人说公众应该反对开发无人驾驶汽车的想法。他们说，一些技术进步是不必要的，甚至可能是危险的。因此，我们应该停止仅仅因为技术是新的就接受它。该报报道称，该汽车公司已经就这次事故道歉，但死者家属表示这还不够。尽管如此，该公司仍然宣称，不久的将来，大多数人将乘坐无人驾驶汽车出行。
Should We Fight New Technology
我们应该抵制新技术吗？

On the one hand, there are many different groups of people around the world who live happily in the absence of new technology. Probably the most well known are the Amish, a group of Christians living in rural America. They do not own or drive cars, watch TV, or use the Internet. They have lived mainly as farmers since the 18th century, and they will probably be living the same way in the distant future. They advocate a simple life with an emphasis on hard work, family, and community. They think that is better than caring about luxuries or following the lives of the rich and famous. It could even be argued that the Amish’s quality of life is better since they live in and appreciate the natural environment rather than living in large, polluted cities.

一方面，世界上有许多不同的群体，他们在没有新技术的情况下幸福地生活着。最著名的可能是阿曼门诺派，一群生活在美国农村的基督徒。他们没有汽车、不开车，不看电视，也不使用互联网。自18世纪以来，他们主要以农民的身份生活，在遥远的将来，他们可能也会以同样的方式生活。他们提倡简单的生活，强调努力工作、家庭和社区。他们认为这比关心奢侈品或追随富人和名人的生活要好。甚至可以说，阿曼门诺派的生活质量更好，因为他们生活在自然环境中，欣赏自然，而不是生活在污染严重的大城市里。

Personally, I have benefited quite a lot from technological advances. I found my career as an AI designer through a social media network. My health monitor, which I wear all the time, has also helped me get into the best shape of my life. Of course, when new technology changes the way we live, it can be a scary prospect. Nevertheless, I will always look on the positive side of change and accept it rather than resist it.
