Expression orale anglais: Idée de Progrès

EO anglais: idée de progrès

First let let me define the notion of Idea of Progress. This notion deals, the Ability or capacity to do a improvement, a development or a social advance which contribute to making the world a better place.

So we may wonder to what extent that technological innovation improve our lives.

To answer this key question, we will see a newspaper article of CNBC about Bioprinting, then we will analyze a video called « Can we auto-correct humanity »

and finally I will make a conclusion.

First of all we can read in the first document that the technology can make medicine better. For example It’s explained in the text that a young boy was born with a right hand malformation. Thereafter the doctors worked with « Enabling the future », a network of volunteers who are specialised in 3D printing for create a hand for the boy. This organisation has created in 3D more than 1500 plastic hands for kids and for free. At the end of the article it’s explain that now the 3D printing is intended to inaugurate a new frontier in medicine and and will provide personalized care for patients.

On the other hand, we saw a video who explain that the technological progress is at the origin of the social networks. In the video a man explain that people spend 4 years of their life looking at their phone. With social media, people lose touch and There is less and less face-to-face conversation. This way of life make persons selfish, egocentric and participe at the separation of the society. The man say that we measure selworth with the number of followers or likes we have and we live actually a digital insanity.

To conclude, I think that technological innovation can make the world better place on the contrary they can also destroy human relationships. It’s for this reason that I believe it’s necessary to control this progress otherwise it’s he who will control us.
