Idea of progress : is modern techology vital

Idea of progress

Intro:

I’m going to talk to you about the notion of “progress”. To begin, I would like to give you a definition of that concept. Progress is a constant evolution towards a better stage. So it’s the idea that the world can become a better place in terms of technology, politics, or medicine. Progress is defined as any form of improvement. In terms of that concept, the focus of my presentation will be on technologies, that is, we will focus on advances in science and technology. I can question whether modern technology is a vital part of our lives. In a first step we will see the choice of Amish and in a second step the digital detoxification.

Développement:

Technology is ubiquitous in our daily lives, making our lives much easier. For many people modern technology is a vital element of our life but this is not the case for all the world for example to illustrate this idea I refer to the Amish, who are an Anabaptist religious community, do not want to be standardized with the rest of the world, as their first rule says: “You will not conform to this world that surrounds you”. That is to say that they do not travel by car but by carriage, they do not have a mobile phone etc…

With that in mind, I can talk about digital detox programs, which are taking away a connected device for a certain period of time for anyone who wants to do one. They make it possible to be more productive in one’s work, to no longer miss essential things such as friends, family, leisure, the “real” life or to improve the quality of sleep. These cures can be done at either what is free or in centers or guest houses with a coach and it costs about 185 pounds per person.

Conclusion:

To conclude my argument, I would like to say that even though technologies are a great improvement for all of us by making our lives faster, more comfortable, easier, there are a lot of disadvantages. It is dangerous to forget our real social life for technologies, to think that social media is more important than a real life. In fact, technology is cutting us off from the world, and people should be more aware of that.

Intro:

Je vais vous parler de la notion de « progrès ». Pour commencer, j’aimerais donner une définition de cette notion. Le progrès est une évolution constante vers une meilleure étape. C’est donc l’idée que le monde peut devenir un meilleur endroit en termes de technologie, de politique ou de médecine. Le progrès est défini comme toute forme d’amélioration. En ce qui concerne cette notion, le sujet de mon exposé sera les technologies, c’est-à-dire que nous allons nous concentrer sur les progrès des sciences et des technologies. Je peux me demander si la technologie moderne est un élément vital de notre vie. Dans un premier temps nous verrons le choix des Amish et dans un second temps la désintoxication numérique.

Développement:

La technologie est omniprésente dans notre vie quotidienne, elle nous facilite grandement la vie. Pour un grand nombre de personne la technologie moderne est un élément vital de notre vie mais ce n’est pas le cas pour tous le monde par exemple pour illustrer cette idée je me réfère aux Amish, qui sont une communauté religieuse anabaptiste, ne veulent pas se standardiser avec le reste du monde comme le dit leur première règle: « Tu ne te conformeras point à ce monde qui t’entoure ». C’est à dire qu’ils ne se déplacent pas en voiture mais en calèche, ils n’ont pas de téléphone portable etc …
