As is known to all, technology progress is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it brings us great convenience. For example, the high-speed railways make it possible to travel from Beijing to Taiyuan within three hours. On the other hand, it has also brought about negative impacts. To some extent, quite a lot of people have to lose their jobs because of technology progress. What’s more, people are spending more time playing their smart phones than communicating with each other.
