【正确答案】[范文] Modern Technology and Human Intimacy As regards the relationship between modern technology and human intimacy, there has been a heated discussion among people. Those who believe a positive relevance argue that the popularity of cell phones and Internet makes it easier to contact friends or relatives both at home and abroad. What's more, it is getting increasingly convenient to pay a visit to someone due to the constant improvement in transportation. By contrast, others hold that modern technology has widened instead of narrowed the gap. According to a recent survey conducted by CCTV, a high proportion of 86. 5 percent of scientists admit that calls, on-line chat, e-mails or short messages lack emotional cue. Therefore, face-to-face communication can never be replaced. In addition, modern technology accelerates the pace of life, which contributes to less and less casual and real communication between people. As far as I am concerned, technology does not play a decisive role. If we value our friends and relatives, we should get close to them in person. Otherwise, they will feel emotionally distant.
