When I was a college student, I did a lot of traveling abroad. That was because a professor 1 me to
do so. She said, "Now is the time for you to travel around the world, 2 your knowledge through actual
experiences and have fun!" I 3 her.
Since I started to work for a 4 company, however, I have done most of my traveling through the
Internet. By using the Internet, I have seen the 5 of many cities on my computer screen. And I have
really made business 6 , too. With the help of the Internet, I have also got 7 about food in different
countries.
Therefore, I was beginning to feel that actual trips were 8 necessary when I happened to read a
famous chef's (厨师) comment on the Internet. He said, "It is very difficult to have real Italian food in a
foreign country, because we enjoy food and the 9 around us at the same time. So why don't you fly over
to Italy and enjoy real Italian 10 ?" Those words reminded me of my 11 advice. As information technology
12 , you might be able to do without making some real trips. But this also means that you will miss the
various 13 you can get from traveling.
Today there are people who 14 direct communication with others and spend much of their time on the
Internet. It is not surprising to see a group of people 15 not with each other but into their micro phones.
It seems as if such people are 16 by an invisible wall. They seem to be losing out on a good chance to
17 and talk with other people. I do not think that they are taking good advantage of information technology.
We should use information technology as a tool to make our daily 18 more fruitful. However, we should
never let it 19 our time for face-to-face communication. Let's make use of information technology more
20 , and have great fun in experiencing the actual world. |
