10.25大陆雅思大作文：互联网是不是重要的发明

人类历史上有很多发明，但有人认为重要的发明是互联网。你在多大程度上同意或不同意？

这道写作题整体上不难。对于带“肯定类词”的主观观点，我们还是建议选择反对的角度切入，这样会相对更好写。

我们先明确，互联网有哪些好处（因为互联网本身是个很常见的话题，所以大家可以做下积累）：

一是改变了我们的沟通方式，相较于传统的面对面和*沟通，互联网使得沟通更为快速和便捷。

二是改变了信息传播和获取信息的方式，我们可以随时随地搜索并获取想要的相关信息，信息传播也变得更加快速和简单。

三是推动了全球化的步伐，你可以通过互联网，在足不出户的情况下，就知道世界各地正在发生的事情。

但是，即使有这些好处，凭什么就能说“互联网是重要的发明”呢？

要知道，这类带肯定类词的观点其实是非常容易反对的，我们要、可以从两个点切入。

首先，世界上没有这样的普遍规律来决定什么是“重要的发明”。在建立任何评估之前，我们必须对被评估的是什么有一个明确的概念。这个概念应该是客观的，足够清楚的，以区分一件事和另一件事。

比如我们都知道，世界首富是杰夫·贝佐斯（亚马逊总裁），因为这是有明确的财富统计和财富榜排名的。

然而，“重大发明”一词过于泛化。每个人对重要性都有自己的定义，标准也是由自己的情况决定的。当每个人标准不同时候，你是很难说服标准和观点不同的人。

而且，你有没有想过，哪怕是同一个人，对于事物判断的标准是会随着时间和经历的改变还改变的。比如，你可能现在觉得互联网是重要的发明，但是20年前呢?你可能觉得是电视，因为你要通过电视获取信息、看动画片等等。

其次，即使有一个适当的衡量标准来确定在所有人类的多种创造中，什么才是真正重要的，互联网也没法单独占据主导地位。

这项发明确实从根本上改变了我们的生活，但不要忘了，互联网其实是一整个系统，它是建立在很多因素和发明上的。比如电子技术的发展，可以使用微型硅桥处理器处理数据；或者光纤的发展，可以用几乎无损的方式传输信息。

那既然有如此多的因素互相影响，我们怎么能认为互联网是那些发明中的佼佼者而不是其他呢？（电子技术和光纤表示不服~）

主题中提到的观点其实忽视了事物之间的相互联系。

如果有同学愿意挑战下从 认同这个观点的角度 来写作的话，可以在评论区留下自己的思路哦。

To evaluate whether the internet is the most important invention in human history, I might have to say that there is no such a common rule designed to assess what is the “most important invention” on the earth. As a product created in modern society, the internet also cannot be considered important if isolated from its related industries.

There is no such universal law to determine what is the “most important invention” around the world. A significant reason is that, before establishing any evaluation, we must have a definite conception of what is being evaluated. This conception should be objective, clear enough to differentiate one thing from others. However, the term “important invention” might be an overgeneralization, and the same argument applies to the expression of “most”. People may have their own definitions of the importance of any man-made product, but their criteria are determined by their own situations. That means, on the one hand, even if some may consider the internet as the most significant thing in their life due to the fact, say, that it has revolutionized the way how people communicate with others or has promoted the steps of globalization, they may still not succeed in persuading those holding the view that other inventions like automobiles are playing the most significant role, and on the other, a person's own judgement of the most valuable invention also changes as their life paces. Any appraisal involved to find out what is most important, therefore, would be relatively arbitrary and subjective.

Even if there is a measurement in place to ascertain what is really important of all mankind’s manifold creations, I have to say that the internet should not take pride of place alone. The truth that this invention has changed our life fundamentally is determined by multiple factors and is only persuasive when it is put into a holistic system. The internet is just an intermediate product that indicates how information theory is utilized in our daily life; compared with the former, the latter to some extent is what makes the whole thing work. There is also no need to mention how other products have contributed to the internet life, including the development of electronic technology, through which data can be processed using a tiny silicon-bridge processor, or of the optical fibers used to tran*it the information in a nearly lossless way. After knowing these, how can we reckon that the internet is the one that ranks the top of those inventions? The simple-mind mentioned in the topic neglects the interconnectedness between one thing and another, and fails to capture the essential truth of what really sets the wheel of human development in motion.

In conclusion, I would presume that one can never objectively measure what is most important to the human being, and it is unreasonable to solely reckon that the internet is essential without considering inventions related to it.
