My View on Automated Collection Bus
1． 无人售票公共汽车在一些大城市相继出现
2． 你对这种公共汽车的看法 Dear editors:
(1)In recent years more and more automated collection buses are running on the streets of big cities. (2)While they are praised as “ an advance in technology”, I hold an opposite view.
(3)Automated collection buses don’t fit the socioeconomic circumstances of our country. (4)To judge a particular technology, appropriateness is a sole criterion. (5)That’s to say, any technology introduced or solution adopted should take into account the unique economic, ecological, cultural and social conditions within which a specific problem exists. (6)For example, bicycles can provide more efficient transportation than automobiles in congested cities, and “barefoot doctors” in large rural areas may meet more health needs than highly sophisticated hospitals. (7)The same applies automated collection buses. (8)In a labor-rich country where more and more people are laid off because there are not enough jobs available, people-oriented machines are more suitable than technology-oriented ones. |
