    Automation Changed The society
    The trend in today's offices and factories is paralleling that of the farm 200 years ago. If history repeats itself——and most experts believe it will——automation will continue to reduce the number of workers needed to accomplish unskilled and semiskilled tasks. Automation will also provide workers with valuable information that will help them better do their jobs.
    In the information society, workers will focus their energies on providing a myriad of information services. Today it is a bit difficult to imagine a society that may become desperately dependent on certain information services. But let's put this concern in its proper perspective. Can you imagine our nineteenth century forefathers becoming as desperately dependent on the speed of air travel or hair dryers as we are?
    Who among us would give up our hair dryer!
    「評語」
    該文體現(xiàn)了學(xué)術(shù)報告文章的嚴(yán)肅性,里面有很多漂亮而規(guī)范的句子,比如:“put this concern in its proper perspective”,“If history repeats itself”。結(jié)尾的幽默手法也很符合英語習(xí)慣。
