    The Major Advantages/Disadvantages of the Information Age
选项
答案 The Major Advantages of the Information Age The current age is characterized by the ability of individuals to access abundant information and exchange information freely. However, there are heated debates over whether it has positive or negative effects. In my view, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. Firstly, we can acquire and process information at a higher speed and with more ease. With even just a few mouse clicks, we can obtain huge amounts of information. Secondly, collaboration between countries and organizations has been highly promoted since we can share resources via the Internet. Thirdly, life is made easier by the information technology. Bank transactions, paying bills and shopping can be done on the Internet and we can even work at home instead of commuting back and forth every day. However, we have to admit that our gains from the Information Age are also at the expense of our pains. Many people complain that they are overwhelmed by the information bombarding our lives every day. The rapid information flow impairs judgment and disrupts sensible decision-making. Besides, so obsessed with our fascinating electronic devices, we have no time to reflect upon what’s really important in life. Despite all the disadvantages, the development of the information technology will by no means stop at the current level, and its influence will also undergo considerable increase, whether we like it or not.
解析     本题是一个对比选择型题目，要求讨论信息时代的优缺点。人类所处的信息时代以信息的高速流通和获取信息的极大便利为主要特征，这给人类生活带来方便，同时也产生了一些人类在以往从未想象到的问题。可根据以下思路展开写作：
    思路1：只讨论信息时代的优点，包括信息处理速度加快，人与人之间，国家、机构之间合作加强，生活更便利。
    思路2：只讨论信息时代的缺点，比如人类交流方式由面对面交流转向更多的电话和在线交流，人情更淡漠，信息过量影响人的判断，剥夺人的思考时间等。
    思路3：主要讨论优点，并提到缺点，但指出优点多于缺点，缺点带来的问题是可以避免的。
    范文选取了思路3。
