2019年成人英语三级考试阅读理解习题讲解10

In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer

history, the early postwar era, there was a quite widespread

concern that computers would take over the world from man one

day. Already today, less than forty years later, as computers

are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in

business and in our personal lives, we are faced with a less

dramatic but also less foreseen problem. People tend to be

over-trusting of computers and are reluctant to challenge

their authority. Indeed, they behave as if they were hardly

aware that wrong buttons may be pushed, or that a computer

may simply malfunction.

Obviously, there would be no point in investing in a

computer if you had to check all its answers, but people

should also rely on their own internal computers and check

the machine when they have the feeling that something has

gone awry. Questioning and routine double checks must

continue to be as much a part of good business as they were

in pre-computer days. Maybe each computer should come with

the following warning: for all the help this computer may

provide, it should not be seen as a substitute for

fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.
