VIII. Read the following passage carefully and choose the correct answer
New surveys suggest that the technological tools we use to make our lives easier are killing our leisure
time. We are working longer hours, taking fewer and shorter vacations (and when we do go away, we take
our cell phones, PDAs, and laptops along). And, we are more stressed than ever as increased use of e-mail,
voice mail, cell phones and the Internet is destroying any idea of privacy and leisure.
Since the Industrial Revolution, people have assumed that new labor-saving devices would free them
from the burdens of the workplace and give them more time to grow intellectually, creatively, and socially -
exploring the arts, keeping up with current events, spending more time with friends and family, and even
just "goofing off".
But here we are at the start of the 21st century, enjoying one of the greatest technological boom times
in human history, and nothing could be further from the truth. The very tools that were supposed to liberate
us have bound us to our work and study in ways that were inconceivable just a few years ago. It would
seem that technology almost never does what we expect.
In ‘the old days’, the lines between work and leisure time were markedly clearer. People left their
offices at a predictable time, were often completely disconnected from and out of touch with their jobs as
they traveled to and from work, and were off-duty once they were home. That is no longer true. In today's
highly competitive job market, employers demand increased productivity, expecting workers to put in
longer hours and to keep in touch almost constantly via fax, cell phones, e-mail, or other communications
devices. As a result, employees feel the need to check in on what is going on at the office, even on days off.
They feel pressured to work after hours just to catch up on everything they have to do. Workers work harder
and longer, change their work tasks more frequently, and have more and more reasons to worry about job
security.
Bosses, colleagues, family members, lovers, and friends expect instant responses to voice mail and e-
mail messages. Even college students have become bound to their desks by an environment in which
faculty, friends, and other members of the college community increasingly do their work online. Studies of
time spent on instant messaging services would probably show staggering use.
This is not what technology was supposed to be doing for us. New technologies, from genetic research
to the Internet, offer all sorts of benefits and opportunities. But, when new tools make life more difficult and
Ms. Tran_Anhhot794@gmail.com
stressful rather than easier and more meaningful - and we are, as a society, barely conscious of it- then
something has gone seriously awry, both with our expectations for technology and our understanding of
how it should benefit us.
40. According to the first three paragraphs, technological tools that were designed to make our lives easier
______.
A. have not interfered with our privacy
