参考答案:     As vividly illustrated in the picture, a man, with a chaintied around his neck, is receiving commands from a computer,splattering saliva the way a dog does.What the picture wants to convey is that we are becoming slaves of hi-technology.
    It is true that advances in computer technology and the Internet are revolutionizing the way we work, study and live.It would be erroneous if we fail to acknowledge its benefits.However, while we enjoy the convenience the technology has brought us in this information era, the power of tech gadgets is reducing our strength in many areas.For one thing, we are actually reduced to a listless and indifferent person who prefers to press the buttons of gadgets than anything else.For another, we are becoming less productive, more stressed and easily annoyed as sitting hours and hours in front of computers.
    As I see it, we human beings should make use of technology to make life better, not to be slaves of machines.Hence, if we want to liberate ourselves from this slavery, we'd better utilizetechnology rationally.
