Sample Issue Task
Following is a sample Issue task of the sort that you
might see on the test:
As people rely more and more on technology to
solve problems, the ability of humans to think for
themselves will surely deteriorate.
Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree
with the statement and explain your reasoning
for the position you take. In developing and
supporting your position, you should consider
ways in which the statement might or might not
hold true and explain how these considerations
shape your position.

In today’s world, technology has taken over our lives. With technological
advances, we are able to solve a lot of issues whether it be technologically
or logically.Whether it is a critical, technical or engineering issue, we are
not losing the ability to think critically and logically to solve our own issues
but I believe that we are relying a bit too much on technology and the Internet
which has ultimately shattered our connection with reality
Firstly,most people in a workplace tend to refer to technology to gain a better
understanding on something they are unsure of. Most solutions can be found
through continuous research and we tend to use our sources of technology to solve
those unsolved issues. Due to advancement in technology that we have come
through over the past years, we moved away from the struggles of physical labor.
Nowadays, with the technological advances that we have, engineers have
found solutions to create ways for us to travel to places within a day itself.
Traveling long distances was quite painful back in the days, but with cars, buses,
trains and airplanes, our mobility has increased over time. Through extensive
reasearch,the engineers have found ways to establish our mobility efficiency
increase. The thought of a car was unthinkable about 500 years ago.
Secondly,the development of programming languages has enabled us to store
data efficiently and in effective manner. The management of databases
ensures time management and smoother work completion for adults working
on a daily basis.The algorithms developed to predict future data based on
statistics and probability are some of the best innovations in the field of
computer science.The world keeps evolving at a faster rate and this surely
brings forth fascinating inventions which could either give us a solid front or
be a detriment to the planet.
However, these technological changes can be quite addictive to kids. The
excessive usage of mobile phones has left parents worried due to lack of
connection.The need to maintain a healthy and meaningful relationship is
blocked by mere video games. It’s not wrong spending some time to play
games but anything in excess is surely not good for you in the long run.The
radiation emitted by electronic devices can affect the vision and even leave
you blind in the future which is something parents want to avoid for
themselves and for their children.
In conclusion,technological advancement is one of the main factors for the
growth of this world. There’s so much we do not know about ourselves and the planet we live on. A human’s potential is far greater than we think and
technology gives us the room to develop and adapt accordingly. They won’t
diminsh our thinking ability. Instead, it enhances our thought process.
