五問(wèn)：

（1）人類追求科技進(jìn)步的主要目的真的就是讓人們擁有更多閑暇時(shí)光嗎？還有沒(méi)有別的目的？更深層次的目的？例如：豐富人們的物質(zhì)生活，保衛(wèi)自身安全，探索未知世界等。

（3）科技進(jìn)步真的可以幫助人們擁有更多閑暇時(shí)光嗎？你能舉個(gè)反例嗎？例如：科技進(jìn)步雖然提高了人們的工作效率，但隨著社會(huì)對(duì)人的要求越來(lái)越高，競(jìng)爭(zhēng)壓力越來(lái)越大，工作更加忙碌，閑暇時(shí)光反而減少了。

（4）讓人們擁有更多閑暇時(shí)間就一定好嗎？什么樣的生活節(jié)奏才有利于人們的生活和人類的進(jìn)步？

（5）科技能解決人類的一切問(wèn)題嗎？有哪些問(wèn)題是科技無(wú)法解決的？你能舉出具體的例子嗎？例如：文化沖突、恐怖主義、戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)等問(wèn)題。
