【头脑风暴导言】：

“零电视族”、“无线互联网时代”、“手机客户端”，初见此题，这些词汇浮现脑海，所有科技产品对人们生活的影响无非是教育角度、信息角度、娱乐角度等。但是，即使是今日古稀之年的老者亦会使用微信交流，利用支付宝付费。免费的WI-FI在众多公共场所已然普及，手机之影响潜移默化，势不可挡。

【作家立场】：对比电视，手机给人们的生活带来更多的便利，因此，手机更多地影响了人们的生活。

三段：第二次支持作家立场

四段：第三次支持作家立场

尾段：让步不支持观点的合理性 + 再次亮明观点

【思路拓展】：手机为何更多地影响人们的生活：

1.交流角度：手机因其携带便利，可助人们危机处理。例如，老人出门感到身体不适，可以打紧急求助电话。再比如，年轻女孩错过了回家的末班车，可以通过电话求助亲朋好友。

2.娱乐角度：手机阅读成为丰富人们精神生活的重要源泉。以我为例，我每日喜欢阅读和分享微信的朋友圈图文，在我遇到困境的时候，我喜欢求助于万能的朋友圈，通常，我的难题会迎刃而解，因此，手机成为我生活中不可缺少的部分。同时，手机成为现代人增强人际关系，拓宽交友圈的不可缺少的工具。例如，春季期间，人们习惯用微信拜年，发放电子红包，让亲朋分享快乐。

3. 便利角度：我喜欢旅行，在旅途中，手机APP给我的出行带来极大的便利。我喜欢用手机软件在《去哪儿》网预定机票和酒店。这不仅便利省时，而且，我可比较和选择价格低廉，时间便利的航班，以及交通发达，口碑良好的酒店。我曾经自驾旅行，手机高德地图APP使我轻松抵达旅行目的地。

【思路拓展】：电视为何也影响人们的生活：

1.我不得不承认：电视作为重要的科技产品，对于特定人群亦有影响。以老者为例，很多人不会使用手机复杂的功能，依然通过电视了解时政，消遣娱乐。考虑到他们视力已然下降，因此，电视才是他们最佳的获取信息和娱乐放松的源泉。

As for those students, so busy is the study life and so huge isthe study stress that they nearly have no time available to enjoy someamusements such as playing games or hanging out with their friends, thus,watching television greatly conduces to relaxing their bodies and easing theirminds. A survey conducted by Vista can justify my stand, after polling manyteenagers, many respondents claimed that having a short break via watchingtelevision is their best stress-reducer.

For instance, a large number of peopleuse cell phone QQ, Skype and other App to chat with their friends or parents nomatter how for they live from them. What I want to rebut，however，is that incomparison with the mobile phone, television could impose more positiveinfluence on one’s mental growth, charter-training and acquisition ofknowledge.
