Research On Technology Alienation Problems In The Modern Olympics

The origin and development of the Olympic Games is a big event of particularmeaning in the process of human civilization. The impact of it on the real world isincreasing by each day and has gained nationwide recognition, which has become a bigcultural feast for the modern society to share with. Spectators are looking forward to oneand another moments of breaking records from the Olympic field. People are intoxicatedwith the display combined with power and beauty from those moments. Olympic Gameshas always been a major topic of the human science research. With its firm foundation ofhumanities, rich cultural smell, distinct value orientation and the correlation with sociallife’s multi-level and multi-dimension absorbing many subjects into its own research field,launching new and valuable research results consistently.In the developmental process of modern Olympic Games, the advance of technologyhas always been a significant driving mechanism. For example, the outline andconstruction of the Olympic venues, renovation and transformation of the sports equipment,the appearance of all kinds of measuring instrument with higher and higher accuracy,training methods for sportsman and progress of the methods for curing illnesses aredisplaying far-ranging apply of the technology. We may safely say that the technology hasequipped the Olympic Games with speedy wheels, the sportsman and spectators with adream wing. Each Olympic Games has become a display window of advanced technologyand sophisticated equipment whereas a massive demand of athletic contest becomes animportant engine of scientific development.However, we shall put more emphasis on its dissimilation effect brought about by theOlympic Games when we already have noticed its tremendous supporting role broughtabout by the technology in the development of Olympics Games. That is to say, thehumane subject factor has been reduced tremendously, the power of technology has beenamplified unprecedentedly, people are becoming increasingly dependent on technologyand a sequence of negative influences was brought about by this dependency. The papermakes an analysis of technical Olympic Games intensively and argues about its necessityof Olympic Games stepping into a path of technology dissimilation. It discovers all kindsof technology dissimilation phenomenon existed in the Olympic Games, discussed abouttechnological support and eliminating technology dissimilation concerned with sometheories and factual problems; it points out that technological Olympic Games has beentrapped in the fields of philosophy, morality, ethics and logic. This kind of Olympic Gameshas betrayed its original and rich humane spirit and destroyed its original Olympic spirit.The paper manages to regress logically by promoting people to realize the value ofOlympic sport and set up humanism principle, appropriateness principle, forward-lookingprinciple for technology apply, prompting technology goes back to intermediary role. Toput it in one sentence, the science and technology would not surpass the subjectivity ofhuman no matter how they develop. Consequently, the paper puts forwards some solutionto dissolving a problem of technology dissimilation.
