Globally, we have moved from a culture centered on network television, cable, AM and FM radio and telephone into a digital society with mass media,streaming information, intelligent computer. To shift to a digital economy, best demonstrated by the explosive growth of the Internet, is transforming everyday products and practices. Ideas expressed in soft wares, chips, communication systems, financial institutions and mass media have enormous leverage worldwide. Beyond emails and online shopping, the Internet promises to change dramatically huge spectrum activities. Its benefits can be well illustrated in the following aspects.

在全球范圍內(nèi)，我們已經(jīng)從一個文化中心為網(wǎng)絡(luò)電視，有線電視，AM和FM收音機(jī)，電話的社會進(jìn)入到以大眾媒體，信息流，智能計算機(jī)的數(shù)字社會。轉(zhuǎn)變成數(shù)字經(jīng)濟(jì)，最明顯體現(xiàn)在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的爆增，它正在改變?nèi)粘．a(chǎn)品和實(shí)踐。思想體現(xiàn)在軟件，芯片，通信系統(tǒng)，金融機(jī)構(gòu)和大眾媒體擁有巨大的全球影響力上。除了電子郵件和網(wǎng)上購物，互聯(lián)網(wǎng)還承諾大改光譜活動。它的好處可以在以下幾個方面說明。

In the first place, it contributes to escape us from laborious work, save our time, facilitate our lives. Secondly, with computer’s extensive reach into every corner of the world, a perspective of human life can be shown only with a single keystroke. No matter where we are, in school, business workshops, operating rooms, labs, banks of halls of government, the Internet appears to reflect a perspective of human life. Furthermore, computer profits us by relaxation and entertainment it provides.

首先，它有助于我們擺脫費(fèi)力的工作，節(jié)省時間，方便了我們的生活。其次，計算機(jī)的廣泛延伸到世界的每個角落，只需一個單一的按鍵就可以透視人類生活。不管我們在哪里，在學(xué)校，企業(yè)車間，手術(shù)室，實(shí)驗(yàn)室，銀行政府大廳，因特網(wǎng)似乎都可以反映人類生活。此外，電腦不僅提供放松和娛樂還有利潤。

But on the other hand, some people debate that it is also inconvenient, waste the time, isolated us from people, and make our lives more complicated. Some people repair the most sophisticated computer but can’t mend a pair of socks. Yet in fact, computer collapse the distances and demolishes all boundaries. Whether computer is a blessing or a curse, depends on different circumstance and the way you use it.

但另一方面，一些人反對說電腦也很不方便，浪費(fèi)時間，和人們孤立起來，并使我們的生活更復(fù)雜。有些人會修理最復(fù)雜的計算機(jī)，但卻不能修補(bǔ)一雙襪子。但事實(shí)上，電腦消滅了距離并拆除所有的界限。計算機(jī)是祝福還是詛咒，取決于不同的情況和使用它的方式。

As a new millennium approach, we look forward to constructing a new fantasy land by combination with the wealth this new age will bring and the high technology it will provide.

作為一個新千年的方式，我們期待通過結(jié)合這個新時代將帶來的財富與高技術(shù)所提供的來建立一個夢想中的樂園
