你有没有意识到,在计算机用户和其它普通用户之间存在着很深的“数字分界线”。我想,没有人对这点表示惊讶。种种事实表明,这个本已很宽的分界线正在变得越来越大,而且到目前为止,也没有出现这个分界线可能会缩小的任何迹象。有人认为,数字分界线可以通过技术来缩小。但我认为,事情并不完全是这样的。技术是早就已经具备了的(这正是数字分界线的来源)。计算机技术在过去30年中得到了长足的发展,而现在,这种分界线只是越来越宽。 Did you realize that there is a deep “digital divide” between computer users and other ordinary users. I do not think anyone is surprised at this. The facts show that this already broad dividing line is getting bigger and bigger, and so far there has not been any sign that this dividing line may be reduced. Some people think that the digital divide can be narrowed by technology. But I think that’s not exactly the case. Technology is already there already (this is the source of the digital divide). Computer technology has made great strides over the past three decades, and now the line of demarcation is only getting wider.
