10年前，没有人能预言，到 1999年末海南省会有近百分之十的人有自己的固定电话，而那时，全省每两百人才有一部电话：也无法设想，曾被形容为“鸟飞犹是半年程”的海岛，会有数以万计的人能够通过计算机网络几乎可以同时向地球上的任何地方传递文字、图片、声音等电子信息。 Ten years ago, no one could predict that by the end of 1999 nearly ten percent of Hainan Province would have their own fixed-line telephones. At that time, there were only one call for every two hundred people in the province: it could not be imagined. Tens of thousands of islands are still flying birds, and tens of thousands of people can send electronic messages such as words, pictures and sounds to almost anywhere on the earth simultaneously through a computer network.
