据联合国开发计划署日前发布的1999年度人力发展报告,编写电脑程序和破解遗传基因密码的能力已取代开采黄金,成为主宰世界各国未来经济力量增长的关键。 在这种竞相发展新科技的角逐过程中,科技先进与发展尚且不足的各国之间,彼此的差距正在日益扩大,比如在因特网上充分发展的国家比网络发展落后的国家,无疑具有重大优势。 According to the 1999 Human Development Report released by the United Nations Development Program recently, the ability to write computer programs and crack genetic code has replaced the exploitation of gold and has become the key to the growth of the future economic power in various countries in the world. In the course of competing for the development of new technologies, the gap between each other is still widening. For example, countries that have fully developed on the Internet have undoubtedly great advantages over those with backward networks.
