正如过去的20世纪并排人类的冬天一样,把到来的新世纪和新千年喻为人类的春天也为时过早。事实是,21世纪的晨钟和“千年虫”的警报同时鸣响,小小的一个“千年虫”已经令所有对未来怀有最浪漫企盼的人粟粟自危,更何况更多更大的“千年虫”还潜伏在人类和地球的周边,而非计算机里。 100亿人口挤爆地球 就像带宽是INTERNET的瓶颈一样,人口也制约了新的千年发展的极限。 Just as in the winter of side-by-side humanity of the past twentieth century, it is premature to call the coming new millennium and the new millennium the spring of humankind. The fact is that the 21st century morning bell and the “Y2K bug” alarm sound at the same time. The tiny “Y2K” has made all those who have the most romantic hopes for the future millet, let alone more and larger “ Millennium bug ”is also lurking around humans and the earth, not computers. The crowding of Earth with 10 billion people is just like the bottleneck of bandwidth being the Internet, and the population has also constrained the limits of the new millennium.
