日本不久前公布了《2001年信息化白皮书》,其中的调查统计数据表明,在当今全球信息化的潮流中,存在着巨大的信息鸿沟,而且这一鸿沟还有继续扩大的趋势。以因特网为例,到2000年11月,世界各地的网民数是:北美地区(美国和加拿大)1.6712亿人,欧洲1.1314亿人,但是在非洲大陆仅有311万人,拉丁美洲为1645万人,中东地区只有240万人。
Not long ago, Japan announced the “2001 White Paper on Informatization”, in which survey statistics show that there is a huge information gap in today’s global informationization trend, and this gap has continued to expand. Take the Internet as an example. By November 2000, the number of netizens around the world was 167.1 million in North America (the United States and Canada) and 113.1 million in Europe, but only 3.11 million in Africa and 16.45 million in Latin America Only 2.4 million people in the Middle East.
