未来的科学与技术 1990年中期,费城的富兰克林学会自然科学博物馆(美国最古老的参观者可动手操作的自然科学博物馆),将开设一个举世无双的新设施——未来中心。目前,象大多数自然科学博物馆一样,该学院把重点放在自然科学和技术的基本原理上。展品用来探索这些基本原理及其技术表达形式,并从过去与现在的角度来展现它们。然而,未来中心的构思与其截然不同;它将集中展示21世纪 Future Science and Technology By mid-1990, the Franklin Institute for Natural Science in Philadelphia, the oldest science museum in the United States, could open a unique new facility, the Future Center. At present, like most natural science museums, the college focuses on the fundamentals of natural sciences and technology. Exhibits are designed to explore these basic principles and their technical expressions and to show them from the past and the present. However, the future center’s concept is totally different; it will focus on the 21st century
