当前,世界范围内正在兴起一场以电子计算机、生物工程、新材料、新能源、光导纤维、激光、海洋开发和宇宙航行等为基础的新的技术革命。这场新的技术革命,将使社会生产力以空前的速度和规模迅猛发展。其中,工业固然有一个极大的跃进,而农业从长远考虑,它前景比工业更为广阔远大。著名科学家钱学森在开始研究新的技术革命与我国现代化建设的关系时,就提醒大家注意下个世纪知识最密集的产业将是农业这一趋 At present, a new technological revolution based on computers, bioengineering, new materials, new energy sources, optical fibers, lasers, marine development and space navigation is emerging all over the world. This new technological revolution will enable the social productive forces to develop at an unprecedented speed and scale. There is, of course, a great leap forward in industry. However, in the long run, agriculture has far broader prospects than industry.
