a great deal of attention is being paid today to the so-called digital divide-the division of the world into the information rich and the info poor. and that divide does exist today. my wife and i lectured about this looming danger twenty years ago. what was less visible then, however, were the new, positive force that work against the digital divide. there are reasons to be optimistic.
今天,人们非常关注所谓的数字鸿沟——将世界分为信息丰富和信息贫乏。而这种分歧在今天确实存在。二十年前,我和妻子曾讲述过这种迫在眉睫的危险。然而,当时不那么明显的是对抗数字鸿沟的新的积极力量。我们有理由保持乐观。
there are technological reasons to hope the digital divide will narrow. as the internet becomes more and more commercialized, it is in the interest of business to universalize access--after all. the more people online, the more potential customers there are. more and more governments, afraid their countries will be left behind, want to spread internet access. within the next decade or two, one to two billion people on the planet will be netted together. as a result, i now believe the digital divide will narrow rather than widen in the years ahead. and that is very good news because the internet may will be the most powerful tool for combating world poverty that we are ever had.
我们有技术上的理由,希望数字鸿沟将会缩小。随着互联网越来越商业化,普及接入毕竟符合商业利益。网上的人越多,潜在客户就越多。越来越多的政府担心自己的国家会落在后面,想要传播互联网接入。在未来10年或20年内,地球上将有1-20亿人上网。因此,我现在相信,未来几年数字鸿沟将缩小而不是扩大。这是一个非常好的消息,因为互联网可能会是我们曾经拥有的对抗世界贫困的最强大的工具。
of course, the use of the internet isn’t the use of the internet isn’t the only way to defeat poverty. and the internet is not the only tool we have. but it has enormous potential.
当然,使用互联网并不是使用互联网,这并不是战胜贫困的唯一方法。而互联网并不是我们唯一的工具。但它有巨大的潜力。
to take advantage of this tool,some impoverished countries will have to get over their outdated anti-colonial prejudices with respect to foreign investment. countries that still think foreign investment is an invasion of their sovereignty might well study the history of infrastructure(the basic structure foundations of a society)in the united states. when the united states built its industrial infrastructure, it didn’t have the capital to do so. and that is why america’s second wave infrastructure-including roads, harbor, highways, ports and so on-were built with foreign investment. the english, the germans, the dutch and french were investing in britain’s former colony. they financed them. immigrant americans built them. guess who owns them now? the americans. i believe the same thing would be true in the places like brazil or anywhere else for that matter. the more foreign capital you have helping you build your third wave infrastructure, which today is an electronic infrastructure, the batter off you are going to be. that doesn’t mean lying down and becoming fooled, or letting foreign corporations run uncontrolled. but it does mean recognizing how important they can be in building the energy and telecom infrastructures needed to take full advantage of the internet.


了利用这一工具,一些贫困国家将不得不克服他们对外国投资的过时的反殖民偏见。那些仍然认为外国投资是对其主权的侵犯的国家,很可能研究美国基础设施(一个社会的基本结构基础)的历史。当美国建造工业基础设施时,它没有足够的资金。这就是为什么美国的第二波基础设施——包括道路、港口、高速公路、港口等——都是由外国投资建造的。英国人、德国人、荷兰人和法国人都在投资这个英国的前殖民地。他们资助他们。移民美国人建造了它们。猜猜现在是谁拥有它们的呢?美国人。我相信同样的事情也会发生在巴西或其他任何地方。你拥有越多的外国资本, 助你建立你的第三波基础设施,这是一个今天的电子基础设施,你将成为一个打击者。这并不意味着躺下,被愚弄,或者让外国公司不受控制地经营。但这确实意味着要认识到,它们在建设充分利用互联网所需的能源和电信基础设施方面是多么重要。
