Let's read two last chapters of the book.
Bill Gates. The Road Ahead
Chapter 9. The Internet "Gold Rush".
In
1994 and early 1995, when there was a lot of excitement about the Information
Highway, it seemed that almost everyday one company or another was trying
to become part of the plans to build it, to be the first to offer users
video through cable television, for example, or video-telephone systems. |
|
It
was like an exciting dream – small and large companies hoped to make a
lot of money with new electronics and ideas on how to build and run the
Highway. Everyone wanted to win. They didn't see much of a place for the
personal computer in this picture of the future. |
|
Then,
later in 1995, people suddenly seemed to notice the Internet. Communication
from one personal computer to another – from office to office, home to
home or country to country around the world – was clearly an early move
toward a future Information Highway. The excitement over building the
Highway turned quickly to excitement over the power that people already
had through their personal computers on the Internet. It was a welcome
change of thinking for Microsoft, where our thinking and planning was
already for "a personal computer on every desk and in every home." |
notice - замечать; clearly
- ясно;
|
Plans
changed fast at every communications, computer and software company. They
dropped their ideas for the Information Highway and started to look much
more carefully at the "World Wide Web" of personal computers
that people were already using. Companies quickly began to make computer
hardware and software specially for the Internet, to give users new ways
of sending and getting information on almost any subject, of doing business
and of making friends, for example. |
hardware - "железо" (детали компьютера); |
Internet
software is still becoming better and more powerful everyday, and in the
near future video and telephone systems will probably run on it, just
as people thought when they were making plans for the Information Highway
years ago. |
|
The
early days of the Internet are like the early days of the California Gold
Rush. People will make money in surprising ways. |
|
In
1852, about three years after the start of the Gold Rush, thousands of
men hoped to find gold and get rich quickly. A man named Levi Strauss
opened a store in San Francisco. Twenty years later, when many people
were still dreaming of finding gold, another man from Nevada offered Strauss
an idea for a new sort of pants, made of blue "denim." They
agreed to go into business together – and they got reach, but it wasn't
from gold. Since then the Levi Strauss company has sold more than a billion
pairs of blue jeans all over the world – blue gold, we could say. |
denim - грубая хлопчатобумажная ткань; since then -
с тех пор; |
Almost
everybody will some day share in the "reaches" of the Internet.
It will grow so that almost everyone in the richer countries of the world,
and large numbers
in the poorest countries, will be users. Microsoft is already working
toward that goal. |
toward - к; по направлению к; |
Chapter 10. Moving into the Information Age.
This
is an exciting time in the world of computers and information. It is a
beginning. New things are coming, and new jobs are coming with them. |
|
I
hope for great things from the future, but I worry a little, too. Workers
will have to learn these new jobs. Countries will become nearer together,
and this will change the way we feel about neighboring countries. There
will be new problems, but today we can only guess what they will be. |
neighboring
- соседний; guess - (у)гадать; |
Sometimes,
with everything changing, it seems that the world will be completely different
from one day to the next. It won't. But we have to be ready for some changes. |
completely - полностью; |
For
most people the problem is "Where will my place be in all this?"
They worry about new jobs and their children's jobs. These are serious
questions. Some jobs will disappear. But these are the same questions
I heard when the personal computer arrived in the work-place, and nothing
terrible happened then. |
|
Each
time a job disappears, the worker who has that job is free to do something
new. This means people do more work, and that is good for everyone. |
|
Before
we had machines, most people lived or worked on farms. Today, only a few
people in the United States do this work. The children and the grandchildren
of farmers didn't stop working; they just found new jobs. In 1990, more
than half the 501 different jobs you could have were jobs that weren't
there in 1940. |
|
Computers
frighten almost everyone (everyone but children) before they learn to
use them. When people spend more time with computers, they understand
them better. You can start by playing computer games or doing other simple
things. Once you start using them, I think you'll like them. |
but - (зд.) кроме;
|
The
most important users will be today's children and young people. The Internet
is for the future. To give the children this future, we have to do two
things. We have to get both girls and boys in front of computers. There
are women in the computer business, but there are places for many more.
We also have to get the Internet into the schools the lowest price possible
for using it. |
both ... and - и ... и. |
What
will the price of the Internet be? People worry about that. Because the
Internet needs as many users as it can get, it will not be expensive. |
|
People
are also afraid of sharing too much personal information. Computers already
have a lot of information about all of us - the telephone numbers we call,
how we did in school or college, where we work and how much we make. Today,
these facts are in many different computers. Each computer knows something
about you, but no computer knows everything. But the Internet will change
that because the computers can all talk to each other. There will have
to be new rules for this information: who can see it and how they can
use it. We will have to decide on those rules carefully. |
|
• At the same time, it's important to remember that computers can also "hide" information. You can keep your information safe by using a secret password or number. Computers today have very good systems for this. Computers of the future will have almost perfect systems. Without that password or number, no one will be able to read what's in your computer. Your personal information will be safer, in fact, than ever before. |
|
Yes,
there will be problems, but not impossible ones. There will be mistakes,
but we will learn from them. |
|
Fifty
years ago, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, a famous French writer and
airplane pilot, was talking about the airplane, the telephone and the
movies when he said that the best things people have made are all things
that bring people together. |
|
The
Internet will be a road to many places. I've had an interesting time thinking
about some of these places. And I'm excited to be on that road. |
