互联网改变中国(3)
Transforming China
It's a short time for a country with a history of 5,000 years, but those 20 years appear destined to make a major difference to the nation

当然,互联网在影响社会的同时,也更加深刻地影响了中国人的生活。对于70年代、80年代和90年代出生的人来说,网络已是生活的一部分--他们的工作、生活、娱乐、社交,都不能离开网络的帮助;正是他们,使整个中国成为一个网上的国家,也推动了中国与世界的加速融合。

尽管有这样那样的问题,但互联网终究是以积极的面目经历着中国的改革开放并不断得到壮大。普华永道(PricewaterhouseCoopers)近日发布的《全球娱乐及媒体行业2007-2011年展望报告》中说,未来5年内中国的互联网市场总量将增加到925亿美元,在2010年,中国的互联网用户数量将超越美国,从而成为全球最大的互联网市场。互联网给中国带来的革命性的变革到底有多大,是没有一个人敢于,并有能力做出预测的。

The Internet has shaped the way people live and think at a more profound level. For the generations born in the 1970s, '80s and '90s in China, the Internet has become something indispensable in their work, entertainment and social activities. It's these generations that have helped to turn China into an information society and speed China's integration into the world.

The Internet brings with it problems, but overall China has been influenced in a positive way by its existence. According to a report on the future development of global entertainment and media by PricewaterhouseCoopers, in 2010 China will overtake the United States to have the largest population of Internet users, and in the next five years the Internet market in China will reach $92.5 billion. As for the longer-term influence the Internet will exert on China, no one can truly know the answer yet.
