A Major Advantage/Disadvantage of the Information Age
信息時代的好與壞
As everyone knows, the information age has brought us countless benefits, but when it comes to its major advantage, people may hold different views. As for me,the major advantage of the Information Age is that itmakes it easy for individuals to have instant accessto all kinds of information.
眾所周知，信息時代給我們帶來了無窮無盡的好處，但是當說到它的最大優勢時，人們的意見各不一樣。對于我來說，信息時代最大的好處就是人們可以輕而易舉的獵取各種信息。
In the past, for instance, if a student was meant to compose a thesis,he was supposed to bury himself in piles of books in the library, and probably after several days’ or even several months’ searching, he still could not find the materials he wanted. But now it is a totally different story. The advanced techniques of the information age have spared us all those troubles. What we need to do is just sit in front of thecomputer and search for our target information on the Internet rather than struggle painfully in numerous books. More excitingly, we don’t have to waste several days or even months waiting. Usually the information we need will be transferred to us in seconds. The information age can not only bring convenience to students in searching of materials, but also help people in all walks of life, save their energy and enhance their efficiency.
過去，如果學生要完成論文的寫作，他會在圖書館中查閱各種資料，或許他查閱資料的時間是幾天，或者是幾個月，有時他還是找不到他想要的材料。但是現在卻大不一樣了。先進的信息時代能夠省卻我們所有的麻煩。我們所需要做的就是坐在電腦前搜索信息，而不是在茫茫書海中尋找。更有趣的是，我們不用等待數天，或是幾個月的時間。我們所需要的資料通常會在幾秒鐘內傳遞過來。信息時代不僅能夠為學生帶來方便，它還能幫助各行各業的人，省卻他們的精力，提高他們的效率。
Now since we’re in an economy based around the manipulation of information, I have every reason to believe that this advantage of the information age will play an even greater role in the future.
我們的經濟體是基于這些多元化的信息之上的，我堅信信息時代的好處將會在未來扮演更加重要的角色。
