3、y, virtually everyone has said,No, quite contrary. The very people responsible for ushering in what some have called a technological renaissance say they are working longer hours, feel more stressed, are more impatient, and are even less civil in their dealings with colleagues and friends-not to men

4、tion strangers. And whats more revealing, they place much of the blame on the very same technologies they are so aggressively championing.The techno gurus 領(lǐng)袖）promised us that access would make life more convenient and give us more time. Instead, the very technological wonders that were supposed to l

5、iberate us have begun to enslave us in a web of connections from which there seems to be no easy escape.If an earlier generation was preoccupied with the quest to enclose a vast geographic frontier, the .com generation, it seems, is more caught up in the colonization of time. Every spare moment of o

6、ur time is being filled with some form of commercial connection, making time itself the most scarce of all resources. Our e-mail, voice mail and cell phones, our 24-hour Interact news and entertainment all seize for our attention.And while we have created every kind of labor-and time-saving device t

7、o service our needs, we are beginning to feel like we have less time available to us than any other humans in history. That is because the great proliferation of labor-and-time-saving services only increases the diversity, pace and flow of commodified activity around us. For example, e-mail is a gre

8、at convenience. However, we now find ourselves spending much of our day frantically responding to each others electronic messages. The cell phone is a great time-saver,Except now we are always potentially in reach of someone else who wants our attention.Social conservatives talk about the decline in

Has anyone bothered to ask whether the hyper speed culture is making all of us less patient and less willing to listen and defer, consider and reflect?Maybe we need to ask what kinds of connections really count and what type

10、s of access really matter in the e-economy era. If this new technology revolution is only about hyper efficiency, then we risk losing something even precious than time-our sense of what it means to be a caring human being.1.

The Declining Quality of Life.答案：CBCDB疑問注解: 互聯(lián)網(wǎng)、電子商務(wù)和全球化正在使一個(gè)新的經(jīng)濟(jì)時(shí)代成為可能。未來，資本主義市場(chǎng)將在很大程度 上被一種基于網(wǎng)絡(luò)關(guān)系、契約安排和準(zhǔn)入權(quán)的新型經(jīng)濟(jì)體系所取代。我們?cè)诠ぷ?、家庭和社區(qū)的生活質(zhì)量是否與我們生活中引入的所有新互聯(lián)網(wǎng)和企業(yè)對(duì)企業(yè)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)服 務(wù)成正比？我已經(jīng)向歐洲和美國(guó)的

15、數(shù)百名首席執(zhí)行官和企業(yè)高管提出了這個(gè)問題。令人驚訝的是， 幾乎所有人都說“不，完全相反”。正是那些負(fù)責(zé)開創(chuàng)一些人所稱的“技術(shù)復(fù)興”的人說，他們工 作時(shí)間更長(zhǎng)，壓力更大，更不耐煩，在與同事和朋友打交道時(shí)更不禮貌更不用說陌生人了。更 具啟發(fā)性的是，他們把大部分責(zé)任歸咎于他們?nèi)绱朔e極地支持的技術(shù)。技術(shù)大師(techno gurus)向我們承諾，接入將使生活更加方便，并給我們更多的時(shí)間。相反，本 應(yīng)解放我們的科技奇跡，卻開始把我們束縛在一個(gè)似乎無法輕易擺脫的聯(lián)系網(wǎng)中。如果說上一代人專注于封閉廣闊地理邊界的探索，那么.com這一代人似乎更多地陷入了時(shí)間的殖民。我們的每一個(gè)空閑時(shí)間都充滿了某種形式的商業(yè)聯(lián)

16、系，使時(shí)間本身成為所有資源中最稀缺的。我們的電子郵件、語音郵件和手機(jī)、24小時(shí)互動(dòng)的新聞和娛樂都吸引了我們的注意力。當(dāng)我們創(chuàng)造了各種各樣的勞動(dòng)和省時(shí)設(shè)備來滿足我們的需求時(shí)，我們開始感覺到我們比歷史上任何其他人都有更少的可用時(shí)間。這是因?yàn)閯趧?dòng)力和省時(shí)服務(wù)的大量增加只會(huì)增加我們周圍商品化活動(dòng) 的多樣性、速度和流動(dòng)性。例如，電子郵件是一種極大的便利。然而，我們現(xiàn)在發(fā)現(xiàn)自己一天的大 部分時(shí)間都在瘋狂地回復(fù)對(duì)方的電子信息。手機(jī)是一個(gè)很好的省時(shí)器，除了現(xiàn)在我們總是有可能接 觸到其他人誰想要我們的注意力。社會(huì)保守主義者談?wù)撐拿鞒潭鹊南陆?，并將其歸咎于道德指南針和宗教價(jià)值觀的喪失。有沒有人問過，高速發(fā)展的文化是否讓我們所有人都變得不那么有耐心，不太愿意傾聽、推遲、考慮和反思？ 也許我們需要問一下，在電子經(jīng)濟(jì)時(shí)代，什么樣的連接才是真正重要的，什么樣的訪問才是真正重 要的。如果這場(chǎng)新技術(shù)革命僅僅是為了超效率，那么我們就有可能失去一些甚至比時(shí)間更寶貴的東 西一一我們對(duì)成為一個(gè)有愛心的人意味著什么的感覺。一。根據(jù)文章，公司高管認(rèn)為A、技術(shù)復(fù)興應(yīng)該向前推進(jìn)。R 科技對(duì)他們的生活有著深遠(yuǎn)的影響。G 技術(shù)實(shí)際上導(dǎo)致了他們生活質(zhì)量的下降D技術(shù)應(yīng)該得到大力支持。2。以下哪項(xiàng)不正確
