问题     An unremarked consequence of our new information age—one that will influence readers, writers, and publishers in the future—is that bad writing, chat speak, text, millions of message board posts that come from and lead nowhere, are having a cheapening effect on all written content. Editors and news directors today fret about the Internet as their predecessors worried about radio and TV, and all now see the huge threat the Web represents to the way they distribute their product.
    The idea that the practice and craft of writing can simply retool itself for the digital age overlooks the fact that the Web is giving rise to totally unique forms of expression, a writing that is different from the kind traditionally found in books.
    For lovers of literary writing, who are now watching the marketplace and Internet erode the remains of nineteenth-century print culture, these assurances may not be particularly consoling. We have no choice but to accept them. Arguing against the forces of digitalization is as much a losing battle as cursing the coming of the evening tide.

答案 我们所处的信息新时代所带来的一个不为大家所注意的结果就是糟糕的写作、闲聊式的语言文字,无数来无影去无踪的文本框信息——这一切使文字内容大打折扣,对未来的读者、作者和编辑将产生很大影响。今天的编辑和新闻主管对互联网感到非常苦恼,恰如他们的前辈们担心收音机和电视会抢了自己饭碗似地深感担忧。他们都将网络视为极大的威胁,担心网络会直接威胁到他们的产品销路。 有一种观念认为,加强练习及写作技巧就可以更新写作,就可以跟上数字时代的步伐。这种观点忽视了这样一种事实:网络正在引发一种完全独特的表达形式,这种写作完全不同于传统的书本写作。 对于喜爱文学写作的人来说,他们现在正目睹着图书市场和互联网侵蚀着19世纪印刷文化的残余,这些保证可能并不那么令人宽慰。我们没有别的选择,只得接受它们。与数字化抗争只会是一场必败之仗,就如同诅咒晚潮的来临一样徒劳。
