Thus far, there is little evidence to suggest that technology will reduce inequality; indeed it may only intensify inequality. Technology is costly and it is generally impossible to introduce advances to everyone at the same time. So who gets this access first? As we travel further and further along the electronic frontier through advances such as telecommuting (在家办公) and the Internet, the poor may be isolated from mainstream society in an " information ghetto (贫民窟) " .
Drawing on a survey, the Census Bureau (国家调查局) estimated that only 6. 8 percent of households earning less than $ 10,000 had home computers, compared to 61. 7 percent of those with incomes of $ 75,000 or more. This issue goes beyond individual interest or lack of interest in computers.
The technological advances of the present and future may not be equally beneficial to men and women. Many studies have shown that computer games, which serve as an important means of early socialization to computers, typically involve sports or skills associated with the traditional male role. As a result computers camps have become mainly male settings.
Like money, food, and other resources, technology is unevenly distributed within societies and throughout the world. The technology gap is widening rather than narrowing. Although nations are exchanging technical data more freely than before, critical technology transfer is often kept back. The technology exported to developing countries may be poorly suited to the conditions of their economies and workplaces.
The data the Census Bureau collected indicates that______.
选项
A、technology has widened the gap between the rich and the poor
B、individual interest in computers might be a significant reason
C、the survey has covered more than enough investigation samples
D、the estimation by the Census Bureau is subject to correction
答案
A
解析
题干意为“国家调查局的数据显示…”。由第二段可知,国家调查局根据一份调查,估出在收入不到10,000美元的家庭中,拥有电脑的家庭只占6.8%,而收入在75,000美元及以上的家庭中,拥有电脑的家庭占61.7%。也就是说,穷人家庭中电脑拥有率很低,而富人家庭电脑拥有率很高。电脑代表先进的技术。所以可以说,技术拉大了穷人与富人之间的差距,故选A。
