Maguel de Icaza: Free software benefits people, countries and companies by giving them complete control of the software on which they depend. This is helping close the digital divide between developed and underdeveloped countries. People who previously might never have had access to this sort of technology are already leading the efforts to bring it to the developing world. Free software is the foundation on which a fairer future and a more efficient economy is being built.Austin
Hill: Welcome to the future. Your mobile phone tracks your location, your interactive TV records your viewing habits. Privacy is to the information age what environmentalism was to the industrial age. Businesses will protect themselves, and their customers, by introducing privacy-promoting technologies and building better data controls into every aspect of their operation. A leading class of privacy protectors will emerge in every industry, and both they and their customers will reap the rewards of the ethical privacy brand.
Ng Ede Phang: This will be the year that plain old text e-mail sits up and starts talking—and talking a lot. The human voice is powerful weapon. An e-mail doesn’t tell me whether you’re happy, sad or excited, whereas Internet voice services provide all these key emotional characteristics. The human voice adds a very powerful element to business relationships that e-mail just cannot match.
Murray Goldman: For those of us who live on airplanes, a key decision is which electronic devices to carry on a trip. The future is in the appropriate combination of communications and computing de-vices. Many business travelers will require the full computing power of a personal computer, with a screen large enough to do intensive work. As a result, lightweight notebooks have been introduced to the market with innovative options such as built-in DVDs, cameras and wireless capabilities.
Christine Karman: We’ll see agents on portals and community websites helping people trade goods and in-formation. Venture capitalists are shifting from dotcoms to software and hardware companies. In Europe, that shift is hard to make because we don’t have a Silicon Valley from which lots of companies are conquering the world. As a consequence, the slowly emerging Internet and software industry in Europe may not survive. If I were starting a new software company now, I’d go to California or Boston.
Note: there are two extra statements.Statements
A. Business travelers will set the trend of future computer market.
B. Europe will catch up with America in the hi-tech industry.
C. Privacy needs special protection in the information age.
D. Voice e-mail adds a human touch to online communication.
E. Compactness and multi-function will be a trend in the future market.
F. Free software helps bring about digital equality.
G. The digital divide between Europe and the U. S. may widen.

“清议”,《辞海》的解释是“公正的评论。古时指乡里或学校中对官吏的批评”。清议不只是一种发发牢骚的民间舆论,实际上它对中国古代官场的政治运作具有不可小觑的影响。被清议褒扬的人往往为万民传颂,而遭受清议批评的人则往往仕途蹇滞,难得升迁。因此,古人对清议非常在
