In some places, it has helped curb corruption, encouraged more girls to go to school and enabled citizens to monitor election violence.
But according to a report issued Wednesday by the World Bank, the vast changes wrought by technology have not expanded economic opportunities or improved access to basic public services in ways that many had expected. Rather, the report warned darkly, Internet innovations stand to widen inequalities and even hasten the hollowing out of middle-class employment.
Those who are already well-off and well-educated have been able to take advantage of the Internet economy, the report concluded pointedly, and despite the expansion of Internet access, 60 percent of humanity remains offline.
"Countries that are investing in both digital technology and its analog complements will reap significant dividends, while others are likely to fall behind" the reported added. "Technology without a strong foundation risks creating divergent economic fortunes, higher inequality and an intrusive state."
How a society takes advantage of information technology depends on what kind of a society it is, the report concluded.
Women are discouraged from going online in some countries, the report found, and across the countries of South Asia, they were far less likely to own a mobile phone. Those who are illiterate— still 20 percent of the world’s population—cannot take advantage of the Internet at all; and in the developing world, the technology industry employs barely 1 percent of the work force. In rich countries, technology employs 3 to 5 percent of the work force, still a small fraction of total employment.
According to the bank’s survey, more than half of all countries had privacy laws on the books, but only 51 of them were in the developing world.
The bank, which says it has itself invested $12.6 billion in information technology projects, calls on countries to make the Internet "universal, affordable, open and safe." Yet it also takes pains to say that expanding access will not be enough for citizens to take advantage of the benefits. It also recommends enabling companies to compete, strengthening the skills of workers so they can obtain the new jobs and making government institutions accountable.
"The triple complements—a favorable business climate, strong human capital and good governance—will sound familiar—and they should because they are the foundation of economic development," the report concluded.
The best title for this text could be______.
选项
A、Internet: How to Change the World
B、Internet Promotes Economic Development
C、Internet: Angel or Devil
D、Internet Has Widened Inequality
答案
D
解析
主旨题。这篇文章主要解读世界银行所发布的报告,即互联网并没有像人们想象的那样缩小贫富差距,而刚好相反,对于技术的充分利用和经济发展的优势使得富者愈富,穷者愈穷。A项“互联网:如何改变世界”和C项“互联网:天使还是魔鬼?”范围过大,故排除。B项“互联网拉动经济增长”与文意不符,故排除。D项“互联网扩大贫富差距”符合题意,故本题选D。
