跨学科 The rise of the Internet has been one of the most influential developments in human history, comparable in effect to the invention of the printing press and the telegraph (电报). Over two billion people worldwide now have access to more information than ever before, and can communicate with each other whenever they want, often using Web-connected mobile phones they carry everywhere. But the Internet's huge influence has only just begun.
"Mass use of the Internet is driving one of the most exciting social, cultural, and political changes in history, and unlike earlier periods of change, this time the effects are fully global," Schmidt and Cohen write in their new book The New Digital Age.
Perhaps the most far-reaching changes will come when the five billion people worldwide who currently have no access to Internet get online. The authors do an excellent job of examining the possible results of the Internet invention for individuals, governments, and institutions like the news media. But if the book has one major shortcoming, it's that authors don't spend enough time applying a critical eye to the role of Internet businesses in these sweeping changes.
At the centre of the book is the idea that "technology is impartial, but people aren't". By using this idea as a starting point, the authors aim to move beyond the now familiar optimist vs pessimist dichotomy (对立观点) that has characterised many recent debates about whether the rise of the Internet will finally be good or bad for society. In an interview with TIME earlier this week, Cohen said although he and his co-author are optimistic about many aspects of the Internet, they are also realistic about the risks and dangers that lie ahead when the next five billion people come online, particularly with respect to personal privacy and state monitoring.
