[译文参考]　团结起来力量大:互联网如何改变了我们
关于万维网奇妙之处的文章已经很多了。讲述互联网如何使我们的生活变得更加方便的文章数不胜数。购物的时候,我们不再需要排队等候,也不需要随身携带现金。我们可以从大型数据库中获得最新信息。只要我们需要,我们随时都可以下载软件、文档和图片。然而,互联网为人们做的事情还有很多,并不仅仅是让生活变得更加方便而已。人们的生活已经被在线社区和社交网络改变了。
英国伯明翰的一位英语教师简·夏曼尼突然身患重病,被迫辞去工作。50岁时,她发觉自己失业了,困在家里,只有电脑相伴。过了一段时间,她发现上网可以帮助她感到不那么孤独和无聊。她可以听音乐、看电影、玩游戏、探索世界。她还加入了一个在线群组,在群里,她可以谈论自己的问题,获得其他人的支持和建议。她意识到互联网的最大好处之一就是能够消除通常存在于人和人之间的距离感。
她受到网友的启发,决定成立一个IT俱乐部来教年长一些的人们学习使用电脑和互联网。如今,她与朋友们一起组织活动,筹集资金来聘请私人教师。许多人得到了俱乐部的帮助。一名59岁的男子学会了如何在网上求职,而且找到了一份很棒的工作。由于他可以工作,并且能够照顾好自己,他的女儿就有时间在大学里学习了。一名61岁的独居女性与两位朋友一起创办了一家小型网络公司。她不再感到孤独,而且她的公司也相当成功了。
简开始参加网络课程,更多地学习如何利用互联网让社会变得更加美好。她认为,消除数字鸿沟、确保每人都能使用互联网并知晓如何运用新技术,是非常重要的。她的下一个目标是创建一个慈善网站,为贫穷国家的儿童募捐。
简的生活因互联网而得到了极大的改善。“当你经历困难时期时,你会遇到其他面临相似挑战的人。”简说,“想到别人的处境,我就会受到激励,伸出援助之手。”(共42张PPT)
