佚名 What exactly is infotech（注：information technology的缩写，如：hightech ）?85% of people polled recently had not a cluewhat is meant,although 53% of those polled said they thoughtit sounded pretty important. They were right.It is.So what isit? Well,put simply,it is the "marrying-up（注：结合，可译为“嫁接品”）"of products from several key industries: computers,telephones, television, satellites. It means using micro-electronics, telecommunication networks , and[ ★] fibreoptics（注：纤维光学）to help produce, store, obtain and sendinformation by way of words, numbers,pictures and sound morequickly and efficiently than ever beofre.
[2]The impact infotech is having and is going to have onour lives and work is tremendous.It is already linking theskills of the space industry with those of cable televisionso programmes can be beamed（注：定向发出（无线电信号、 广播节目等）） directly into our homes from
all over the world.Armies of "[★]steel collar（注：钢领，是作者借用white-collar和blue-collar workers的结构而造的一个词，即机器人）" workers,the robots,will soon be working in factories doing the boring,complex and unpleasant jobs which are at present still doneby man. In some areas such as the car industry this hasalready started. Television will also be used to enablecustomers to shop from the comfort of their homes by simplyordering via the TV screen, payment being made by direct debit（注：[｀debit] 记入借方的款项）of their credit cards. Homebanking and the automatic booking of tickets will also be donethrough the television screen.Cable television which in manycountries now gives a choice of dozens of channels（注：频道）will soon be used to protect our homes by operating[ ★]burglar and fire alarms （注：防盗、 防火警报， 国外称之为Automatic Security System，可安装在家中）linked to police andfire stations.Computers will run our homes, controlling theheating, air conditioning and cooking systems while robotswill cope with the housework.The friendly postman will be athing of the past as the postal service and letters disappearwith the [★] electronic mail （注：简称E- mail
， 电子邮件）received via[★]viewdata screens（注：计算机数据屏幕）.
[3]All these things are coming very fast and theireffects will be as farreaching（注：深远的； 广泛的）as thoseof the industrial revolution. Infotech is part of thetechnological revolution and that is with us now.
什么是信息技术？据最近民意调查显示，85％的人对其一无所知，尽管53％的被调查者认为它听起来很重要。的确，它很重要。但什么是信息技术？简言之，它是若干骨干工业产品的“嫁接品”：计算机、电话、电视和卫星。它包括使用微电子产品、通信网络和光学技术来帮助生产、储存、获取及借助于词汇、数字、画面及声音比以前更快捷及更高效地传送信息。
［2］信息技术正在并将会对我们的生活和工作产生巨大的影响。它已把空间工业技术与有线电视技术结合起来以便电视节目能从世界各地直接传送到千家万户。成批的“钢领”工人，机器人，也将很快在工厂做一些目前由人做的枯燥、繁杂及无趣的工作。在一些领域如汽车工业方面，已开始这样做了。电视也用来帮助顾客在舒适的家中购物，你只须通过屏幕订货并使用信用卡付款结帐。家庭银行业务及自动订票也可通过电视屏幕进行。目前在许多国家可为人们提供众多电视频道选择的有线电视，也可通过操作与警察局和消防站相联的防盗及防火警报来保护我们的家产。计算机将管理我们的家，控制取暖、空调及烹饪系统，而机器人则处理家务。友好的邮递员将随着邮政服务和信件的消失及邮件在计算机数据屏幕上的接收而成为历史。
［3］所有这一切来势迅猛， 而且其影响犹如工业革命一样意义深远。信息技术是技术革命的一部分，它已与我们密不可分。
