A Major Advantage/Disadvantage of the Information Age
信息时代的好与坏
As everyone knows, the information age has brought us countless benefits, but when it comes to its major advantage, people may hold different views. As for me,the major advantage of the Information Age is that itmakes it easy for individuals to have instant accessto all kinds of information.
众所周知，信息时代给我们带来了无穷无尽的好处，但是当说到它的最大优势时，人们的意见各不一样。对于我来说，信息时代最大的好处就是人们可以轻而易举的猎取各种信息。
In the past, for instance, if a student was meant to compose a thesis,he was supposed to bury himself in piles of books in the library, and probably after several days’ or even several months’ searching, he still could not find the materials he wanted. But now it is a totally different story. The advanced techniques of the information age have spared us all those troubles. What we need to do is just sit in front of thecomputer and search for our target information on the Internet rather than struggle painfully in numerous books. More excitingly, we don’t have to waste several days or even months waiting. Usually the information we need will be transferred to us in seconds. The information age can not only bring convenience to students in searching of materials, but also help people in all walks of life, save their energy and enhance their efficiency.
过去，如果学生要完成论文的写作，他会在图书馆中查阅各种资料，或许他查阅资料的时间是几天，或者是几个月，有时他还是找不到他想要的材料。但是现在却大不一样了。先进的信息时代能够省却我们所有的麻烦。我们所需要做的就是坐在电脑前搜索信息，而不是在茫茫书海中寻找。更有趣的是，我们不用等待数天，或是几个月的时间。我们所需要的资料通常会在几秒钟内传递过来。信息时代不仅能够为学生带来方便，它还能帮助各行各业的人，省却他们的精力，提高他们的效率。
Now since we’re in an economy based around the manipulation of information, I have every reason to believe that this advantage of the information age will play an even greater role in the future.
我们的经济体是基于这些多元化的信息之上的，我坚信信息时代的好处将会在未来扮演更加重要的角色。
