(IT) 10년간의 IT 발전

 

And the gadgets that have changed our lives and what the next decade holds. That’s all ahead on tonight’s PBS News Hour. Major funding for the PBS News Hour has been provided by BNSF Railway and by Toyota and by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation supporting science, technology and improved economic performance and financial literacy경제교육 in the 21^st century.

 

Finally tonight, Ray Suarez looks back and ahead after a decade in which technology transformed our lives. Back in 2000, fewer than half of Americans were online. Today, 77% of adults are. Last year, more than half used wireless Internet. According the Pew Research Center, desktop computers were increasingly replaced by laptops. Smart phones like the Blackberry and I-phone allowed users to access information and each other instantly.

 

The decade saw the rise of search engine, Google. Apple transformed the music industry with the I-pod. Media from music to newspapers to television became available on demand giving consumers more control over what they saw and when they saw it. Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter created virtual spaces for people to connect with one another. Cell phone videos and online communities have helped spread news from closed societies such as the recent anti-government protests in Iran.

 

Now for a look at the impact of those technological shifts and others, we’re joined by Jaron Lanier, a computer scientist and author of the forthcoming book, You are not a gadget, Esther Dyson, chairman of EDventure Holdings which invests in technology startups, and Paul Saffo, a technology forecaster and consulting professor at Stanford University. Esther Dyson, the tools we use to communicate have gotten smaller and faster and smarter. As you look back at the last ten years, what was the biggest development or the biggest change?

 

The biggest one was not just the Internet, but the Internet becoming accessible everywhere whether it was Wi-Fi at work on your cell phone as you traveled, people had it at home with broadband. That was a big change. It used to be people used the Internet primarily at work because that’s where they had a good connection. Now they’re using it at home. And the second big change is they used it not just to get information, but to communicate with one another. And so, it became not simply an information exchange, but a personal exchange, a communication mechanism. People starting talking and sending out information as well as receiving it.
