以因特网为代表的计算机网络正渗入社会的各个角落,日益显示出对促进社会文明和进步的作用。其实,人类的文明和进步始终同网络的作用分不开,只是传送信息的计算机网络,以其传送量大、速度快、分布广的特点,而使其他网络望尘莫及,其作用也就更加显著。 The computer network represented by the Internet is penetrating into every corner of society and increasingly shows its role in promoting social civilization and progress. In fact, the civilization and progress of mankind always can not be separated from the function of the network. Only the computer networks that transmit information are more significant than other networks because of their large capacity, high speed and wide distribution.
