完型A great deal of attention is being paid today to the so-called digital divide-- the division of the world into the info (information) rich and the infopoor. And that divide does exist today. My wife and I lectured about thislooming danger twenty years ago. What was less visible then, however, were thenew, positive forces that work against the digital divide. There are reasons tobe optimistic.
There are technological reasons to hope the digital divide will narrow. As theInternet becomes more and more commercialized, it is in the interest ofbusiness to universalize access -- after all, the more people online, the morepotential customers there are. More and more governments, afraid theircountries will be left behind, want to spread Internet access. Within the nextdecade or two, one to two billion people on the planet will be netted together.As a result, I now believe the digital divide will narrow rather than widen inthe years ahead. And that is very good news because the Internet may well bethe most powerful tool for combating world poverty that we’ve ever had.
Of course, the use of the Internet isn’t the only way to defeat poverty. Andthe Internet is not the only tool we have. But it has enormous potential.
To take advantage of this tool, some impoverished countries will have to getover their outdated anti-colonial prejudices with respect to foreigninvestment. Countries that still think foreign investment is an invasion oftheir sovereignty might well study the history of infrastructure (the basicstructural foundations of a society) in the United States. When the United Statesbuilt its industrial infrastructure, it didn’t have the capital to do so. Andthat is why America’sSecond Wave infrastructure -- including roads, harbors, highways, ports and soon -- were built with foreign investment. The English, the Germans, the Dutchand the French were investing in Britain’s former colony. Theyfinanced them. Immigrant Americans built them. Guess who owns them now? TheAmericans. I believe the same thing would be true in places like Brazil oranywhere else for that matter. The more foreign capital you have helping youbuild your Third Wave infrastructure, which today is an electronicinfrastructure, the better off you’re going to be. That doesn’t mean lying downand becoming fooled, or letting foreign corporations run uncontrolled. But itdoes mean recognizing how important they can be in building the energy andtelecom infrastructures needed to take full advantage of the Internet.
A great deal of attention is being paid today to the so-called digitaldivide--the division of the world into the info(information) rich and the infopoor. And that __1__ does exist today.

What was less __2__ then, however, were thenew, positive __3__ that work against the digital divide. __4__,there arereasons to be __5__.
