因特网不能做什么？
1 在1858年第一根横穿大西洋的通讯电缆铺设成功时，维多利亚时代的积极分子们曾欢呼说：“像电报这种为世界各国交流思想的工具诞生之后；那些根深
蒂固的偏见与敌意不可能再长时间存在了。

”甚至在今天，人们仍以同样的口吻
谈论着各种新技术．生物工程被说成是解决温饱问题的妙方。

人类基因组的排序
据说可以彻底根治癌症和其他疾病．然而，人们把最盲目乐观的想法倾注在了因特网上。

网络专家们的整个行业曾用令人驰神往的美妙话语（并因此而获得了不
菲的收入）称，因特网可以防止战争、减少污染；还能克服种种形式的不平等。

然而，尽管因特网出现的时间不长，依旧足以激起理想主义的灵感，但它存在的时间也已长得足以判断预言家的预言正确与否了。

2所有的断言中最为美妙的便是J麻省理J学院的一些专家们所宣称的：因特网是一种潜在的和平力量。

一位权威尼十拉斯内格罗蓬特说，正是由于因特网的
存在，来来的孩子们“将不知道民族主义为何物”。

他的同事迈克尔德托索斯曾写道，数字化通信将带来“计算机辅助下的和平”，它“有助于避免未来种族仇
恨的爆发和国家分裂的发生”。

他的理念是改进了的通信手段将减少误解；避免
冲突。

3可惜啊！这种断言并不比有关其他新技术可能促进和平的说法新鲜到哪里去。

在20世纪初，人们认为飞机的发明将有助于结束战争，因为它可以增进国际间的交往，使陆军变得陈旧过时（虽然这种说法不那么可信）——因为陆军容易受到来自空中的打击。

在第一次世界大战的现实使这些想法都成为泡影之后，人们
又把希望寄托在收音机上。
