In some places, it has helped curb corruption, encouraged more girls to go to school and enabled citizens to monitor election violence.
But according to a report issued Wednesday by the World Bank, the vast changes wrought by technology have not expanded economic opportunities or improved access to basic public services in ways that many had expected. Rather, the report warned darkly, Internet innovations stand to widen inequalities and even hasten the hollowing out of middle-class employment.
Those who are already well-off and well-educated have been able to take advantage of the Internet economy, the report concluded pointedly, and despite the expansion of Internet access, 60 percent of humanity remains offline.
"Countries that are investing in both digital technology and its analog complements will reap significant dividends, while others are likely to fall behind" the reported added. "Technology without a strong foundation risks creating divergent economic fortunes, higher inequality and an intrusive state."
How a society takes advantage of information technology depends on what kind of a society it is, the report concluded.
Women are discouraged from going online in some countries, the report found, and across the countries of South Asia, they were far less likely to own a mobile phone. Those who are illiterate— still 20 percent of the world’s population—cannot take advantage of the Internet at all; and in the developing world, the technology industry employs barely 1 percent of the work force. In rich countries, technology employs 3 to 5 percent of the work force, still a small fraction of total employment.
According to the bank’s survey, more than half of all countries had privacy laws on the books, but only 51 of them were in the developing world.
The bank, which says it has itself invested $12.6 billion in information technology projects, calls on countries to make the Internet "universal, affordable, open and safe." Yet it also takes pains to say that expanding access will not be enough for citizens to take advantage of the benefits. It also recommends enabling companies to compete, strengthening the skills of workers so they can obtain the new jobs and making government institutions accountable.
"The triple complements—a favorable business climate, strong human capital and good governance—will sound familiar—and they should because they are the foundation of economic development," the report concluded.
The World Bank appeals to the following aspects EXCEPT______.
选项
A、making the Internet affordable
B、enhancing a competitive atmosphere
C、improving workers’ skills
D、creating good working environment for employees
答案
D
解析
细节题。根据题干关键词定位到文章倒数第二段第一句calls on countries to make the Internet“universal,affordable,open and safe”。后接的原文还有如下表述strengthening the skills of workers so they can obtain the new jobs,即“提高工人的技能使他们能够获得新的就业机会”,故D项为正确答案。A项“能够付得起互联网费用”、B项“提升竞争环境”和C项“提高工作的技能”均正确,因此排除,故本题选D。
