English to Japanese: The Road Behind Bill

Source text - English
Ten years ago Bill Gates filled the 276 pages of The Road Ahead with predictions for Microsoft and for technology. "This is meant to be a serious book, although ten years from now it may not appear that way," Gates wrote. How did he do?
David Whelan Victoria Murphy, 04.25.05

Overzealous Moments
"Your misplaced or stolen camera will send you a message telling exactly where it is, even if it's in a different city."
Try flipping this one around: The things on which you send messages (phones, that is) are also cameras.
"If your son needs money, you might digitally slip five bucks from your wallet PC to his. … As you pass through an airport gate, for example, your wallet PC will connect to the airport's computers and verify that you have paid for a ticket."
Credit cards and Ebay's PayPal service are the closest things to digital money clips.
"You'll watch Gone With the Wind with your own face and voice replacing that of Vivien Leigh or Clark Gable."
Movie karaoke never happened. But you can mute Leigh or Gable and watch the movie with subtitles in Spanish.
"You'll be able to jump into a map so you can navigate down a street or through the rooms of a building."
A trippy version of MapQuest.

Prophecies Turned Reality
"You'll watch a program when it's convenient for you, instead of when a broadcaster chooses to air it."
Didn't take long: TiVo launched this technology in 1997.
"If you want to buy a refrigerator, you will look for the electronic bulletin boards containing formal and informal reviews."
There's little you can't find a review of online, thanks to sites like Amazon.com and Shopping.com.
"A middle-aged executive and her husband might see an advertisement for retirement property at the beginning of an episode of Home Improvement, while the young couple next door might see a family vacation advertisement at the opening of the same show."
Almost there. Several startups like Open and Navic are aiming to sell this technology to broadcasters and advertisers.
Selling music a new way: "You the consumer won't need compact discs, tapes, or any other kinds of physical apparatus. The music will be stored as bits of information on a server on the highway."
So why did he let old rival Apple essentially create this business?

Translation - Japanese
10年前、ビル・ゲイツはマイクロソフト社の将来やテクノロジーの進化を予測した、『ビル・ゲイツ未来を語る』という276ページに及ぶ本を執筆した。「これはまじめな本だが、10年後に読み返してみると、そうは思えないかもしれない」とゲイツは書いた。果たしてどうような予測を立てたのか？

外れた予測
「カメラをどこかに置き忘れたり、盗まれたりしても、カメラがメッセージを発して、今どこにあるのかを知らせてくれる」
▼メッセージを送る道具（つまり、携帯電話）そのものがカメラの機能を備えるようになった。

「息子がお金を必要としているようなとき、財布タイプの携帯パソコンから電子マネーの5ドルを息子のＰＣに送金する。また、空港の搭乗ゲートでも、財布パソコンを空港のコンピュータに接続すると、チケット代を支払い済みであることが証明できる」
そうした意味での電子マネーに近いものとしては、クレジットカードやオンライン送金システムの「ペイパル」がある。

「映画『風と共に去りぬ』のヴィヴィアン・リーやクラーク・ゲイブルの顔と声を、自分の顔と声に替えて映画を鑑賞する」
けっきょく、“映画版”カラオケは出現しなかった。ただし、リーやゲイブルの声を消去して、スペイン語やほかの外国語字幕で映画を鑑賞することは可能だ。

「地図の中に入り込むことが可能になり、街の路地を歩きながら目的地を探したり、建物の中の部屋に入ったりすることができる」
▼オンライン地図「マップクエスト」の進化形は、まだ実現していない。

当たった予測
「テレビは放送中の番組しか見ることができないが、将来はいつでも好きなときに番組を見ることができる」
実現にさほど時間はかからなかった。1997年、「ＴＩＶＯ（ティーボ）がこの技術を商品化した。

「冷蔵庫を買う際、専門家による評価やほかの購入者による評価が投稿された掲示板を参考にする」
「アマゾン・ドットコム」や「ショッピング・ドットコム」などのおかげで、オンライン上でほとんどの商品の評価を見ることができる。

「テレビのドラマ番組『ホーム・インプルーブメント』の冒頭で、中年の夫婦が退職後の土地や家屋についてのコマーシャルを見ているかと思うと、隣室の若いカップルは同じ番組の冒頭で、家族旅行の別のコマーシャルを見ている」
まもなく実現の見込み。オープンＴＶ社やナビック社といったベンチャー企業が、放送・広告業界にこの技術の売り込みをもくろんでいる。

音楽の新しい販売方法。「ユーザーはＣＤプレーヤーやテープレコーダーなどが不要になる。音楽は大容量のサービーて保存される」
こう予測していたのに、この音楽ビジネスを先に立ち上げたのが、なぜライバルのアップル社だったのだろうか。

	X Why did the menu change? The updates to the menu were made to make the site easy and more intuitive for visitors. Obviously, like any change, this may take a few days to get used to. The dropdown menus have been divided into two-dimensional panels with similar items grouped together under headings. This eliminates scrolling for those with smaller screens, and also improves readability. More information on the changes... Where is the "My ProZ.com" menu? Mouseover your name at the top of the screen. Here you will find information about your account, your email settings, and more. The "My ProZ.com" menu was moved up here to simplify the main navigation, and to keep all of this type of information together.
