English to Spanish: TOWARD THE INFORMATION SOCIETY / HACIA LA SOCIEDAD DE LA INFORMACIÓN
Source text - English The day is nigh when you or someone you know meets a potential partner through an
online dating service, courts long distance via interactive two-way video, and arranges a marriage license online.
Already your children may be close to attending a virtual school where they interact online with their teacher and classmates, use online libraries to research homework, and hand it in via E-mail. Somewhere in the future, you’ll don virtual reality goggles and gloves, plug your gear into a computer, and re-enact the Battle of Edgehill with other online Civil War enthusiasts.
Sooner or later, online services will touch every aspect of life from the way we earn a living to the way we play. Much of the necessary technology already exists, but other aspects must be invented or implemented. Computers must become easier to use, the phone system must evolve to handle massive amounts of data, and some means must be found to pay for these technological marvels.
However, in the headlong rush to embrace the benefits of an information society, we cannot ignore disturbing questions. Will we cloister ourselves in online communities populated only with people whose ideas mirror our own? Will the cost of this new technology widen the gap between the technological haves and have-nots?
Translation - Spanish Se acerca el día en el que usted o algún conocido suyo conozca a su pareja potencial
mediante un servicio de citas en Internet, corteje a distancia con vídeo bidireccional interactivo, y organice el acta de matrimonio en la red.
Puede que sus hijos ya estén a punto de ir a un colegio virtual en el que interactúen en línea con sus profesores y compañeros, utilicen bibliotecas en la red al investigar para hacer los deberes, y los entreguen por correo electrónico. En algún punto del futuro, usted llevará gafas y guantes de realidad virtual, conectará el equipo al ordenador, y recreará la Batalla de Edgehill con otros entusiastas de la Guerra Civil de la red.
En un momento u otro, los servicios en línea tocarán todos los aspectos de la vida, desde cómo nos la ganamos, hasta cómo jugamos. Gran parte de la tecnología necesaria ya existe, pero se inventarán o pondrán en práctica otros aspectos. Los ordenadores deben pasar a ser más fáciles de usar, el sistema telefónico ha de evolucionar para poder tratar cantidades masivas de datos, y se deben encontrar medios para pagar estos milagros tecnológicos.
Sin embargo, mientras adoptamos con prisas precipitadas los beneficios de la sociedad de la información, no podemos ignorar preguntas inquietantes. ¿Nos enclaustraremos en comunidades en línea habitadas únicamente por personas que reflejen nuestras propias ideas? ¿Se ensanchará el abismo entre los poseedores y los no poseedores de tecnología debido al coste de esta nueva tecnología?
