Bill Gates. The Road Ahead
Chapter 6. Markets and Money.
When
Adam Smith wrote The Wealth of Nations in 1776, he talked about
a world where every buyer knew every seller's price, and every seller
knew how much to ask for. |
market
- рынок; |
We
do not have that world yet. Sometimes you buy something for $500 and then
see it in another store for $300, and you feel stupid. It happens with
many different things, but for the same reason. You didn't have enough
information. |
|
The
Internet will bring buyers and sellers together. You will be able to find
anything, using your computer. And as this happens, the middlemen, the
people who sell things for other people, will have to do more for both
the buyers and sellers to keep their jobs. |
both ... and - и ... и; |
This
idea will frighten a lot of people. But it will stop frightening most
of them when it becomes part of our lives. We will ask for more, and get
more, from the middlemen. |
|
The
travel business is a business of the middlemen. The people at the travel
office will have to work harder to keep their customers. It will be easy
to get travel information through the Internet, and many people will start
to plan their own travels. |
business ['biznis];
own
[ |
On
the Internet, lots of people will buy things straight from the companies
that make them. Because of this, advertising will change. And when you
think that something you bought isn't very good, or when you really love
it, you'll be able to tell other customers about it on the electronic
bulletin boards. Before you buy something, you'll be able to read what
other people are saying about it on the bulletin boards, too. |
|
Of
course, you don't have to listen to everything everyone on a bulletin
board says. Sometimes a few users try too hard to tell people how they
feel. Their messages become angry. I've seen this happens with bulletin
board, and it kills them. |
|
There's
another problem too, with the bulletin boards. Today, if someone keeps
telephoning you and you don't want to hear from them, the police and the
telephone company will work together to stop them. But no one will get
angry at the telephone company. They will get angry at the person who
is telephoning. |
|
It's
different with newspapers. If a newspaper tells lies about you, the newspaper
is in trouble. |
|
The
Internet companies are somewhere in the middle, between newspapers and
telephone companies. They give us information, but they also bring us
information that they didn't write, like the messages on a bulletin board.
There have been some problems with the bulletin boards. Some users have
become angry at what other users have put there. Does this mean that the
Internet company gets into trouble? It isn't clear yet. |
clear - ясный; |
I
think that, in the end, we will put the information on the Internet into
different groups. In some groups, there will be information that the company
has read, and changed if necessary. In other groups, the messages will
still come straight from other Internet users. |
necessary ['nesisri] - необходимо; |
But
the bulletin board won't be the only place to find out about things that
you want to buy. Today, you can see people in the movies drinking one
kind of beer or eating at a restaurant you know. This is a new kind of
advertising. In the movie True Lies, Arnold Schwarzenegger sees our Windows
program in Arabic on a computer screen. We paid for that. In the future,
when you see something you like in a movie, you will be able to ask questions
about it or even buy it through the computer. If there's a nice hotel
in the movie, you'll be able to find out where it is and how much the
rooms cost. You'll be able to stop the movie while you do this, and then
start it again when you have finished. |
find
out - разузнать, выяснить; |
Another
idea that will change shopping has already started. Levi Strauss &
Co is trying a new system for its jeans. At many of its stores, you can
tell them how big you want your pants at the stomach and how long your
legs are, and their computer sends these numbers to their factory. There,
another computer tells the cutting machines, and they make a perfect pair
of pants, just for you. |
Levi
Strauss [li'vai st stomach
['st
|
In
time, it's possible that everyone will have their personal clothing information
in their computer. It will be easier to buy someone a present when this
happens. You will know that the clothes will be the right size. |
size - размер; |
You
will also be able to tell your computer about other things you want to
buy. Your computer will tell you when it finds something interesting.
It will also use this to tell companies about you. This will help both
you and the companies. |
|
Advertising
today costs companies a lot of money. There are some companies – Coca
Cola, for example – who want everyone to see their advertising. But most
companies want to get their advertising to one group of people or another.
Toy companies want children, or the parents of young children, to see
their advertising, for example. Car companies want drivers to see their
advertising. And companies that make expensive cars want rich drivers
to see their advertising. |
|
When
companies know more about you, you won't have to look at advertising for
things that don't interest you. And the companies will know that the right
people are seeing the things they sell. |
|
Your
computer will tell the companies about what you're interested in buying.
Or what you're interested in hearing. |
|
Companies
that sell music will have new ways of doing business. You will be able
to pay for a song each time you listen to it. Or the company will be able
to give you a low price for playing it ten times, or maybe you will sometimes
be able to play some songs for free. Movie companies will do something
like this, too. |
low
[lu] - низкий; price - цена; maybe - может быть; |
There
will also be pay-messages. These will give you money if you look at them.
Of course, most of these won't give you much money, perhaps a quarter
or a dollar. But when someone wants you to notice them specially, you
will probably get more. These pay-messages will be another kind of advertising. |
quarter
['kw :t]
- 25 центов;notice ['n utis]
- заметить;probably ['pr bbli]
- наверно; |
Banks
will also have to change. There are about 14,000 banks for personal banking
in the United States. Most people use a bank near their home or office.
But as the Internet becomes better it won't be very important to have
your bank near you. There will be electronic banks – computers to watch
your money – and these banks will be everywhere because they'll be in
your computer, too. |
|
Many
companies will have to change when the Internet arrives. Some old jobs
will disappear but many new ones will take their places. And buyers and
sellers will both win. |
disappear
- исчезнуть; both - оба. |
]
- богатство;
