“I can walk into my office in New York and use the exact same data that someone in Japan is using—at exactly the same moment,” says Thomas A. Saunders III, general partner at Saunders Karp & Company, a private merchant bank. “We’re connected to the same data system, twenty-four hours a day. People everywhere in the world are hardwired together in a communications network that is far more sophisticated than anyone envisioned. Capital markets and currency markets are beyond government control. And I don’t need a newspaper to tell me anything about any of those markets.”
“What you see are the profits of evolution at work, increasing the potential so that more can be done in a shorter period of time,” says Dr. Jonas Salk, medicine’s great researcher. “We’ve got more people collaborating at greater distances, so at this point more is possible in a shorter period of time than a hundred years ago. The more resources you have, the more means you have to progress.”
“Remember when computers first appeared?” asks Malcolm S. Forbes, Jr., editor-in-chief of the business magazine that bears his family’s name. “They were feared instruments of Big Brother. Television was feared to be an instrument of propaganda. But thanks to high technology, they’ve had the opposite effect. The computer became smaller and much less of a mainframe. Power grew astronomically, so you weren’t tied down anymore.

托马斯·A·桑德斯三世是桑德斯·卡普公司(一家私人银行)的一般合伙人他说"我走进在纽约的办公室，可以和日本的某个人同时使用相同的数据信息。我们一天24小时都连在相同的数据系统上。世界各地的人都用相同的通信网络紧紧联系着，这种网络的复杂程度令人难以想象。政府无法控制资本市场和货币市场，所以无需看报纸我就可以了解这些市场的信息。
乔纳斯·索尔克医生是医学界有名的研究专家，他说。人们看到了进步所带来的好处，潜力越来越大，人们能在更短时间内做更多的事。和一百年前相比，人们相距更远了，合作的人却更多了，做事的效率也更高了。谁拥有的资源越多，就必须研发出更多的工具和方法。。
"还记得计算机刚问世的时候吗?。《福布斯》商业杂志的主编小马尔科姆·S·福布斯说。人们担心它会成为专制者工具，怕电视机成为宣传的工具。然而，因为有了高科技，它们带来了相反的效果。计算机的体积越来越小，不再是耶种大型主机了，但威力越来越大，人们也不再受其束缚。

INTRODUCTION
The Human-Relations Revolution
……（接上文）
“The microchip is extending the reach of the human brain the way machines extended the reach of the human muscle in the last century. Today software is becoming the slabs of steel. Fiber optics and digital screens are becoming the railroads and the highways for transportation, and so information is raw material.”
“Now,” Forbes goes on, “you can do your messaging and your computer work on a little two-pounder on your lap —and do it anywhere you can find a plug or a satellite.” The result? More people have more access to more information. “People can see what’s happening in the rest of the world,” Forbes concludes. “It’s a very democratizing influence.”
The fall of the Berlin Wall, the disintegration of the Soviet bloc, the uprisings in China, thestruggles for democracy in Latin America and the Caribbean, the ongoing industrialization of the developing world—all these changes signal a new industrial freedom and a new recognition that the world is a community. Every one of these changes has been pushed along by wider access to communication technology.

芯片是人脑的延伸，正如19世纪机器是人类肌肉的延伸一样。今天，软件正在成为钢板，光纤和数字屏幕正在变成铁路和公路，而信息就是原材料。
福布斯接着说。现在，只要在大腿上放一部两磅重的计算机，就可以在任何有插座和信号的地方工作和交流信息。结果呢?更多的人可以获得更多的信息。他总结道。人们可以了解世界其他地方正在发生的事，民主化的程度大大提高。。
柏林墙倒塌，苏联集团解体，拉丁美洲和加勒比海国家的民主运动，以及发展中国家如火如荼的工业化改革——所有这些变化都标志着一种新的工业自由和对世界共同体的新认识。这每一项变革之所以发生，都是通信科技得到更加广泛利用的结果。

INTRODUCTION
The Human-Relations Revolution

Striking images of this change are now routinely beamed around the world. Chinese students wave English-language banners for the cameras. Saddam Hussein—and for that matter, the American Joint Chiefs of Staff—both followed the progress of the Persian Gulf War on CNN.
But technology alone is never enough in difficult times. Just because the means of communication are readilyBut technology alone is never enough in difficult times. Just because the means of communication are readily available doesn’t mean that people have learned to communicate well. Far too often today, they haven’t. This is one of the ironies of modern times: the great capacity to communicate, the great failure to do so. What good is all this information if people don’t know how to share it?
Not long ago the Graduate School of Business at Harvard University conducted a survey of its students, alumni, and recruiters. Given the pressing need for communication today, the results should come as no surprise. “What we are finding,” says Harvard business school professor John A. Quelch, “is a large measure of satisfaction with the technical competence of the graduating students.”
These bright young people can crunch numbers, analyze markets, and devise business plans, but when it comes to teaching human-relations skills, Harvard is stepping up its efforts. “That seems to be the area where improvements are needed,” Quelch observes. “Oral and written communication, teamwork, and other human skills.”

反映这一变革的一幅幅令人印象深刻的画面，现在都传送到世界各地。中国学生在镜头前挥舞着用英语写成的横幅。萨达姆·侯赛因和美国参谋长都能通过美国有线电视新闻网追踪波斯湾战争的进展。
但是，在困难时期仅有科技是不够的。通讯手段非常便利并不意味着人们已经学会如何有效沟通。现在人们之间的沟通怀远远不够，有待进步。这是当今时代的一大讽刺人们的通讯能力越强，但沟通的效果却越差。如果人们不懂得彼此分享，这些信息又有何用?
不久前，哈佛大学商学研究生院对它的在校生、毕业校友和招聘人员作过一项调査。由于当今社会急需沟通，所以结果在人们的意料之中。哈佛商学院教授约翰·奎尔奇说一从调查结果看，我们对应届毕业生比较满意的是技术能力。
这些聪明的年轻人精通数字运算，能分析市场和设计商业方案，但谈及教授人际关系技能，哈佛大学正在努力改进。奎尔奇教授说。口头和书面交流、团队合作以及其他人际关系技能似乎是需要改进的领域。
