It is a great honor for me to be here today to announceCompaq's commitment to the China Youth Information OnlineProject.
I have participated in several events during my four dayshere in Beijing but this one is particularly special to mebecause it involves the young people who represent our future.
Based on what I have seen during my brief stay here, thatfuture is very bright.
I could see it in the faces of the several hundredstudents I had the honor of addressing at Beijing University.
I see it in the Chinese government's commitment to buildan information technology infrastructure that will enableChina to compete on an equal footing with other majoreconomies of the world.
And I see it in the promise of programs like this one.
From Western Europe to the Far East, Compaq is workingwith governments and educators to help improve access
toinformation technology and to incorporate the Internet intothe educational process.
We often talk about how the Internet is revolutionizingthe world of commerce,but the Internet has just as muchpotential to revolutionize education.
First,it is a tool for communications.
With the Internet, students can interact with otheronline students and schools in China and around the world .More and more schools are setting up their own Web pages toshare information,exchange ideas and learn more about othercultures.
In fact,at least one school in Beijing- the Number OneMiddle School of Beijing - is already on line as part of theSchool World Internet Education program based in Australia .And I'm sure there are others.
Second,the Internet is in many ways the world's largestresearch library. With the right direction from
theirteachers,students can find information that contributes totheir studies in a wide variety of fields.
They can visit an online museum,read the latest researchpapers from leading scientific institutions, and learn evenmore about current events.
Third,the Internet makes possible now approaches in long - distance learning.This will be particularly valuable
ina country as large as China.
As you build your Internet infrastructure and begin toprovide Internet access to schools, you will be able toprovide enhanced educational resources to schools in ruraland remote areas of the country.
The China Youth Information Online Project is consistentwith Compaq's vision of a world
where
virtually
allinformation is on line and people can securely access theinformation they need from anywhere at any time.
We are pleased to be working in partnership with theChina Youth Association and the China Commodities ExchangeCommission to bring education to the classroom via theInternet.
Compaq is donating 370 personal computers and 13 serversto Youth Palaces and schools in 12 cities. This equipmentwill enable each Youth Palace and school to set up anInternet classroom.I had the honor of attending the openingceremony of the Beijing Youth Palace earlier this week andwas proud to see that Compaq was making such a largecontribution to China's youth.
Through these efforts,youngsters will not only improvetheir education by using the Internet,they will also learnskills that are critically needed to help China achieve itsinformation technology and E-commerce goals.
It is also important for young people to understand theInternet because it is driving significant changes in ourworld:changes in how we communicate,how we buy and sell ,how we compete and how we live and work.
Today's students are tomorrow' s information technologyleaders.
By building an Internet infrastructure, you will givethese students the tools they need to help establish China asone of the leaders in the Internet Age.
The China Youth Information Online Project is a goodstart,and Compaq is honored to be part of this effort.
We are committed to working with you and with otherorganizations and institutions in China to help make theInternet an integral part of your educational system and youreconomy.
Thank you.
今天，我十分荣幸地在这里宣布康柏公司对于发展中国青少年信息网络工程的承诺。
最近四天，我在北京参加了许多活动。但今天的这项活动对我具有特殊意义，因为它是为了代表未来的年青人。
根据我在这里短暂逗留期间的所见所闻，我认为前途是十分光明的。
我有幸在北京大学发表了演讲。我能够从几百名学生的面孔上看到这一点。
中国政府致力于建设信息技术基础设施，它将使中国能够在平等的基础上，与世界其他主要国家开展竞争。我从中看到了这一点。
我从今天这样的工程项目的承诺中也看到了前途的光明。
从西欧到远东，康柏公司跟各国政府和教育机构开展了合作，目的就是帮助和改进对信息技术的访问，并将互联网技术应用于教育发展过程。
我们经常谈论互联网如何使商务领域发生了革命性变化。不过，互联网同样具有实现教育革命化的潜力。首先，它是一种通信工具。通过互联网，学生可以跟中国和世界各地联网的学生以及学校，执行交互式通信。越来越多的学校在竞相设置他们自己的网页，以便共享信息，交流思想，更多地学习其它文化知识。
实际上，北京至少有一所学校已经联网，成为澳大利亚校际互联网教育计划的一个组成部分。它就是北京第一中学。而且，我相信，还有其它的学校也联网了。
第二，从许多方面来看，互联网是世界最大的科研图书馆。在教师的正确指导下，学生可以从许多方面发现有利于他们学习的信息。
他们可以访问联机博物馆，阅读领先科研机构的最新研究报告，了解有关当前科研活动的更多信息。
第三，互联网使远程教学这种新方式成为可能。这对于像中国这样面积广大的国家来说，具有特别重要的意义。
你们通过建设自己的互联网基础设施和开始为学校提供互联网访问，就可以为农村和偏远地区的学校提供更多更好的教育资源。
中国青少年信息网络工程，与康柏公司对未来世界的看法是一致的。我们预见，未来世界的所有信息都是联机的，人们可以在任何时间和任何地点，以安全可靠的方式，访问他们需求的信息。
我们乐意跟中国青少年协会和中国商品交易中心开展合作，以便通过互联网把教育送到课堂。
康柏将为12个城市的少年宫和学校捐赠370台个人计算机和13 部服务器。这些设备将允许每个少年宫和学校各设置一个互联教室。本周早些时候，我荣幸地出席了北京市青少年宫的开幕仪式，并对康柏公司为中国青少年作出如此巨大的贡献感到自豪。
通过这些努力，青少年不仅可以利用互联网改善他们的教育条件，而且可以学到帮助中国实现信息技术和电子商务目标所迫切需要的技术。
让年青人了解互联网，也有重要意义。因为它正推动我们的世界发生显著变化，改变我们的通信方式，改变我们购买和销售商品的方式，改变我们的竞争方式，而且改变我们的工作和生活方式。
今天的学生就是明天的信息技术领导者。通过建设互联网基础设施，你们将为这些学生提供帮助中国成为互联网时代领先者所需要的工具。
中国青少年信息网络工程是一个良好的开端。康柏公司能够成为该工程的一部分，感到非常荣幸。
我们将跟你们以及中国其它组织与机构开展密切合作，为使互联网成为你们教育系统和经济的一个有机组成部分提供帮助。
谢谢大家。
