The Internet is subsuming most of our intellectual technologies, becoming our map, clock, printing press, typewriter, calculator, telephone, radio, and TV.
When the Net absorbs a medium, it injects it with hyperlinks and digital features, scattering our attention and diffusing our concentration.
高校英語です。少し長文ですが和訳お願いします!
訳も解釈も難しいです...
長いので手間がかかるとは思いますが
確認したい箇所がたくさんあるので、
どうかよろしくお願いいたします!!
(1)The Internet promises to have particularly far-reaching effects on cognition. In a paper published in 1936, the British mathematician Alan Turing proved that a digital computer, which at the time existed only as a theoretical machine, could be programmed to perform the function of any other information-processing device. And that's what we're seeing today. The Internet, an immeasurably powerful computing system, is subsuming most of our other intellectual technologies. It's becoming our map and our clock, our printing press and our typewriter, our calculator and our telephone, and our radio and TV.
(2)When the Net absorbs a medium, that medium is re-created in the Net's image. It injects the medium's content with hyperlinks, blinking ads, and other digital gewgaws, and it surrounds the content with the content of all the other media it has absorbed. A new e-mail message, for instance, may announce its arrival as we're glancing over the latest headlines at a newspaper's site. The result is to scatter our attention and diffuse our concentration.
