In higher education, there is a university in Canada,Atherbasca University, that delivers 100 percent ofits courses by what is called distant learning. Nostudents on campus, no campus. All instruction isdelivered online. And they have captured nearly 30percent of all MBA students in Canada. Governmentsare using networks to transform every thing, fromthe way they buy goods and services, to thedelivery of services to citizens. Singapore is putting 10 thousand suppliers online, reducingcosts and increasing efficiency, and by the way is compared with the advantage in Asia. Whenthe government of Verlancia in southern France, starts wiring entire villages, allowing citizens toconduct online transactions with local businesses, schedule a doctor's appointment, getinformation from their kids' school -- you know something interesting is starting to happen.And believe me in America, when in certain stage you can register your car on the Internet andnot have to go a way in line. I can assure you something important is happening. Trust me onthis one.
在高等教育领域,加拿大有一所......大学完全通过所谓的远程教育传授它的课程。校园中没有学生,也没有校园。所有的指导都是在线传送的。几乎加拿大全部 MBA 学生中的 30%都出自这所大学。政府正在利用网络改变着所有的一切,从购买货物和服务的方式到向市民提供服务的方式都在改变。新加坡正在将 1 万个供应商放到网上,降低了成本并且提高了效率,另外还因此在亚洲地区赢得了有势。当法国南部的......政府将整个村子连接起来,使得市民可以在线的同本地商业企业进行交易、预约医生、从他们的孩子就读的学校获取信息 -- 你们可以看得出,一些有趣的事情正在发生。请相信我,发展到一定程度后,在美国你们将能够在 Internet上注册汽车而不必排队等候。我向你们保证,一些重要的事情正在发生。在这一点上请相信我。
