演讲稿

It's a pleasure to be here today. In many ways it's kind of interesting because if somebody would have asked, would an Internet working company be given a key note at COMDEX just two years ago, how many people in this room would have said that would happen? Three seats in the front row, But even with our own company, we wouldn't consider this—a desktop of client/server show with operate assistant etc. And how does that net working? And some of the largest players at this show two years ago were nearly ignoring the Internet, and yet if you look today and where the products of almost all the companies at the show will be over the next three years, the devices, be the high tech and low tech, would have major network connectivity and almost all the high productivity applications will elaborate their network in a major way. In short, we are involving to get the technologies closer and closer together, and we are changing almost every aspect of our lives as we go forward. I don't think it's too large a statement to say we are almost in a revolution if you will as we move forward. It will change literally the way we work, live, play, and learn and the way that many people have not thought of. And I want to throw out the discussion referring to the Internet. As you can see as you grow you get a lot more attention in many ways. Most of them are for the better if we wish to move forward. We want all our concerns, but also encourage people to voice their concerns at the right time and our voice being very accessible to anyone's concerns at any point of time.
今天很荣幸来到这里。从许多方面来讲，这挺有趣的，因为如果有人问，哪家互联网公司两年前能在计算机商业博览会上发表重要演说呢，在座的有多少人会说这会发生呢？也就前排的三个人吧。即使是我们公司也无法想像台式机或客户/服务器是如何被连接起来工作的。两年前的博览会上，一些大公司几乎没有在乎过互联网，然而如果你放眼三年后的博览会，几乎所有的公司都会将其产品，无论是高技术的还是低技术的通过网络连接起来，并且网络应用几乎在他们所有离产出应用产品中都占有重要地位。简而言之，这种技术与我们越来越近，息息相关，使我们也在改变生活中的方方面面。我不认为这是说大话，因为我们实际正处于一场革命中，它正改变着我们的工作、生活、娱乐、 学习以及人们还没想到的其他方面。我打算进行一次关于互联网的讨论。正如大家所见，在每个人成长的过程中，都会得到许多方面的关注，如果我们希望向前发展，其中大多数关注都会促使你成长。我们想要所有人关注我们，但我们也鼓励人们在适当的时间说出他们的想法，并且任何人在任何时候都能得到我们的建议。
