20世纪末,以信息产业为代表的知识经济迅速崛起。这是18世纪工业革命以来人类文明史上又一次重大的变革。正如工业经济彻底改变了农业经济的面貌一样,知识经济将从根本上改变传统工业经济的面貌,成为推动21世纪人类社会进入更高更文明发展阶段最重要的杠杆。 At the end of the 20th century, the knowledge economy represented by the information industry rapidly emerged. This is another major change in the history of human civilization since the industrial revolution in the 18th century. Just as the industrial economy completely changed the face of the agricultural economy, the knowledge-based economy will fundamentally change the face of the traditional industrial economy and become the most important lever in promoting the human society in the 21st century to a higher and more civilized development stage.
