The current information age, sometimes called the “Third Industrial Revolution,” is based on rapid technological advances in computers, communications, and software, which in turn have led to a dramatic fall in the cost of creating, processing, transmitting, and searching for information of all kinds. And this means that world politics can no longer be the sole province of governments.
这个某些人称之为“第三次工业革命”的信息化时代是基于电脑，通信和软件的飞速发展，并随之导致创造，处理，发射和搜索所有信息的成本急速下降。这意味着国际政治将不再是政府的专利。
