The summer sky over Taipei had a distinctly high-tech hue all June. First there was the 2000 World Congress on Information Technology (WCIT 2000), which attracted such marquee names as Bill Gates, John Chambers, and Carly Fiorina, not to mention the renowned economists Lester Thurow and Robert Mundell. The event highlighted Taiwan's prominent position in the information age, and provoked much thought about "the new economy."
三伏天的六月，台北的天空非常科技，先有二○○○年的資訊科技大會，比爾蓋茲、錢伯斯、菲奧莉娜等資訊超級明星和梭羅、孟岱爾等經濟大師一陣旋風似地為台灣彩繪網路世紀、資訊時代的絢爛，也留下不少「新經濟時代」值得深思的論點。
