Nowadays, computer is becoming more and more widely used. But people are not that familiar with knowledge of computer. How to operate computers still requires much devotion. Computer people talk a lot about the need for other people to become
" computer-literate"
, in other words, to learn to understand computers and what makes them tick. Not all experts agree, however, that this is a good idea.
One pioneer, in particular, David Tebbutt, is the founder of Computertown in UK. Although many people see this as a successful attempt to bring people closer to the computer, David does not see it that way. He said that Computertown UK was formed for just the opposite reason, to bring computers to the people and make them "people-literate".
David first got the idea when he visited one of America’ s best-known computer "guru" figures, Bob Albrecht, Albrecht, in the small university town of Palo Alto in Northern California. Albrecht had started a project called Computertown USA in the local library, and the local children used to call round every Wednesday to borrow some time on the computer there, instead of borrowing library books. Albrecht was always on hand to answer any questions and to help the children discover about computers in their own way.
Over here, in Britain, Computertowns have taken off in a big way, and there are now about 40 scattered over the country. David Tebbutt thinks they are most successful when tied to a computer club. He insists that there be a vast and important difference between the two, although they complement each other. The clubs
cater for
the enthusiasts, who have been with some computer knowledge already, who get together and eventually from an expert computer group. This frightens away non-experts, who are happier going to Computertowns where there are computers available for them to experiment on, with experts available to encourage them and answer any questions. They are not told what to do, how to operate, and they find out.
David Tebbutt finds it interesting to see the two different approaches working side by side. The computer experts have to learn not to tell people about the operating principle of computers, but they have to be able to explain the answers to the questions that people really want to know. In some Computertowns there are question sessions, rather like radio phone-ins, where the experts listen to a lot of questions and then try to work out some structure to answer them. People do not have to learn computer jargons, even to be "computer-literate", but the experts have to translate computer mysteries into easily understood terms; then computers will be easier for people to operate, and the computers will become "people literate". [br] Why did David Tebbutt oppose the idea of "computer-literate"?
选项
A、Because "computer-literate" can hardly bring people closer to the computer.
B、Because "computer-literate" can bring people further to the computer.
C、Because he believed Computertown can bring people much closer to computer.
D、Because he believed that making computer "people-literate" is more significant.
答案
D
解析
细节题。根据题干中的“David Tebbutt oppose the idea of‘computer-literate’”可定位至第二段末句“He said that Computertown UK was formed for just the opposite reason,to bring computers to the people and make them‘people—literate’.”由此可知,David创办电脑城是为了把电脑带到人群中,使电脑具有人文文化,换句话说,他认为,“电脑人文化”比“人具有电脑文化”更有意义。本题容易误选C,但D才是根本原因。
