Computers are an amazing thing, you know they have really improved people’s lives over the past 15 or 20 years. You know you can do word processing. You can access libraries of information. You can communicate with your friends 24 hours a day across the globe. You can do art. You can watch movies. You can play music. All sorts of interesting and cool stuff, that makes life more pleasurable, or makes life easier, you know, it’s really an amenity that’s been a big part of most people’s lives for a long time now, and they always seem to be improving and getting bigger and better. Well, actually, they’re getting smaller and better, but why is it that over this time, that computers never seem to run smoothly all the time. There’s always little glitches and problems. You know, computers are getting better but so are viruses. Programs are getting easier and better, but they’re also getting more expensive and you always have to upgrade because what you want to get doesn’t work necessarily with what you have on your computer, you know.
电脑是件很神奇的东西，你知道，它们在过去15-20年改善了人们的生活。你知道你可以用电脑进行文字处理。也可以获得信息库。你可以每天24小时和全球的朋友进行交流。你也可以做和艺术相关的事情、可以看电影、听音乐等等。各种有意思的事情会让生活更愉悦，也更舒适，你知道，它作为人们生活中重要的便利设施已经存在很长时间了，它们一直在不断改进，变得更大更好。实际上，它们是越来越小，越来越好，但是为什么这么长时间以来电脑都没能保持顺利运行呢？总是会出现小故障和问题。你知道，电脑越来越好，可是病毒也是如此。程序变得越来越简单，越来越好，但是它们也越来越昂贵，你不得不升级因为你电脑上的程序不能满足你的需求。
