英文翻译,麻烦各位.
The benefits of the new technology of today, computers and the internet, are particularly ambiguous. They have made work ever more efficient and knit the world together in a web of information and phone lines. Some visionaries speak of a world in which Erg need not check in to his office; he can just dial in from home. He won’t need to go to a bar to pick up women because there are all those chat rooms. Hungry? Erg orders his groceries from an online delivery. Bored? Download a new game. And yet…
Many people, myself included, are a little queasy about that vision. Erg may be doing work, but is it real work? Are his online friends real friends? Does anything count in a spiritual way if it’s just digital? Since the Industrial Revolution, we have been haunted by the prospect that we are turning into our machines: efficient, productive, soulless. The newest technologies, we fear, are making us as flat as our screen, turning us into streams of bits of interchangeable date. We may know a lot of people, but we have few real friends. We have a lot of things to do, but no reason to do them. In short, the new technology emphasizes a spiritual crisis that has been building for quite some time.
其中Erg是作者虚拟出来的人名,可以理解：代指人类.无实在意义.

今天的新技术的好处,如电脑和互联网,是非常含糊的.它们使工作更加有效率,将世界用信息网络和电话线编织在一起.在有些远见家预言的世界中,尔格不需要到他的办公室报到,他可以直接从家里拨号.他不用去酒吧泡妞,因为有这么多聊天室.饿了吗?尔格从网上订购杂货邮递.无聊吗?下载一个新游戏.可是...
很多人,包括我自己在内,对这一预见有些疑问.尔格可能在工作,但那是真正的工作吗?他的网上朋友是真正的朋友吗?如果任何事都是数字化了,还能算是精神的吗?自工业革命以来,我们一直被会变成机器的想法而困扰：效率,生产力,缺乏灵魂.这些最新的技术,我们担心,正在将我们变成屏幕一样的扁平,变成一连串可以交换的二进制数据.我们可能知道很多人,但是我们没有几个真正的朋友.我们有很多事情要做,但却没有理由去做.总之,新技术加重了已经积蓄很久了的精神危机.
