3 The new development in information technology has been called the grid(网格技术),and it will be a network of computers that are linked together。The grid will work in a different way from the Internet, enabling you to get the power of the biggest computers in the world on your computer.Accessing the information will no longer depend on the power of your computer.The idea is that while you access information, you will also have access to the power of the bigger computer stations.
4 0ne advantage of this revolutionary idea is that geographical location will become irrelevant. The grid will decide which are the best parts of a worldwide network to do the job you want.This means that you may be accessing a computer in Japan to solve a problem in Alaska.
5 The grid can be compared to having an efficient personal assistant.You can give your assistant a task and he will do it for you.The assistant will do the preliminary research, collect the data, compare them and decide on the best course of action by accessing any of the computer centres in the grid that happen to have the relevant information.All you have to do is assign the task, sit back and wait.
6 At present, possible applications of the grid in scientific research are being explored.While it has taken about fifteen years for Internet use to become widespread, experts believe that the grid could be up and running for private individuals far more quickly.Scientists working on grid projects are convinced that it will be as widely used as the web in the next ten years.
