KRISTIE LU STOUT, CNN ANCHOR ︰Now, it is estimated that two-thirdsof the world's population still does nothave access to the Internet.儲存 Well,Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, he wantsto change that. He has just announcedan initiative ( 計劃) to bring the entireworld online, and he sat down withCNN's Chris Cuomo for this exclusiveinterview.CHRIS CUOMO,CNN CORRESPONDENT ︰When you visit the Facebook campus, you get the sense that anything is possible. And now,Zuckerberg wants to make the entire world like the Facebook campus in a way, by providing Internet access to the entire world. The idea is called Internet.org. Its target: the five billion people around the globe without access to the Net.MARK ZUCKERBERG, CO-FOUNDER& CEO, FACEBOOK INC ︰I mean, here, we use things like Facebook to share news and catch up with our friends, but there, they're going to use it to decide what kind of government they want, get access to health care for the first time ever,connect with family hundreds of miles away that they haven't seen in decades. Getting access to the Internet is a really big deal. I think we're going to be able to do it.CHRIS CUOMO ︰And the word "we" is the key word here because this isn't just about Facebook. Zuckerberg has done something extraordinary to achieve the extraordinary, reached out to the biggest players in social media and mobile data, aka (also known as) his competitors in part, to work together.So, a team of the best in the business is coming together, but for a task this size, uniting five times the global presence Facebook has already, it's going to take a lot more.What about the how? How do you do this? How developed is the plan?MARK ZUCKERBERG ︰You know, we have a plan, a rough plan for what we think we're gonna need to do to pull it off, and, of course,the plan will evolve ( 發展) over time and we'll get better ideas. But, you know, if you look at the trends, I mean, data is becoming more available to people, right? Apps aremini storagegetting more efficient to run. There are new business models to help more people get online.CHRIS CUOMO ︰It's also good for Facebook and these other companies, right, because mobile access to the Internet is where your business lies, right?MARK ZUCKERBERG ︰You know, if we were just focused on making money, the first billion people that we've connected have way more money than the rest of the next six billion combined. It's not fair,but it's the way that it is. And we just believe that everyone deserves to be connected and on the Internet. So we are putting a lot of energy towards this.CHRIS CUOMO ︰You have to run one of the biggest companies, and when you want a distraction from that, you've decided to take on the "easy" task of immigration policy and the United States. Why are you wading into those waters?MARK ZUCKERBERG ︰When we were first talking about doing this, a lot of people actually were worried that it was gonna be a problem for Facebook, right? And I just decided...I think that this is too important of an issue for the country. I mean, there are 11 million undocumented people who came here to work hard and contribute to the country.And, you know, it's... I don't think it's quite as polarised ( 兩極化) as people always say.CHRIS CUOMO ︰What would be your advice to the people in D.C. ( 華府) who are trying to balance these two almost diametrically opposed positions? One is immigration policy is about what you're talking about — let's bring in our human potential — and the other one is let's find a way to get them out.MARK ZUCKERBERG ︰Well, it's... I can't really tell anyone how to legislate (立法), right? Everyone understands this stuff way better than I do. So, you know, my goal in this is just to try to help support folks who care deeply about getting this done, on both sides, and hopefully we can make a difference.足本Video: link.mingpao.com/14428.htmc2013CableNewsNetwork, Inc.,ATimeWarnerCompany.All rights reserved. 資料來源:CNN互動英語雜誌self storage
