3、Living in a connected world

【A】In 1989, a British scientist at a physics laboratory in Switzerland published a technical paper that would change the world. The title of the paper was "Information Management: A Proposal." It introduced the world to the World Wide Web − a system for publishing information over the Internet. The world's first-ever website went "live" on December 20, 1990. Seven months later, on August 6, 1991, the World Wide Web made its Internet debut. The World Wide Web made easy access to the Internet possible. Few people could have imagined the changes this would bring about.

【B】Thanks to the Web, we can chat with others and make friends with people from all over the world without stepping foot outside the front door. Now, more than 60 percent of the world's population uses social media, and the average daily time spent on social media is nearly 2.5 hours. Keeping in touch globally has never been easier or cheaper. For business people, some social media help create opportunities for job seekers to network and for job providers to find potential employees.

【C】Want to share your opinions or get the opinions of others? Just create your own account and post your thoughts, pictures, or short videos on various social media. Want to buy a smartphone but are not sure which one best meets your needs? Find an opinion leader on the Web or locate a website that makes those comparisons for you. Exchanging opinions online means we are no longer limited to traditional news media for information.

【D】 Perhaps the biggest commercial revolution made possible by the World Wide Web is e-commerce, the ability to buy and sell online. We can order lunch while sitting on the sofa at home or sell Chinese-made electronics to customers in California. We can make global travel arrangements and even secure visas for some countries online. Need something to help you keep fit? Find an online fitness coach and exercise regularly with professional help. How do we pay for these goods and services? Through the Internet, of course.

【AB】Internet access in the past was limited because everyone needed a PC to connect to the Web. But things have changed with the rise and widespread use of smartphones. The versatile devices have revolutionized the way we interact with the world and have made our lives more convenient and efficient.

【AC】 Smartphones have become an indispensable tool for getting around. They provide built-in global positioning capabilities that allow us to navigate through unfamiliar places with ease. Whether we are walking, driving, or using public transportation, smartphone navigation applications provide real-time directions, traffic updates, and alternative route suggestions to help us reach our destinations efficiently.

【AD】 Smartphones have transformed the way we consume entertainment. Whether it's streaming music, watching movies and TV shows, or playing games, smartphones offer a portable entertainment experience. With access to various apps and platforms, we can easily enjoy our favorite content anytime, anywhere.

【BC】 With the development of mobile banking apps, smartphones have also made managing personal finances more convenient than ever. From checking account balances to transferring funds, paying bills, and even depositing checks using our smartphone's camera, these apps provide a secure and efficient way for us to handle our financial transactions on the go.

【BD】A connected world of information and communication is now at our fingertips. Even the scientist who proposed the concept of the World Wide Web could not have known how much it would change our daily lives.

1、1 A groundbreaking scientific initiative named "Digital Life" was recently launched in Beijing. This major plan aims to revolutionize our understanding of life and combat serious diseases by using the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and other digital technologies.

2 Led by the National Biomedical Imaging Center (NBIC) at Peking University, the project builds upon a key national scientific facility focused on advanced biomedical imaging (生物医学成像). The core challenge it addresses is the difficulty traditional research faces in connecting information across vastly different scales – from tiny molecules and single cells to entire organs and full body systems. This fragmentation has hindered a complete picture of life and disease.

3 The "Digital Life" plan promises a transformative approach. By enabling trans-scale, multi-mode observations and precise digital measurements of living structures and functions, scientists can create detailed digital models. These models will offer unprecedented insights into complex life processes and the mechanisms behind major illnesses.

4 To achieve this, the NBIC has announced its first 13 collaborative projects with universities, research institutes, and hospitals. These projects will focus on creating digital representations of critical biological systems, including the brain (studying addiction mechanisms), the heart, bone marrow (骨髓), stem cells, and tumors. A key goal is using AI to decode intricate biological processes like our internal body clock.

5 Professor Cheng Heping, Director of the NBIC, emphasized the plan's ambition by saying, "We are committed to dealing with the challenge of integrating data across the vast scales of life, solving the fundamental codes of biology, and providing crucial technological support for understanding diseases and developing precision medicine." Deputy Director Chen Liangyi added that experts from biology, medicine, and related fields will collaborate to digitally decode cells, organs, and whole organisms, revealing both healthy and disease processes.

6 This initiative, centered on a major national facility completed in March 2025, represents a significant leap forward. By translating the complexities of life into digital data accessible at our fingertips, "Digital Life" aims to unlock profound medical breakthroughs and deepen our grasp of what it means to be alive.
