The development of information technology—computers and electronic communication devices—is another factor currently influencing organizational structures.

信息技術 - 計算機和電子通訊設備的發展 - 是目前影響組織結構的另一個因素。

Automatic data-processing systems have been widely   41introduced   in a range of settings. Anyone who draws money out of a bank, or buys an airline ticket, depends on a computer-based communication system.

自動數據處理系統已被廣泛引入一系列設置中。任何從銀行取錢或購買機票的人都依賴於基於計算機的通信系統。

Since data can be processed   42instantaneously   in any part of the world linked to such a system, there is no need for physical proximity between those involved.

由於數據可以在與這樣的系統相關的世界的任何地方瞬間處理，因此不需要所涉及的物理鄰近。

However, a fully-fledged “electronic office,” in which the bulk of the work is carried out by machines rather than humans, is still   43a long way off    , and there are many problems in the way of its realization. 

然而，一個完全成熟的“電子辦公室”，其中大部分工作是由機器而不是人類來完成的，但還有很長的一段路要走，實現過程中存在很多問題。

44Nevertheless    , there is a strong trend towards the transplant of many office activities to electronic machinery.

儘管如此，許多辦公室活動已經轉移到電子機械領域

Word-processors, computer networks, teleprinter links, and other electronic systems have already   45altered    the nature of much office work. In some leading American banks, the trust department, where stock transfers are made, has been completely automated.

。文字處理器，計算機網絡，電傳打印機鏈接和其他電子系統已經改變了許多辦公室工作的性質。在一些主要的美國銀行中，進行股票轉讓的信託部門已經完全自動化。
