上一題
Cyber-security is now part of all our lives. “Patches” and other security updates arrive for phones, tablets and PCs. Consultants remind us all not to open unknown files or plug unfamiliar memory sticks into our computers. The bosses of some Western firms throw away phones and laptops after they have been to China assuming they have been hacked. And yet, as our special report this week points out, digital walls keep on being breached.Last year more than 800m digital records, such as credit- and debit-card details, were pinched or lost, more than three times as many as in 2012. According to a recent estimate by the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, a think-tank, the cost to the global economy of cyber-crime and online industrial espionage stands at $445 billion a year—about as much as the GDP as of Austria. Now a new phase in this contest is emerging: “the Internet of things”. This involves embedding miniature computers in objects and connecting them to Internet using wireless technology. Cisco, a technology company, predicts that 50 billion connected devices will be in circulation by the end of the decade, up from 11 billion last year. Web-connected cars and smart appliances in homes are becoming more common, as are medical devices that can be monitored by doctors many miles from their patients. Tech companies are splurging cash: witness Google’s punt on driverless cars and the $3.2 billion it has spent buying Nest, a maker of smart thermostats. (From The Economist July 12th 2014)

by the end of the decade，而不是2015// breach 破壞// debit 借方// 轉帳卡（英語：Debit Card），在中國大陸稱為「借記卡」，在台灣有時稱為「簽帳卡」，在香港和澳門稱之為「扣賬卡」，在新加坡和馬來西亞稱為「轉帳卡」，是種可以在商店刷卡消費，刷卡時直接由存款帳戶扣款，有多少錢，才能刷多少錢，不會產生超刷、透支或動用循環利息的狀況。借記卡也可以透過ATM轉帳和提款，不能透支，帳戶內的金額按活期存款計付利息。借記卡使用時一般需要簽名或輸入密碼（PIN）。借記卡的等級和信用卡一樣，可以分為普卡、金卡和白金卡或商務卡。Visa轉帳卡和信用卡的使用方式一模一樣，將卡片交給店員刷卡後，在簽單上簽名即可。(維基百科)// pinch 修剪// think tank 智囊團，智庫// espionage 間諜活動// splurge 揮霍金錢// punt 下賭注// thermostat 自動調溫器
