[...]111: All that is true, but defending lighthouses as a matter of utility surely misses the point. 2: Of course, lighthouses draw tourists, who spend money; one informal study estimated that restoring the Bodie Island lighthouse, which is scheduled to open to visitors for the first time in April 2013, would add $8.7m in total income to the regional economy. 3: But for Ms Padgett, preserving them is a way “to give our children and grandchildren a feel for what happened in this place a hundred or two hundred years ago.” 4: Men built them by hand to stand watch over the sea. 5: Lighthouses remind people that as mariners battled what Walt Whitman called “the wild unrest, the snowy, curling caps—that inbound urge and urge of waves, Seeking the shores forever,” someone was watching over them, and wishing them safely home.

[...]111:上面说的没错，但从实用性角度为灯塔辩护，显然没有说到关键之处。2: 当然，灯塔吸引了大批来此消费的游客；一项非官方调查预计修整 Bodie灯塔将为当地经济带来总计870万美元的收入，该灯塔预计于2013年4月首次向游客开放。 3:但在Padgett女士看来，保存好灯塔是让“我们子孙感受一两百年来这里变迁”的一种方式。4:人们建造灯塔来让它们守候大海。5:灯塔让人们想到，当水手们与沃尔特.惠特曼笔下“那永不宁静的奔腾,那白浪般的滚卷的浪峰----那向陆地急推又急推的浪头“搏斗时，有人在灯塔上眺望，盼望他们安全归来。

1:GWI's picture, it should be said, is far from complete.[...]112:It misses out Africa entirely, except for South Africa.3:Self-reported data also have their pitfalls: LIRNEasia, an Asia-Pacific IT think-tank, recently found that many Indonesians who reported using Facebook said they were not internet users—perhaps because they were not sure that one implies the other.4:And much of the world is going mobile-only, particularly in developing markets; preliminary GWI data suggest that a quarter of web visitors in Indonesia and Vietnam use only a mobile (from which VPN access is, these days, just as easy).5:Yet both surveys and click-counting software were conceived and optimised for desktop users.6:Uptake of mobiles is faster than the effort to capture demographic data from them.

1:应该说GWI的图片还远远没有完成。[...]112:因为它遗漏了除南非以外的整个非洲。3:自说自画的报告也存在其缺陷： 亚洲LIRNE是一个亚太区域的网络智囊库，最近发现许多被报告称正在使用FACEBOOK的印尼人称自己并非互联网用户—这也许是因为他们不能确定FACEBOOK就意味着互联网。4:此外，世界上许多地区仅仅能用手机通讯，由其是在发展中市场；GWI初步数据显示，在印尼和越南，1/4的人仅仅使用一部手机上网。（如今通过手机，虚拟专用网接入非常容易）。5:不过，人们已经为手机桌面用户量身定做了调查软件和点击率软件。6:统计手机信息比搞数据一个个去搞数据采集可快多了。
