The projects will help people in their daily lives.For example, the e-govenment project will enable people to use digital technology to find and use government information and services freely and quickly.Information will include leisure(休闲), education, work and home life. Guangzhou, with one million Internet users, is one of the first Chinese cities to apply information technology to banking, medical and real estate(房地产)management areas.Guangzhou mayor Lin Shusen says that in the future every person who lives in that city will be able to use the computer network.
