TranslatethefollowingpassageintoChinese.互聯(lián)網(wǎng)已經(jīng)把我們帶入了一個真正的信息時代,而且正在幫助世界各地的人們在一個以前不可想象的范圍內(nèi)相互交流。無論互聯(lián)網(wǎng)和信息高速公路走的是一條什么樣的發(fā)展道路,電訊、電視和計算機行業(yè)一致采用數(shù)碼化的做法永遠改變了我們的交際和計算方式。這種一致將使公司能提供以前因技術有限而不能提供的服務。網(wǎng)絡電視將使觀眾能接觸互聯(lián)網(wǎng)。大屏幕、高保真數(shù)字電視和DVD有可能改變電影的拍攝方法。衛(wèi)星將幫助汽車自行回家。家家戶戶將接收到衛(wèi)星、微波發(fā)射塔、纖維線和銅線傳送的信號。ExercisesforintegratedskillsI.
