Computers are very important to modern life.Many people think that in the future computer
s will be
used a lot in everyday life.It is thought that we won't have to go shopping because we will be able to get
most things which are sold in shops on the Internet.There will be no more books because we will be able
to get all texts from computers.The Internet will be used to play games, see films and buy food.Most
telephone calls will be made by computers, too.
Some people are glad about those new ways of shopping and communicating.Others do not think that
computers will replace our old ways.
Let's look at books, for example.Some people think that one day we will not read books made of
paper.Instead, we will buy and read books using computers.We will read texts on small pocket computers.The computers will keep many different books in them at the same time.We won't need to turn lots of
pages and paper will be saved.Computerized (计算机化的) books will be used more and more.
Is Internet shopping such a pleasure as going to the shop?Many people say it is not.It is a pleasure to
go into shops and look at things you want to buy.It is also unlikely that many people will want to read
large texts on our computers, because paper books will perhaps be more friendly.Maybe computers
won't change these two habits.
