Computer chips and communications technologies are (4) being incorporated into a (5) wide range of consumer electronics to provide the next phase in the information technology (IT) revolution (6) mass access to text, sound, pictures, and fullmotion video on demand.
The future will see chips in clothes, household and (7) office appliances, and building materials as the norm. They will (8) respond to our speech and gestures, and (9) build up a knowledge of us that enables them to (10) second-guess our commands. One day, they may even be able to read our minds, without the need for physical or verbal communication.
The rapidly (11) falling costs of communications and the (12) increasing power and (13) sophistication of computers will (14) have a huge impact on every aspect of our lives over the coming years. They are already dramatically changing the way we learn, live, work, and play in ways that we have quickly (15) taken for granted.
Children in hospital can attend classes by (16) video conferencing from their (17) sick beds. We can shop for groceries and manage our finances via the Internet from the comfort our own homes. Workers can work in teams even though they are located all over the globe, (18) collaborating on the same document on their screens, watching others make changes. And virtual reality technology can (19) immerse us in a (20) fictional world where we can almost believe ourselves to be adventurers, warriors and terminators.
In the short period of time it has been around, the progress and (21) impactof computing, and the opportunities it offers everyone are simply (22) incredible.
