For questions 8-10 ,complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Are You Ready for Life in World 3?In the 1970s, Karl Popper came up with a philosophical theory of reality that invol
3、ved three interacting worlds, the physical world, the mental world, and “world 3“, which comprises all products of the human mind-from ideas, pictures and music to every word ever written.Something very similar to world 3 is now real and increasingly influencing how we live,says George Djorgovski, c
4、o-director of the Center for Advanced Computing Research at Caltech. Its called the internet.Its the first morning of Science Foo camp, and Ive chosen a session called “virtualization of science and virtualization of the world“. In fact-fittingly for a meeting being held at Google headquarters-how w
5、e deal with life increasingly lived online turns out to be one of the main themes of the day.Djorgovski reckons that before long, being online will soon mean (among other things) not staring at a computer screen but being immersed in 3D virtual reality.He thinks this will be key to how well make sci
6、entific discoveries in the future. Forget graphs-two dimensions are totally inadequate for dealing with the vast amounts of data pouring out of everything from high-throughput genome sequencing to atom smashers like the Large Hadron Collider. Well need machine intelligence capable of analyzing these
7、 huge data sets, he says, as well as ways to visualize and interact with the results in three dimensions.Such technologies wii1 surely revolutionize education too, with virtual learning replacing the traditional lecture. Djorgovski wants scientists and researchers to get more involved with this proc
8、ess now,pointing out that so far,advances in 3D technology are all coming from the entertainment industry. “We cant let the video game industry drive the future in whats the most important technology on the planet. There has to be more to it than spilling blood and slaying dragons. “Sitting round th
9、e table are experts in everything from psychology and bioethics to space science. Pat Kuhl,an expert in early child learning from the University of Washington, wonders what learning everything online will do to young brains. The consensus around the table is that good or bad, the move into virtual r
10、eality environments is inevitable. “So lets try and offer something more than games,“ says Djorgovski.In a subsequent session on childrens minds, Kuhl tells us about the importance of social cues in early learning. For example,its well-known that babies differ in their ability to distinguish sounds,
11、 depending on the language they are exposed to,by the time they are 10-12 months old. But Kuhl and her colleagues have recently shown that simply hearing tile sounds is not enough. After a few sessions with a Mandarin speaker,American babies could distinguish certain sounds as well as Taiwanese babi
12、es, but those given the same exposure via audio or video learned nothing.So if we dont want kids brains to atrophy(萎缩) in an increasingly virtual world,we must work out how to incorporate the relevant social cues. Kuhi has already found that making the TV screen interactive,so babies can turn it on
13、and off by slapping it,increases-a little bit-how much they learn. Shes now experimenting with web cams. In the afternoon, UK journalist and commentator Andrew Marr tackles the question of what will happen to journalism in an online world, particularly as e-readers like the iPad-which Marr calls a “
14、great engine of destruction become ubiquitous(普遍存在的) .The media we consume will no longer be just words, or just pictures, but a collision of text, video, audio and animated graphics. And people will be able to choose individual items to consume, rather than buying a whole newspaper or watching just
15、 one channel.Like most commentators, Marr thinks this will be the end of newspapers-and perhaps of traditional journalists too. But he thinks this can only be a good thing, arguing that journalism, with its short-term focus and trivial level of debate, has been failing us anyway. In the future he th
16、inks news will come from niche, specialist groups, for example people interested in access to clean water, coming together online. These might include bloggers, campaigners and lobbyists. Above them, authoritative news aggregators will pick out the most important stories of the day and feed them to
17、the rest of us.Marr says this new model will he good for journalism and for democracy, because the people within each community of interest will be experts, and wont lose interest in a topic in the way that traditional reporters do.I sure Marrs right that newspapers as we know them are not going to
18、survive. But I dont feel so optimistic about his vision. I not sure that having aggregators pick from a pool of stories written by specialists with an agenda is necessarily going to give us good journalism. Who is going to write articles in a way that non-specialists can understand? Who will make co
19、nnections between different fields? Who will have the authority to hold politicians to account? Unfortunately the session ends before we have a chance to get into these questions.For some historical perspective, I end the day in a session run by Tilly Blyth, curator of computing at the Science Museu
20、m in London. Whereas Marr spoke to a packed lecture hall, now just five of us sit cosily around a table. Blyth tells us how the Science Museum is using online technologies to try to bring the history of science and technology into our everyday lives.One project is an iPhone app that displays stories
21、 and pictures from history that are relevant to a users location. The other involves asking 200 British scientists to tell their life stories, then linking those oral histories to video clips, searchable transcripts, and perhaps the relevant scientific papers.Blyth wants to create a “global memory“
22、for science, so that we can learn from changes that have gone before. “We tend to think that were living through this amazing period of revolution,“ she says.Then she shows us a satirical illustration from 1880, entitled March of the Intellect, which depicts an array of futuristic contraptions inclu
