You“re twenty now, r
34、ight? M: Right. W: What do you think about what Nina said? M: I definitely agree that younger people are less intimidated by technology. But when I compare myself with other people my age, I don“t see myself as particularly good with computers, most of my friends are much better with computers than
35、I am. But this summer, I worked in an office with lots of adults, and I realized that I“m a lot more comfortable with technology than they are. W: Do you use e-mail a lot? M: Well, I do agree that letters make better keepsakes, but e-mail“s just so much more convenient! For example, I“m away at coll
36、ege now and I don“t know how I could keep in touch with my high school friends without e-mail. I like e-mail because it“s such a casual form of communication, it“s great for just saying hello and checking up on people. For more extended interaction, I still use the phone a lot. But for just telling
37、people that you thought of them that day or that you miss them e-mail is great. W: How often would you say that you e-mail people? M: Well, I check my e-mail at least five times a day, I would estimate. Actually, probably a bit more. I also have IM, that is instant messaging, configured so that it l
38、oads the program automatically whenever I turn on my computer, so I am on that a lot as well. It definitely makes you spend more time on the computer than you meant to. Sometimes I just turn on my computer to check on one little thing, and all of a sudden three people send me instant messages and I
39、talk to them for half an hour. But it“s not wasted time, because I love to hear from my friends. W: So young people are better with computers than adults. M: I don“t know if kids are really better at computers or just more used to them. Computers can definitely be intimidating, especially when they
40、go wrong. For people who aren“t familiar with them, I think a typical response is to use them as little as possible. My dad is like that. But once you get over your initial fear of just fiddling around with them and testing things out, it becomes a lot more fun, and it“s really not difficult. W: Wha
41、t about your friends? M: Well, I guess my generation is hooked on the Internet. But people don“t make it their whole life, it“s just one other thing they like to do. It really opens up a lot of doors, the Internet. It makes a lot of things accessible. My college now is a pretty Web-based school. At
42、first I was a little bit surprised at how much the Internet was used. Like, for example, all of my syllabi for my classes are online. W: Do you think the Internet has any disadvantages? M: Well, something that is bad about the Internet is that not everyone has access to it. I feel like when my gener
43、ation is grown up and part of the work force, computer skills are just going to be assumed, they won“t be an added asset like I think they are today. So what will happen to the people in my generation who don“t have these computer skills, you know? They“re really going to be at a disadvantage. So, I
44、 think the Internet could increase the disparities between different classes, which is horrible. Or maybe technology just illuminates existing disparities in a different way. I“m not sure. In my own life, though, I love having the Internet. I don“t know what I“d do without it. Which of the following
