The year 2000 will bring big changes in communication．Cell phone

The year 2000 will bring big changes in communication．Cell phones will be small enough to carry in your pocket．Videophones will let you see the person you are talking to on the phone．Tiny hand size computers will know your favorite subjects．The Internet and email will be everywhere．Technologists believe 2000 will be the year of video messaging．You will be able to see whom you're talking to. Also in the near future small wireless boxes will pick up information from satellites．In 5 years,computers won't need to be connected through wires. All of this will be good for rural areas and countries that don't have cable or telephone now． In 20 years you may only need to think about something and the computer will do it. Constance Hale is the author of Sin and Syntax,"I believe that email has been an incredible boon to communication．People are writing today where they would have been telephoning yesterday．So people are engaging with words more than they have for the last couple generations." If people use email and the Internet more,it could make people better readers and writers．Some people think the most important part of communication is to make people understand each other better．Will technology make that easier? The translator also comes in handy in medical emergencies．Tam Dinh says,"Where people are injured it's always important to get as much information as quickly as possible." Bob Parks is an Associate Editor of Wired Magazine,"Bob's morning begins at about 6:45 am．and Bob is kind of mad,because Bob usually gets up at around 7:15 and likes to cut it close with his morning commute,but I look at my radio and it says that there's a traffic jam on 101 South and I'm gonna need an extra 1/2 hour．And so my radio has got a net connection,wireless net connection as well as a good old power cord to the wall and it has received notice that there's a traffic jam and it has calculated an extra 1/2 hour commute time." Some day everything may be connected to the Internet．Your refrigerator will add milk to your Internet grocery list when the date on the carton has passed．Light bulbs will be ordered before they burn out. It's fun to try to guess the future．Usually the predictions are wrong．The one thing we know for sure is that we can't imagine how technology will change.

【正确答案】：C
【题目解析】：Constance Hale 在文章中提到 "I believe that email has been an incredible boon to communication. People are writing today where they would have been telephoning yesterday. So people are engaging with words more than they have for the last couple generations." 这句话明确表达了她的观点，即电子邮件对通信来说是一个巨大的福音，因为人们现在通过电子邮件书写的内容，在过去他们可能会通过电话来沟通。这意味着随着电子邮件的普及，人们更多地使用了书写和阅读来交流，而不是仅仅通过电话。 现在我们逐一分析选项： A. 人们想看到他们在电话中交谈的人 - 这不是Constance Hale的观点，文章中提到的是视频电话（Videophones）可以让人看到电话交谈的对象。 B. 电子邮件比打电话更容易 - 文章中没有提及电子邮件和电话之间的难易比较。 C. 人们使用电子邮件和阅读更多了 - 这与Constance Hale的观点一致，她提到人们现在更多地使用书写和阅读来进行交流。 D. 电子邮件不是私密的 - 文章中并未提及电子邮件的私密性问题。 因此，正确答案是C。
